Summer skin care tips - Is your skin ready to beat the heat???

 Cleansing:

As our skin tends to get more oily and sweaty in summers, use a gentle foaming cleanser that effectively removes dirt & excess oil. Try to avoid oil based cleansers & do not over wash your face.

Toning:

Use floral waters to tone and refresh your skin. They reduce the burning sensation caused by heat & rejuvenate your skin. 

Hydrating & Moisturizing :

If you have oily to combination skin switch to hydrators completely in summers. People with dry & sensitive skin can use light moisturizer. Hyaluronic acid based products can suit your skin the best in summers. Avoid facial oils & heavy moisturizers completely.

Treatments:

if you are using any actives to treat your skin concerns like arbutin, vitamin c, salicylic acid etc., choose serums instead of creams. Just use 2 to 3 drops of the serum that feels much lighter than a cream.

SPF:

Choose a sunscreen that has light texture & dry touch. Gel sunscreens are the best option to go for in summers.

Exfoliation:

Switch to chemical exfoliators as harsh scrub particles can rupture swollen sweat glands & cause rashes in summers.

Masking:

Use face masks/packs with cooling ingredients like cucumber, mint, sandalwood, Aloe Vera etc. Masking relaxes your skin & relief from burning sensation caused by heat.
