Summer Beauty Guide: From Avoiding Makeup To Taking Cold Shower, Here's What You Should Do

Going out in the sun? Are you prepared to face the harsh UV rays?  It is not just tanning we are talking about, strong UV rays can lead to cause cancer, liver spots, wrinkles, and premature aging- Yes, you heard us right. Stepping out without taking any precaution can make you look old! But fret not! Some simple tips can keep your skin safe and glowing in every weather.

Keep Yourself Hydrated

This one is a no-brainer, and yet so many of us forget this simple rule. Your body loses a lot of water in the summers, so keep sipping water from your bottle. This is important to keep your skin hydrated, flush out toxins from your body, and will keep you fresh as a flower!

Don’t Forget Your BFF- Sunscreen

It’s a myth that one should apply sunscreen in summers. Don’t step out without applying sunscreen, no matter, whether its summer or winter. Sunscreen acts as a shield for your skin, protecting you from harmful UV radiations that cause wrinkles, sunburn, and premature aging.

Exfoliate

Cleanse your face twice a day and exfoliate your skin two to three times a week. Exfoliation will help you to get rid of dirt stuck within the pores. You can use any exfoliating cream available in the market or simply use a washcloth and scrub it gently on your skin.

Stay Low On Makeup

Sure, we all love to apply makeup. But when it comes to applying makeup in summers, go minimal. Due to high temperature and humidity, a thick layer of makeup in summers doesn't let your skin breathe. Stick to a simple kajal and avoid wearing heavy foundation. Chose a hight weight CC or BB cream instead. And remember to take it off all makeup, and moisturize before going to bed.

Do Not Forget Sunglasses

The area around your eyes, neck, and ears is very delicate as compared to the rest of your body. So before stepping out make sure, you’re wearing sunglasses and a hat. This will protect your face from UV radiations and from the formation of wrinkles around your eyes. After a long day in the sun try a cucumber eye mask to relieve the stress and lines.

Cool Off Your Skin

Avoid taking hot showers or steams as it will dehydrate your skin. Take a cold shower instead, it will keep your skin pores unclogged and fresh. Add a capful of rose water to your bath for instant freshness. You can all replenish dry skin with gram flour and yogurt body mask.
