Skincare for summer
Your skin can judge and evaluate what’s going on inside. If you are physically and emotionally healthy and taking care, it would show on your skin. And with extreme climate conditions, we must manage both. Summers are just the time when the skin the regeneration process is quick. Do you know our skin regenerates every 27 days? Is there a beauty routine you follow during summer, does it include 8 glasses of water?
A great skincare routine can begin with exfoliation. A process as simple as using either a natural or chemical-based scrub on our skin can give an instant glow to the surface. What exfoliation does to skin is removing the dead cells and clearing out the clogged pores. To begin with, this is a very critical step; otherwise, what happens is all the routine you follow is just right on top of the dead cells, which will continue to leave your skin looking dull. Regular exfoliation helps keep skin healthy and glowing. Of course, don’t exfoliate more than once a week.
Skin regeneration starts to slow down with age, and there is a natural buildup of dead skin making it rough, dry and patchy. Also, clogged pores can lead to breakouts, further damaging the skin. Regeneration is more critical during summer when the skin needs extra protection and hydration.
Sugar and coffee can work wonders on the skin. Sea salt is also a great option to use in natural scrubs. Whip up filter coffee powder, sea salt, and eucalyptus oil all half cup with a quarter cup of sesame oil. This scrub is great, natural and can be made at home.
The Next thing to watch during summer is hydrating, not just the body but the skin as well. Summertime is all about refreshing drinks, either homemade, fresh, or canned. How do we hydrate the skin? Consider including supplements to your daily diet. Fruits, vegetables and 8 glasses of water in your diet will help flush out toxins from under the skin. Moisturizing, finding the right cream for your skin is important. Something that’s not heavy and doesn’t clog pores. Get moisturizing this summer for the extra boost of anti-oxidants for the skin.
