SUMMER BEAUTY SECRETS

Summer season is right around the corner and with it is a need for quick change in skin and hair care. From choosing the right sunscreen to opting for a multi-tasking beauty product here are a few tips to get your skin and hair ready for the sweltering summer heat

Choose the right sunscreen

Whether it’s summer or any other season sunscreen is a go to product that cannot be compromised. But choosing the right sunscreen between SPF 40 or 50 or 90 can be a bit confusing. More so if you have oil or dry or sensitive skin it’s hard to find which one to use as just like anything else sunscreen is not a one size fits all.  SPF 30 is usually considered suitable if you spend most of your time indoor, however opt for higher ones if you do have adequate sun exposure and move around a lot outside. When it comes to oily skin gel-based sunscreens work best whereas hydrating and mineral sunscreens are better for dry skin.

Skin Deep Beauty

Keeping your skin protected not just from the outside but also from the inside is important. While staying hydrated with lots of water is one way, the other way is to eat water rich fruits and vegetables that have a cooling and hydrating effect on the body. Fruits and veggies like watermelon, cucumber, lettuce, celery, pineapple, spinach are a few of many hydrating foods to incorporate in your diet this summer. Packed with necessary vitamins, minerals and water these fruits and veggies are sure to boost not just your skin and but also body immunity too.

Multi-tasking products

Multi tasking or (popular known as) hybrid beauty and skincare products have become quite the trend these days. It’s as simple as one product working on multiple things like hydrating, priming, correcting and protecting the skin. Opting for products like foundations or serums that include SPF protection or color tinted lip balms with the same sun protection are a great way to get the best out of both worlds for your skin and hair. These products cut out the need to apply layers of different things leaving your skin or hair not feeling heavy or greasy while also giving the benefit of all them combined in one.

Also it’s important to carry a pair of sunglasses, a scarf or a UV blocking umbrella when stepping outdoors for that added protection. But most importantly drink lots of water to beat the summer heat and have healthy beautiful skin from inside out.

Tip: A word of caution though, for those who suffer from skin conditions or allergies it’s always better to consult a dermatologist for the best summer protection and beauty for your skin.
