Summer months are associated with a number of skin and hair related issues. While you cannot completely avoid the sun, a few changes in your daily beauty routine can help in nailing all these problems.
* Skipping sunscreen
Agreed! It is not always possible to remember wearing this lotion but we all know the importance of diligently applying generous amounts of broad-spectrum, SPF 30 sunscreen, don’t we? The ultraviolet rays of the sun cause hyperpigmentation, inflammation, fine lines, premature aging and can also lead to skin cancer.
* Not using a moisturizer
Many women do not prefer to use a moisturizer in summers. However, moisturizers are important in protecting the skin from blistering heat, preventing premature aging and sebum formation (Sebum production indicates that your skin is dehydrated and needs moisturizing).
* Hydration
Body consumes more water in summers and not drinking enough water can lead to dull and dehydrated skin in summers. Keep your skin soft and young by having at least 2-3 Liters of water and including fresh foods and vegetables in your diet.
* Makeup mistakes
Since foundations have heavier formulas and can cause clogging of pores in the summer heat, it is better to use a tinted moisturizer to avoid breakouts and acne. You can use one with sun protection formula to keep your routine easy.Keep your makeup as natural as possible and use waterproof products. Replace your powdered makeup with cream based products for a more pleasant look.Use of bold colored lipsticks during the day is another mistake to avoid. Wear lighter and summer friendly shades when using lipsticks.
* Hair blunders
Keep your hair tied in a neat bun or ponytail and step out in the sun wearing a hat or a scarf as excessive heat in the summer months can damage your hair.Overcleansing can make your hair dull and dry. Use a mild shampoo and limit its use to twice a week.Hair styling tools make your hair limp and frizzy in summer and it is recommended to opt for air dried hair. Use a heat protectant serum in case you need to style your hair.Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep your hair smooth. Coconut oil is an effective natural and chemical free treatment for hair.
