In summer, everyone looks healthy, with sun-kissed cheeks and bronzed bodies, but there is a lot more to having healthy skin than spending time in the sun. Dehydration and sun damage can cause irreparable harm to the skin. Following are some effective, natural Summer Skin Care Tips to help you keep your skin looking well-toned and beautiful through those hot summer days.
Stay really hydrated — staying hydrated is essential for skin care routine, so make sure to drink plenty of water. Take a few bottles of water with you if you plan on spending a day at the beach, not only to keep you cool on the inside, but to keep your body well-hydrated too.
Smell naturally amazing — with those lazy, hot summer days, comes dewy skin, sun-kissed hair and sweat! Many conventional deodorants are unable to keep that distinct, sweaty odor at bay during those hot days, so it’s time to opt for something natural that is free of damaging, toxic chemicals. An easy and effective way to get rid of sweaty smells on your body is to eat sprouted fenugreek seeds. Eaten as it is, in a salad, or added to a sandwich, fenugreek is said to make sweat smell like syrup!
Protect your skin from ecological stressors — protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is vital, so make sure to use a good quality, natural sunscreen.
Find out which oil works best for you — each type of oil has different properties with each one having a different effect on your skin. If there’s a type of oil that you prefer, then make sure to use it more often during summer. The hot sun causes the skin to dry out, with some people producing extra oil and others to have skin that starts to age faster than it should. So find the type of oil that works best for you one that balances out the oil on your skin during the summer months.
Increase your fresh juice intake — juice is great to drink at any time of the year, but we should drink more of it during summer. Freshly-squeezed juice contains plenty of antioxidants and we need more of these to help protect our skin from ecological stressors during summer.
Take advantage of the fact that there are loads of fruit and vegetables in summer and increase your daily intake. Many people feel less hungry during the hotter months of the year, because of their lower metabolic needs. This is because the body usually uses a lot of energy to warm itself up in the cold months. Instead of eating less, try replacing one meal a day with a glass of fresh juice and see how you feel!
