Is your skin ready for the Harsh Summer?



Juices and ice-creams have replaced hot beverages and woolens and jackets have made way for cotton clothes and light fabrics like linen. Summer has finally arrived and it has paved way for a whole lot of skin problems. From acne to breakouts and what not, your skin just doesn’t listen to you. Add to it the sweltering heat and your oily skin is bound to get sticky and irritating. So what do you do to make your skin summer ready?

Our experts from Dr. Kartik’s slimming center have come up with a dozen ways to help you protect your skin from the summer heat.

Read on to find out.


1. Apply sunscreen

The most common advice you might be getting during summers obviously includes lathering sunscreen on all the exposed parts of your body. With summers already here, make sunscreen a part of your daily routine. They protect your skin from sun’s harmful ultra-violet radiations and prevent sunburn and rashes. In addition to this, sunscreens protect you from tanning, a problem, very common when you stay out for longer hours.
Our dermatologists recommend using a gel-based sunscreen if you have an oily skin and matte-finish sunscreen lotion for dry skin.

2. Keep your skin hydrated

The harsh sun dehydrates your skin making it look dull and lifeless. Drink plenty of water, around 10-12 glasses a day to keep your skin hydrated. Eat fruits that have a greater percentage of water like water-melon and musk-melons. Fluids remove toxins from your body and give your skin a natural, ever-lasting glow.

3. Consume Vitamin C

Start Adding vitamin C to your diet for a healthy-looking, glowing skin. Include citrusy fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapes in your diet. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and they are known to prevent and treat UVA and UVB induced photodamage. For instant protection, apply some vitamin C mist or serum before going out in the sun.

4. Wear breathable fabrics

Ditch heavy fabrics like chiffon, nylon, silk and make way for breathable fabrics like light cotton and linen. Heavy fabrics and tight clothes can cause sweating and irritation making your skin itchy. Prolonged use of such fabrics in summer can lead to rashes and skin infections.

5. Use Aloe vera

Apply Aloe vera gel to soothe your skin from sunburn and rash. Aloe vera contains antioxidants that cool your skin and nourishes it. The healing properties of Aloe vera reduce skin inflammation and effectively heal chronic skin problems like acne and rash. It also works as a moisturizer and softens skin without clogging pores and hydrates the skin without leaving on a greasy film. Just take some aloe vera juice on your hands and rub it on your face and parts where your skin is broken and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Then wash your face with cold water to get glowing skin in minutes.

6. Eat light

Eating heavy food loaded with oil and calories can make you feel sluggish and bloated all the time. It also creates a havoc on your skin resulting in breakouts and acne. Keep away from sugary drinks that are loaded with calories. Include fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet particularly seasonal varieties to keep yourself hydrated.

7. Exfoliate

Last but not the least, exfoliate your skin twice a week with a good exfoliator to remove dead skin cells. It also helps to improve blood circulation. Exfoliating your skin at regular intervals allows it to absorb the moisturizing products better.
