Protect Your Skin

The harshness of summer and winter can take their toll on our skin's condition. To take care of your skin all year long in all seasons, use these easy tips to protect your skin inside and outside of your body.

Inside:

Drink water constantly all through the day - a minimum of two liters or eight glasses. In hot weather, you may probably need more as your body will use extra water to control your body temperature.

In case you find it difficult to drink water all through the day, increase your 'high water' food consumption - salads, fruit, and vegetables.

Drinks such as alcohol, coffee, and traditional tea have a dehydrating impact on the body. Though they're high in water content, the opposite ingredients inside these drinks require using water to metabolize. The overall impact is one of dehydrating, rather than hydrating the body.

Outside:

Develop a daily skin routine where you cleanse, tone and moisturize your pores and skin each morning and evening to maintain it in peak condition. Even when you aren't into this routine, it's never too late and after a few weeks, it's probably you'll be more than happy with the outcomes.

Do not take possibilities - burnt skin is damaged skin. Throughout the summer season, get into the habit of making use of a high SPF sunscreen regularly.

Reapply sunscreen before and after swimming, and do not forget that ultraviolet rays can reach you on cloudy days and when you are in the shade.

Between 11 am and 3 pm take additional care and keep inside or within the shade to keep away from the strongest sun of the day.

Spritz your face frequently all through the day.

Select loose, cotton, silk or linen clothes which allow perspiration to evaporate naturally.

Put on a floppy hat to maintain the heat off your head.

End the day with a liberal application of aftersun cream - soothing aloe vera is best.
