Tips to keep your skin in summer

It is the summer season and this is the time when your skin suffers the most. Here are some tips to keep your skin looking fresh, even in summer. 

Mud packs work wonders: 

Multani mitti, or mud/clay packs are great coolants and help remove the tan on your skin too. Make a homemade face pack of Fuller's earth (multani mitti), lemon, curd and a little bit of water and apply on your skin. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash off with cold water. 

Stay hydrated: 

It is important to drink a lot of water. Dry skin in summer can lead to break outs. 

Protect yourself from the sun: Keep a sun block handy. Use a sunscreen which has an SPF of 30+ at least. 

Use an oil-free facewash: 

Avoid using soap on your face, as it tends to increase the oil, thereby clogging your pores. This can cause heat boils, pimples etc. Use an oil-free face wash to keep your skin from producing excess oil.
