Summer Arrival: Follow These Tips In Summer To Have A Flawless Skin

If you happen to reside in a country (somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere) that requires you to hibernate more than staying outdoors due to cold weather, you will desperately be waiting for summers. Summers are that time of the year when you can easily flaunt your beautiful body and skin. Imagine those beautiful summer dresses that you have been waiting to show-off!



Although summers bring bright, warmer and longer days, they can even create a disaster on your skin. It is imperative for you to follow a stringent skincare routine regularly in order to keep your skin healthy and flawless.

Let’s discuss some of the most effective home-based tips to help you keep your skin healthy!

1. Keep Yourself Hydrated
You can never go wrong with this one. Water is irrefutably the best way to keep your body hydrated, which is pivotal especially during summers. Water plays a significant role in flushing out all the wasteful toxins from the body, thereby giving your skin a phenomenal glow. It is a good idea to consistently drink water, fresh juices, coconut water, buttermilk or green tea. Green tea is rich in antioxidants assists in eradicating dead skin cells. In addition, green tea is also known to possess anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties in abundance that helps in shielding the skin against varied skin related infections.
Make sure that you drink plenty of water for a glowing and healthier skin.

2. Always Apply A Homemade Sunscreen
The skincare market is flooded with infinite kinds of sunscreen lotions; however, one should definitely try making a sunscreen at home as that gives you complete control of the composition of your sunscreen. Besides, even the recipe of making the sunscreen is simple and easy.

The objective of wearing sunscreen is to protect your skin from harmful UV rays radiated by the strong summery sun. Your skin is likely to display signs of premature aging, if you avoid wearing the sunscreen.

3. Use A Loofah While In The Shower
Some of us avoid using a loofah in our shower as it produces a tingling sensation on the skin. It is, however, strongly advisable to use the loofah in summers to keep scaly skin under control. All you need to do is gently scrub the loofah on the skin in circular motion. That way, it will help to easily flush out dead skin cells. You can also add a few drops of an alpha-hydroxy product on loofah before you start the scrubbing process, this will give you a smoother skin.

4. Homemade Mask For Tan Removal
Summers ensure that your skin becomes tanned, and, therefore, you need to protect your skin from tanning. If the skin has already become tanned, then there are ways to remove the tan. For instance, you can apply a balanced mixture of honey and lemon juice on your face, and keep the mixture for at least 20 minutes. This will undoubtedly help to remove your tan and also make your skin glow.

5. Exercise Daily
Exercise is profoundly significant to attain a glowing skin. Of course, we are not talking about strenuous physical activities here. Instead, simple workouts will do just fine in order to keep your skin fresh and healthy. Walking too helps in increasing the blood circulation of the body that results in a glowing skin.

The health of your skin is completely in your hands. Trying these home based techniques will prove incredibly beneficial for your skin. However, if you are not averse to skin products then in addition to employing these home based tips, you should also consider anti aging serum. Many dermatologists advise to use anti aging serum by Dermology or Baebody Retinol Serum in order to keep premature signs of aging at bay especially in summers!

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead.
