Summer is a time to relax and have fun! However, with the sun and rising temperature your skin and hair has to payhigh price. Summer also brings along a plethora of problems like rashes, acne back, tanning, skin infections and sunburn. Dr. Sangeeta Amladi, Head Medical Services, Kaya Skin Clinic recommends a few tips for a carefree and skin friendly summer.
Screen the sunSmall amounts of sun is beneficial for the skin and essential for production of vitamin D. However, prolonged exposure to solar UV radiation may have a hazardous impact on the skin. If you are going to be out in the sun for a long time you need to wear a sunscreen or sunblock. Not all sunscreens are made alike – some provide a physical barrier (minerals) while others provide a chemical barrier that absorbs ultraviolet rays. Zero down on a sunscreen that best meets your requirements and contains sun protection factor (SPF). SPF 30 is best recommended for Indian skin types. Apply sun screen 20 to 30 minutes before stepping out and ensure you wear sunscreen every day, even when you stay indoors
Follow the essential routine: From dry air-conditioned homes to walks in the steamy & sweaty weather outside, one needs to pay special attention to summer skincare. Follow the Cleansing, Toning and moisturizing ritual twice a day for best results. Summers are most nightmarish time for skin issues specially acne. To keep your skin acne-free use a Kaya Purifying Cleanser which contains salicylic acid and helps reduce acne and prevent future breakouts. Follow this up with Kaya Purifying Nourisher enriched with aloe vera, almond oil and rose extracts this reduces irritation and nourishes your skin. If you need a quick solution use the Kaya Purifying Spot Corrector – This dries up blemishes overnight, calms inflammation while deeply exfoliating the skin.

Exfoliate: Incorporating exfoliation into your skin care regime is a must to avoid dull skin! Exfoliants remove old, dry, dead skin cells, toxins and other deposits and allow new skin cells to surface. Scrub your elbows and knees at least twice a week to get rid of dead tissues. Rub a slice of lemon with sugar every alternate day to keep them clean and to remove tan.
Hair Woes: Since hair tends to be moisture-deprived during summers, overuse of any kind of chemical and hair styling tool should be avoided. Shampooing often results in loss of shine and moisture. Consider switching to a gentle shampoo and use a deep conditioner to replenish the loss of moisture. Massage your hair with a mixture of coconut oil, castor and olive oil regularly to keep your hair nourished. And if you are one of them who are open to homemade remedies, whisk 2 egg yolks with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and apply this mask on the bottom 2/3rds of your hair. Wash off after 15 minutes.

Happy Feet: During summers our feet become the target of a variety of potential foot maladies including eczema, fungal infections, and socially embarrassing "smelly feet”. Start with wearing an open sandal in the summer to keep your feet dry and give them a chance to "breathe". Your feet are subject to sunburn just like the rest of your body. Use sunscreen during the day and during the evenings apply a lightweight moisturizer. A foot powder is a must as it helps to soak up excessive moisture that can breed fungi and bacteria. Head for a pedicure once every week. This will keep your foot clean. Trim your toe nails to avoid dirt and dust from accumulating under your toe nails.
Maintain a healthy diet: Make fruits your best friends this summer. With summers in full swing, it is advised that apart from drinking lots of water, a special summer diet consisting of light and healthy food would ensure a cool mind and body. To keep your skin hydrated, eat lot of fresh fruits and green vegetables. Include fruits and vegetables like bitter gourd, spinach, cucumber, watermelons, oranges, cherries, plums and lychee to your diet. They are highly nutritious with an abundant supply of fiber, vitamins, anti-oxidants and minerals.
Be Active: Summer is a great time to get rid of the extra flab gained during the winter months. Don't let hot summer temperatures derail your fitness routine. Ensure you keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids (preferably water) before, during and after physical activity. Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages they generally cause dehydration. Try to work out during the cooler parts of the day, preferably when the sun's radiation is minimal — early in the morning or early in the evening are best suited for exercise. Also, you can split-up your workout to avoid over exertion. If you're set on getting a 30-minute workout, move with less intensity or do in intervals.
Keep it stylish: During summer, you should wear light coloured clothes. White is perfect for the season. Stack-up with clothes made of cotton or khadi material. These fabrics are very light, cooler as they absorb sweat and comfortable to wear. Wear long sleeve shirt during summer to keep the sun off your skin. Pull-up your hair into an untidy bun and keep accessorizes to basic and sport the chic look this summer.
Relax, Rejuvenate and fall in love with you skin this summer!!
