Here are 5 tips to improve your skincare routine to beat the summer heat!

1. Face cleanser and sunscreen

The simplest way to keep yourself in sync with the season is to feel fresh every day. To do so, shield your skin from the harsh UV rays by cleansing your face twice daily with a face cleanser that is hypoallergenic, free of smell, chemicals or alcohol, and has a non-foaming formula. This will protect your skin from damaging UV rays. Niacinamide, commonly known as a vitamin B3-infused cleanser, is the perfect skincare booster since it efficiently eliminates excess oil and cleans pores, leaving the face looking refreshed.

2. Exfoliate your skin

Clean skin is the result of timely exfoliation. Choose a scrub that reduces inflammation, promotes suppleness, and gently eliminates dead skin. Regular exfoliation improves skin texture, delays the onset of wrinkles, and keeps skin looking young and vibrant while lowering the risk of acne or outbreaks.

 

3. Hydration is the key

Scorching heat causes excessive sweating, making the body lose many vital nutrients and minerals. This loss is supplemented by giving your skin dose of hydration at equal intervals. While it is well known that getting eight hours of sleep each night and drinking three litres of water each day is optimal for maintaining healthy skin and hair, it is also crucial to protect the skin externally. Hyaluronic acid-based day cream, which is renowned for its capacity to moisturise skin, works wonders when your skin feels dry and damaged. It is non-greasy, absorbs swiftly and moisturises for up to 12 hours.

4. Night repair formula

Night creams nourishes, improves skin’s natural elasticity and enhances the nightly repair cycle to rejuvenate and energise skin while sleeping. It can also brighten skin tone and wakes you up fresh and glowing.
