To avoid undesirable summer skin troubles, you must immediately improve your skincare routine. Let's have a look at how.

What Effect Does Summer Have on Your Skin?

As the weather warms and humidity rises, your skin's sebaceous glands begin to produce excess sebum (natural oil). The oil released becomes stuck on the skin's surface, causing stickiness, greasy, and plugged pores.

Acne outbreaks are the most common summertime concern. People with oily skin are more prone to it because their skin's germs and oils mingle with sweat, resulting in clogged pores and acne.

Melanin production increases when your skin is exposed to damaging UV rays in order to protect your skin from sun damage. Melanin is a photoprotective pigment. Melanin excess results in darker, browned skin. Other symptoms of sun sensitivity include itchy skin, prickly heat, sunburn, and rash.

How Should You Take Care of Your Skin in the Summer?

1. Excess Oil Removal Face Wash

Oily skin can become even more oily in the heat. Use a face cleanser that is suitable for your skin type that can deep cleanse and remove all dirt and grime. A non-foaming cleanser would be ideal for people with dry skin. Choose gentle, alcohol-free, pH-balanced cleansers.

2. Select a Skin Care Routine

Maintain and strictly adhere to a skin care plan. Choose gel-based (for dry skin) and water-based (for oily skin) products over cream-based ones because they are lighter and less greasy. Cleaning, toning, and moisturising your skin twice a day can help maintain it clean and fresh.

3. Incorporate Antioxidants Into Your Skin Care Routine

Antioxidant serums are fantastic for hydrating your skin. Furthermore, they protect your skin from environmental harm, aid in collagen production, and scavenge free radicals to prevent skin damage. Incorporate an antioxidant serum into your summer skincare regimen. Alternatively, you can incorporate it into your diet by eating citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, green tea, and so on.

"Vitamin C serum is a good option for a summer skincare routine," explains Abhisikta Hati, Senior Product Development Executive at SkinKraft. It is useful in the summer. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger that protects your skin from oxidative damage and aids in the reduction of pigmentation produced by damaging UV rays."

4. Maintain Skin Hydration

Hydration is essential at all times during the heat. After washing your face at night, use a hydrating face mask for extra moisture while sleeping. To keep your skin fresh, spritz it with water or carry a facial mist with you at all times. 

5. Exfoliate to Maintain Healthy Skin

To eliminate excess debris and oil from the skin, use a face scrub at least twice a week. Only remember to use a scrub appropriate for your skin type and gently massage the scrub in a circular motion. Make careful to exfoliate your lips and neck as well.

6.Almond Oil + Sandalwood

Almond oil is a great way to rejuvenate and brighten your skin. Sandalwood lightens the complexion.

Make a sandalwood paste and then add almond oil to it. Mix the ingredients and apply the paste to your skin for 20 minutes. Later, rinse well.

7.Yoghurt + Honey

Honey preserves your skin's natural hydration while yoghurt brightens it.

In a bowl, combine one cup of yoghurt and one spoonful of honey. Mix thoroughly and apply on your skin. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing with cool water.
