The summer season takes a toll on your skin and takes away the essential oils and natural glow so if you are looking for tips to keep a happy skin, in the comfort of your home – there are some easy solutions. These tips will not just help you in taking good care of your skin this summer but are also budget-friendly.
Do’s for glowing skin
Exfoliate Your Skin
The body sheds skin cells every minute of every day, and if you don’t get rid of them, they set on your skin making your face look dull and dry.
You can empty bottles of lotion on your skin; you won’t get glowing skin if you don’t exfoliate. Please note that body scrub and face scrub are different and one cannot replace the other.
Sunscreen
You got to be daring to step out of your house without sunscreen in this scorching heat. Buy sunscreens that have UVA or UVB products that come in SPF 30 and SPF 70. Don’t use last year’s sunscreen, throw them away and get a new one.
A teaspoon of sunscreen should be enough for your skin, and if you spend too much time under the sun, re-apply it every 2-3 hours.
Face mist
Face mist can keep your face hydrated and cool this summer. Place a green tea bag in boiled water for a while, remove it off and let it cool down. Add 4 drops of tea tree essential oil to the liquid, pour it into a bottle, and shake it to make sure it mixes properly.
Use a spray bottle to keep it, as it will be easy for you to use. Mists make your skin cool, calm, and hydrated instantly.
Water
No matter how many fruit juices or other beverages you drink, only water will make you feel fresh. Consume at least 8 glasses of water in a day, as it will not only prevent dehydration but will help in washing out a lot of toxins from the body.
Don’ts for glowing skin
Use multiple products
As much as beauty advertisements and product reviews excite you. But at the end of the day, all of these products come with certain chemicals and preservatives in them. Moderate use of some products is beneficial.
Keep touching your face
Most of us have a habit to go on touching our face. Be it due to stress or just something that comes to us naturally. Our hands gather way too much bacteria from our phones and laptops, and touching our face transfers that to our skin which in turn, irritates the skin. This leads to acne and rashes more often than not.
Pick black and whiteheads with your fingers
We all feel tempted to quickly squeeze out that pimple or blackhead on our face knowing fully well that that will cause it to flare up further and leave a permanent mark, perhaps.
