Elixir of Life: Last but definitely not the least, have plenty of water! Carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go. It will be best if you can add glucose powder to it as summer often makes you dehydrate quickly which results in fatigue. Beat the heat by drinking as much water as you can.
Sunscreen is a must during summers. You must apply a sunscreen with an SPF value of 15 or higher to protect your skin from the harmful rays. Make sure that you apply your sunscreen atleast half an hour before you step out in the sun, for optimum results. The most important thing to be remembered is sunscreen has to be applied above the moisturiser and below the make up.
Deep conditioning: Is the humid weather causing your hair to get frizzy? Deep conditioning is your solution. Try to wash your hair atleast four times in a week as it is very important to wash away the sweat and grime that is easily accumulated during the summers. Also, avoid blow drying your hair as the sun gives you enough heat already.
Lip care: You never forget to dab Vaseline on your lips in winter, do you? Well, you need to do so in summer as well! Ignoring the lips during summers, result in the lips turning dry and chapped. You must apply a little sunscreen on your lips as well, before stepping out. Before going to bed, rub a few drops of pure almond oil on your lips. This will ensure that your lips look soft and pink.
Cucumber cool: Feeling hot hot hot? Your skin needs to cool down too. Run a small peeled cucumber and 4-5 almonds through a blender. Add some cold milk to the paste. Apply it on your face and voila! Say hello to super soft skin with all the internal heat soaked up!
Body Scrubs: Cleansing your skin is very important in summers. Scrub and exfoliate your face atleast twice a week to keep it looking fresh.
De-tan: Bleaching is a good option to de-tan. But if you hate getting your face bleached, try this homemade pack instead to lighten your summer tan. Blend some curd into gram flour (besan) till it forms a smooth paste. Squeeze half a lemon into it (citrus have a natural bleaching effect). Experience, a happy glowing skin, minus those appointments and waiting hours in your parlour!
Make Up Tips: Try to avoid foundation as much as possible, as they can be harsh on your skin during summers! If you are experiencing an outburst of acne on your skin right now, foundation could be your culprit! Do not forget to apply moisturiser on your skin, no matter what skin type you possess, as moisturisers act as a gentle layer between your skin and the summer dust.
Sunburn remedies: So you went out without a sunscreen and now your skin burns like hell, does it? Apply aloe vera extract or lotions containing aloe vera to the sunburnt area. Aloe vera soothes your skin and helps the sunburnt area to heal faster.
Summer accessories: Fun in the sun, that’s what summer’s all about! So get funky and look stylish as you step out in the sun. A nice straw hat and cool shades accessorised with your cute little summer dress will work wonders! You can go here -weekly loot- to know more about this summer’s hot accessories!
