With all things sweaty and dusty, the summer also brings with it a fair share of skin problems like rashes, acne and breakouts. Here's everything to help you take care of your skin this summer.
Acne is a skin problem that involves the oil glands at the base of hair follicles. The cause of acne could be hormonal and is common during puberty. But in many cases bacterial infection can be a cause for acne. During summers breakouts are a common scenario.
Many people tend to apply tonnes of sunscreen or other products which is often comedogenic and oily, which ends up clogging the skin pores and breeding grounds for the bacteria to cause acne. In case of people having oily skin, too much sebum and dead skin cells clog the follicles, they become irritated and inflamed, resulting in acne, whiteheads, blackheads and other lesions.
You have to be an ardent follower of a cleansing routine to banish acne during summers. Use mild, soap free face wash that has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial property of neem to control excess oil and sebum, acne, blemishes and that will even out your skin tone. Wash your face at least twice daily for best result.
You can also try using multani mitti face packs, that has a cooling effect and controls excessive heat; hyper pigmentation; cleanses deposits of dust, oil, dead cells & environmental pollutants. In India it is being used for centuries to treat several skin related problems and getting a clean and clear skin free from blemishes, black spots and acne. It absorbs impurities like excess oil, sweat, and dirt from the face providing a soft, supple, and youthful look.
Use a gentle toner to cleanse the skin and open clogged pores. This will help the skin to breathe and will provide clean and clear skin. Rose water is specially formulated to refresh, soften and revitalise the dull skin.
Moisturising your skin in summer is as important as moisturising it in winter. Therefore, choosing the right moisturiser is very important. Apply Aloe vera gel, that will keep your skin hydrated, non-greasy and oil free.
