The skin is the first one to feel the effects of summer heat, resulting in issues such as bite of sun, sun burns, skin irritation, rashes, and eruptions. According to specialists, there are various Skincare routine that can help you save your skin.
What Effect Does Summer Have on Your Skin? what are the remedies to your skincare routine?
As the weather warms and humidity rises, your skin’s oil glands begin to produce excessive sebum (natural oil). The oil released becomes stuck on the top layer of skin, causing stickiness, greasy, and plugged pores.
Acne outbreaks are the most prevalent summertime concern. People with oily skin are more vulnerable to it because germs and oils in their skin interact with sweat, resulting in breakouts and acne.
Melanin production ramps up when your body is exposed to damaging UV rays in needed to shield your damaged skin. Melanin is a photoprotective pigment. Its overabundance leads in darker, browned skin. Other issues may include itchy skin, prickly heat, sunburn, and rash as a result of UV sensitivity.
Here is the list of 5 amazing remedies to your skincare routine this summer
1.Stay hydrated
No better way to stay hydrated than by keeping a water bottle on you!. Staying hydrated is the key to summer beauty (and beauty in general), so a less-than-ideal water bottle just won’t cut it. Find a water bottle that works for you, and don’t get caught without it!
2.Cucumber and sugar mask
