Essential skincare tips for summer
Every change of season requires an update to your regular skin regime. From using the right kind of toner to staying away from certain products, there are ways to make sure you don’t have summer-struck skin. Here’s a guide:
Anti-ageing creams: It’s a myth that anti-ageing creams are for those who have developed fine lines and wrinkles. Preventive skincare measures can be taken if you are above the age of 25. For the season, go for seed-based products with chia and grapeseed, which helps in keeping the skin firm, healthy. The mix can protect one from the effects of UV rays, pollution, etc. Sunblock: Sunblock is vital across seasons, and in summer, the need for a product that saves one from the harsh rays of the sun becomes even more essential.
Oil-based products: One should stay away from products with oils and rich natural butter as they might clog your pores or form a sweaty film on your skin. Cleanse perfect: Use a cleanser with excellent cleansing abilities such as foam cleansers or gels. Tone it up: Use a toner with clarifying and cooling ingredients such as neem oil and aloe vera to refresh your skin and to bring it back to balance. Men can use the toner instead of an aftershave and use a light cooling gel as final care.
Getting rid of puffiness: Put tea bags in your fridge and place them on your eyelids in the morning for an immediate decongestant effect. Follow by a light gel which moisturises the skin without leaving any oily residues.
