Drink lots of water:
Your body sweats more during summer. So, to keep your body hydrated, drink as much liquid as possible. Always carry a water bottle with you wherever you go. You can also opt for fresh juice or lime water.
Use sunscreen:
To keep your skin protected from the harmful UV rays, use a sunscreen lotion or spray generously all over your body. Do not step out in the sun without applying sunscreen. Also, make sure that you apply it on your skin a littler earlier, say 20 minutes, before stepping out. If you have oily skin then you should opt for a sunscreen gel or spray so that your skin will not appear oily. If you have dry skin, then your should opt for sunscreen lotion or cream to keep your skin moisturised and at the same time protect it from the harmful UV rays.
Protect your lips:
Your lips will become dry very often in summer just like the winters. So, make sure that you not only keep your skin moisturised but also apply a nourishing Sun Protection Factor (SPF)-enhanced lip balm on your lips regularly to keep them moisturised.
Protect your hands:
If you use hand cream to keep your hands soft and supple, opt for one with a broad SPF since our hands tend to get tanned the most during summer. It will not only keep your hands moisturised but will also protect them from sun damage.
Use beauty products that contains SPF:
Whether you use a moisturiser or compact powder throughout the day, make sure that it contains SPF.
Wear a hat while travelling:
Opt for a wide-brim hat for traveling. Not only will it keep the sun off from your face and head but it will also be your stylish accessory for your summer outings.
Wear sunglasses when you go outdoors:
While taking care of the rest of your body, you can’t turn a blind eye on your eyes, which needs maximum protection during summer. Always wear sunglasses when you go outdoors. So this is the perfect season to flaunt your glares, shades, reflectors, and aviators.
