by Vedaearth Ayurvedic Aromatherapy Ayurvedic Aromatherapy Products

Harsh sun coupled with exposure to pollution can wreak havoc to the skin’s health. Lack of humidity, UV radiation and dryness due to excessive heat are among the few reasons why skin tends to lose its’ lustre during summer. Improper care for the skin during this season can lead to oily skin, acne break outs, and pigmentation; which is why it is important to incorporate simple skin care routines to keep the skin healthy and supple during these hot summer months.

Summer sun can be harsh on the skin. Indulging in a good diet, auyrvedic spa treatments, and natural face packs can help keep skin problems at bay during the hot months.

Skin care begins with eating the right things. Drinking 8 glasses of water helps keep the body and skin well hydrated. During hot summer days, the body tends to lose water via sweating and Transepidermal Water Loss. Drinking enough water and liquids like fruit juices can help replenish lost moisture.

Including fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet can keep the skin well nourished, owing to the constant supply of nutrients to the body. Increasing food sources that are rich in selenium, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and zinc can help shield the body from harmful UV rays.

Manging the skin’s pH levels is extremely important. An imbalance in the skin’s pH levels can leave the skin vulnerable to UV damage and bacterial infections. Opting for neutral soaps and gels over alkaline skin care products can help replenish the natural acidic mantle on the skin, thus keeping the skin well protected.

Using a mild acidic toner or natural rose toner after a bath will help keep the skin well hydrated, and will strengthen the acidic mantle as well. Dry skin, especially in scratching heat can strip away more moisture, resulting in premature wrinkles and sun spots on the skin. Pampering the skin with anti-ageing face packs regularly can help mitigate the ageing effects of summer heat.

Exfoliating about twice a week is important as it helps strip away the surface build up such as dead cells and dirt. This will prevent unsavoury grime from clogging up the pores, which might result in acne. A holistic ayurvedic spa visit can help the skin revive itself even better.

Using all natural face packs made of fresh fruits can help keep the skin well hydrated and oxygenated. Using Vedaearth’s cleansing facial oil, an all vegan, natural oil, can also help cleanse clogged pores and reduce black heads.
