Skin Care Routine in Summer

Summer is almost here! But before you prepare for the beach and invest in that swimsuit that you have been looking for for months now, you need to make sure that your skin looked smooth, stain-free and prepared for the summer.

Summer is the time of year when you'll want to be in a tank top and a pair of shorts all day long because of the rise in temperatures. You sweat a lot and your skin tends to dry in the summer so be sure to moisturize well to keep it plump, fresh and shiny. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water every day and consume foods with high water content, such as fruits and vegetables.

One of the most common misconceptions is the skin produces more oil as the temperature rises, is that there is no need to use a moisturizer during the summer season. In fact, to help rehydrate the skin, you will need a good light moisturizer to help seal the skin from the natural moisture. Ask skin specialist in Pune about nutritional masks and moisturizers fortified with special ingredients with antioxidant and enhancer properties Of Collagen, Gel.

To keep your skin healthy and young looking, regular exfoliation should be part of your skin care regimen. The exfoliation will help improve the texture of the skin by gently peeling the outermost layer which is mostly rough skin, revealing the healthier skin underneath. It can also help keep your face and body free from acne too, so you can confidently show off your skin and look good in summer. However, skin doctors in Pune suggest that the exfoliation should be done with utmost care and should not in any way irritate the skin or damage its integrity.

Teen Skin Care Tips to Stop Acne Problems

Sometimes it may seem that your skin is impossible to handle, especially when you wake up and find a huge stain on your face. The good news is that there are ways to prevent and treat common skin problems if you know what to do.

A pimple starts when the pores in the skin get stuck with a type of oil called sebum, which normally lubricates the skin and hair. Acne is common during puberty when hormones go into overdrive, causing the skin to overproduce sebum. Because many oil-producing glands are on the forehead, nose and chin, it is where the pimples are most likely to appear. Follow the tips or find acne treatments in Pune.

Here are some tips to help prevent outbreaks and clear them as fast as possible.

• Wash your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people with acne. Gently massage your face with circular motions. Do not rub. Excessive washing and washing can cause skin irritation. After cleansing, apply an over-the-counter lotion containing benzoyl peroxide.
• Do not squeeze pimples. It's tempting, but here's why you should not. Pimples can push more infected material into the skin, which leads to more swelling and redness and even scarring. If you notice a pimple coming before a large event, such as prom, your dermatologist can often treat for you with less risk of scarring or infection.
• If you have acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothing. They do not allow the skin to breathe and can cause irritation. Scarves, ribbons and caps can pick up dirt and oil, too.
• Take off your makeup before going to bed. When buying makeup, be sure to choose brands that say "non-comedogenic" on the label. Throw away the old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it.
• Keep hair clean and off your face to prevent extra dirt and oil from clogging your pores.
• Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem that a tan masks the acne, but it is only temporary. A tan can make your acne worse, not improve it. Tanning also causes skin damage that will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer. And avoid tanning beds altogether.
• Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, even if it is cloudy or you do not plan to spend a lot of time outdoors. If you sweat a lot or swim, reapply sunscreen every 1½ to 2 hours (even if the bottle says the sunscreen is waterproof).
• Choose a sun block that blocks UVA and UVB rays. Look for the words "broad spectrum protection" or UVA protection in addition to the SPF of 15 or more. Select a sunscreen that says "nonacnegenic" or "noncomedogenic" on the label to help keep the pores clear.
