As the temperatures rise and summer knocks on the door with its heat, dust, and humidity, our skin often bears the brunt. But worry not — with a few simple swaps and skin-friendly habits, you can glow your way through the season naturally!
🌞 First Rule of Summer: Sunscreen, Always!
Before you step out into the blazing sun, make sunscreen your best friend. Choose one with SPF 30 or higher — SPF 50 if you’re spending long hours outdoors. Reapply every 2–3 hours and don’t forget areas like your neck, ears, and feet!
🧼 Gentle Cleanse, Organic Care
Heat and sweat can clog pores. So, cleanse your skin twice daily with a gentle face wash. Use a natural exfoliating scrub twice a week to slough off dead skin. Follow up with a cooling organic face mask — watermelon juice or multani mitti with rose water can do wonders.
🧃 Drink Your Glow
In summer, your skin reflects what you eat — or in this case, drink. Keep these glow-boosting juices in your fridge:
-
Pomegranate Juice: Rich in Vitamin C and collagen-boosting powers.
-
Cranberry Juice: Protects from sun-induced damage.
-
Orange Juice: Keeps skin hydrated and improves texture.
-
Aloe Vera Juice: Detoxifies and hydrates from within.
-
Beetroot-Carrot Juice: Great for blood purification and skin brightness.
-
Acai Berry Juice: A powerful antioxidant that revives dull skin.
-
Watermelon Juice: Packed with electrolytes that plump and hydrate the skin.
Pro Tip: Drink juice immediately after extraction for maximum benefit!
🥗 Salad Your Way to Radiance
Add a dash of carrots, beetroot, spinach, and cucumbers to your daily plate. These antioxidant-rich veggies boost blood circulation and keep your skin youthful and fresh.
🍉 Fruit Facials: Summer’s Sweet Secret
Summer fruits aren’t just delicious — they double up as beauty heroes!
-
Mango Mask: Mash ripe mango and apply for 10 minutes to hydrate and brighten.
-
Coconut Cream Facial: Use fresh coconut water and its inner cream for a deep-hydration DIY facial.
-
Watermelon Juice Mask: Mix with herbal powder to soothe and cool sun-exposed skin.
-
Rice Water Splash: Rinse your face with cooled rice water for polished, smooth skin.
💆♀️ Hair Love: The Curd Trick
Struggling with frizz and sweaty scalp? Apply fresh curd to your scalp and hair for 10 minutes before washing. It calms the scalp, removes buildup, and makes your strands softer and shinier. Try this 2–3 times a week.
