Summer Skin Care Tips and Advice

During summer, if you have to go out in the hot sun, think twice. This is because the hot sun may cause irritation to your skin. It may also result in inflammation or infection of the skin.

The problem will be greater if you already have any skin infection. You may become restless in the scorching sun and irritability may take over. So, when you have to go out in the hot summer sun, take effective measures to protect your skin. Here are some tips that could help you protect your skin in the hot summer:

Sunscreen lotion:

These lotions protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays. Apply these lotions half an hour before you go out. These lotions are available in various SPF value factors. It is advisable that using a lotion with a value factor of at least 15 would be appropriate during the hot summer. Look for this number on the label.

Lip Balm:

During summer, the lips may become dry. Use a good quality lip balm, so that the moisture of the lip is maintained, and they are also kept free from irritation.

Herbal bath:

Add a little milk to water, and wash your skin with this mixture. Another herbal method is to mix a few linden blossoms, rose petals, some peppermint leaves and chamomile into hot water. After about an hour, wipe your face with cotton. Then dip a cheese cloth into this mixture, and keep it on your skin for about twenty minutes. This keeps your skin tender, even during the height of summer. It has no side effects.

Moisturizer:

During summer, it is always safe to use a moisturizer. Irrespective of whether you have dry, oily or normal skin, you should use a moisturizer. Another important feature of moisturizer is that it protects your skin in all weather conditions, be it summer or winter. Apply a moisturizer that suits your skin condition.

Exfoliate and Drink water:

Many commercial products are available for exfoliation. Get enough sleep, and drink plenty of water. Take food containing lot of fruits and vegetables, because they help to keep the skin glowing, even during hot summer season.

Use an umbrella:

Prevention is better than the cure. As often as possible, avoid direct exposure to the sun during the hot summer season. For this, use an umbrella. It protects your scalp and your skin also.
