The extreme heat can increase the production of sebum in your skin which clogs the pores. Since oil and sweating include bacteria, it results in acne and pimples. Therefore, it is important to wash your face with a cleanser that suits your face. Regularly wash your face after short intervals to prevent oil from clogging your skin and causing breakouts. Washing your face will also keep it hydrated.

For face wash, always go for mild and alcohol-free cleaners that can clean the dirt and oil from the skin without harming it.

Add Toner to your Skincare Routine

The UV Rays from the sun are at their peak in summer. They can damage the skin and cause severe tanning.

Besides applying it once in the morning, it is vital to reapply sun protection every two hours.

Never forget to wear sunblock even if you are staying at home. There are many options for sunblocks in Pakistan. You can choose one according to your skin type. Oily skin people can choose gel-based sunblocks. Moreover, there are also tinted sunblocks that can work as your basic makeup base. You should not only apply it on your face but remember your lips, neck, hands and feet.

Avoid Makeup

Makeup is an additional layer on your skin which can penetrate your pores and clog them. It does not let your skin breathe so try to avoid makeup during summer and let your skin stay bare. Leave your makeup in summer to give time for your skin to heal as fresh and younger-looking skin will give your confidence.

If you struggle with blemishes and uneven skin tone, you can opt for a good tinted sunblock which will act as a foundation for you. So, a moisturizer, sunscreen, and a nice tint for your lips or a lip balm can do just fine to make you look just fine and give your skin time to heal. Even if you are doing makeup, invest in products that have SPF and have a light and non-oily formula.

Keep Your Skin Hydrated

To avoid summer scrapping hydration from your skin, add hydrating facial mists that you can keep with your 24/7. They can bring a fresh glow to your skin and avoid dullness, stretch, and dryness. Moreover, you can also use hydrating face masks.

Drink More Water and Add Greens to your Diet

Your skincare routine in summer is not only limited to applying things externally on your skin. Because they can hardly bring any change when your body is not ready to change from the inside. So, increase your water intake to at least 8 glasses a day which refreshes your skin and brings a radiant glow. You can also include fresh juices in your diet to increase your liquid intake.

Also, cut down any fatty meals from your diet and switch to healthy food like fruits and vegetables. Eat salads including cucumber and lettuce.
