Summertime is the time of relaxation and fun and leisure. A time of year when friends and family spend time together on indoor and outdoor picnics trips as well. Swimming and varieties of sports are the most popular activities in summer but one thing surely suffers even if it’s hard to notice and that is your skin.
The skin comprises the largest organ of one’s body. It’s not just layers of tissue but a shield or armour protecting us from outer sources. And in addition to that, facial is most prone to skin damage or worse diseases like dermatitis, psoriasis, acne problems.
The sun rays are said to be fiercer on cloudy days so one can guess what harm can sunlight on summer days do to one. The ultraviolet radiation from sunlight affects and causes sunburn, wrinkles and also optic troubles.
The best way to not let your skin suffer in summer is by maintaining a skin regime that will reduce the effects if you haven’t followed in past and will keep better if you start to follow. The most essential products are as follows:
-
Cleanser
Cleansing is an absolute necessity when it comes to starting a regime. One must find a cleanser that suits your skin with no side effects. Opt-out for organic ingredients and try to quit those which contain parabens, synthetic fragrances and colour, sulfates because they damage your skin from roots and can cause adverse effects.
-
Moisturizer
A lightweight, quickly absorbing and non-greasy moisturizer for the face will do your part of work in summer. One can find numerous variations of moisturizer for certain skin types such as containing salicylic acid-free for oily skin while moisturizers with tocopheryl acetate, glycerin are good for dry skin. Do not forget to use moisturizer after exfoliation.
-
Sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher
You can find sunscreen according to your exposure to sunlight if you are in an area where you are exposed to a high spectrum of sunlight then you should use SPF of 30 to 50, for medium SPF of 15 to 30 will do.
Make sure applying sunscreen becomes your habit because in research conducted by an American dermatologist it is concluded that those who have been using sunblock before any sort of pigmentation appeared on the skin have had fewer chances of skin damage or skin cancer. So make sunscreen a priority.
-
Lip balm
I wonder if anyone can survive without a lip balm. It is an ultimate need. Remember lips are way sensitive and visibly fragile part of your face, so make sure you take good care of them. Again settle for paraben-free, salicylic acid, phenol deficient lip balm as they are of miserable quality. And you wouldn’t want your evident feature to look repulsive.
