7 Best Summer Skin Care Tips for Glowing skin

Hello Lovely Peeps,Hope you are doing great.Summer has already started and we are so very excited that we can flaunt our sleeveless dress and can roam around in our shorts, tank top and those flip flops.But everything comes at a price and in summer our skin pays the price .

But wait before this hot air,humidity and pollution takes a toll on your skin resulting in dry and dull complexion,let me share few  easy summer skin care tips which I follow to protect my skin.

Do follow these summer skin care tips and  flaunt your glowing skin like never before even during the scorching summer season.

Let’s get started with summer skin care tips 🙂

1 . Water Water and Water !!!

Now this is so obvious to start with water while listing down  our summer skin care tips.As the mercury rises we tend to sweat more and in turn we  lose more water from our body

So It becomes utmost important to replenish the lost moisture.Drink at least 10 glasses of water a day .It not only keeps your body hydrated but also flushes out all the toxins from the body and thus results in clear and glowing complexion.

Few Simple tips to increase your water intake :

• Carry a water bottle everywhere with you
• Eat lots of watermelon as it’s 91 % water.
• Include cucumber in your daily diet as its 95 % water
• Eat raw tomato ,tomato is 92% water
• Drink Coconut water whenever possible
• Drink lots of fruit juices

2 . Wash Your Face Twice Daily

Wash your face everyday twice daily with a cleanser or face wash to keep it clean and dirt free.If you feel you can wash with plain water other times.Make sure to choose your face wash or cleanser according to your skin type to suit you best.

If you want a homemade cleanser you can simply mix some gram flour in plain water and apply on your face.Let it be there for 5 minutes then rub it and rinse.You can use milk or curd instead of water if you have dry skin.And trust me gram floor works best to keep your skin clear and acne free.

3 . Make Sunscreen Your Best Friend

Summer is the time when you should never ever step out without slathering your sunscreen as It’s always better to be cautious then treating those stubborn sun tans after getting burnt.UV rays will not only cause sun tan rather it can cause skin cancer as well So guys please please remember to apply your sunscreen  at least 20 minutes before heading out into sun.

4 . Exfoliate !!!

Exfoliation is the key to your beauty and its important to include it in our summer skin care tips.It removes dead cells from the skin , makes our skin skin smooth, fresh and makes it easy for other products to work effectively on skin.

Note : 

• Always choose a mild scrub for your face.
• Be gentle while you are exfoliating your face
• Do not overdo it,twice in a week is sufficient
• Always apply sunscreen after exfoliation because new skin is more prone to sun damage
• Do not exfoliate if you had a facial peel recently

5. Do Not Miss Toners 

Most of us tends to forget about T in the CTM that is toning part.Even I used to skip it untill I started The Mirror Addiction.But let me tell you ,now I just swear by toners.Toners helps to maintain the PH balance of our skin.They tightens the skin and save our pores from getting clogged.

Not only that on a hot ,humid and tiring day nothing can be better than the swipe of a chilled cotton pad drenched in the toner.Trust me it takes all the stress away and makes me feel so refreshed.It’s my everyday routine after coming back from office.

Personally I prefer natural toners like rose water toner or green tea toner.But you can use any of your favorite toner.But make sure to use this .

6 . Make Use of Ice

No Summer skin care tips can be complete without including ice .Ice cubes has numerous beauty benefits.They can soothe redness and inflammation of your skin .Simply rub an ice cube on your face and you are done.

You can use them to treat the effect of sunburn as well.I usually use it in the morning before my makeup and after coming back from office in the evening.It instantly brightens my face and gives an amazing freshness to skin.

7 . Apply Anti Tan Face Pack

No matter how much we care for our skin but still we end up with some sun tan.To get rid rid of that use an anti suntan face pack twice a week.You can get an anti suntan face pack available in market or  you can make your own.I prefer to make my own.

Things you will need

• 1 table spoon gram floor
• 1 table spoon orange peel powder
• 1 table spoon curd
• A pinch of turmeric

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and apply on your face and neck.You can apply on other affected areas as well.let it stay there for 15 minutes.Rinse with plain water.Towel dry your face and apply your toner and moisturizer.
