Dry skin in summers is not unheard of for people who already have dryness-prone skin. It becomes important to take care of one’s skin during these arid months. However, when we think of skincare, it is always the face, are we forgetting our skin everywhere else? Usually, yes. People find it difficult to understand what they have to do for their arms, legs and body. It is always good to take preventative measures before your skin feels the wrath of such drying times. Here is an easy routine to keep your skin feeling happy and healthy all summer!
AM routine
1. Cleanse
Cleansing is one of the most important steps of any routine. It helps remove all
the dirt, grime, or piling residue on the skin. It also helps clean out the dirt clogged in our pores. It is important to use a non-stripping product to cleanse your body as it does not completely dry out your skin. For this, you can use the Vedaearth Nourishing body wash infused with Chamomile and Frankincense. This combination nourishes your skin from deep within and helps regenerate dull skin to make it healthy and supple. It’s the perfect body wash for this Summer, as the heat and sweat can easily dry out your skin.
2. Moisturize
Using a moisturizer right after a shower is extremely important because it restores the moisture barrier lost during cleansing. It's crucial to apply nourishing cosmetics throughout the summer since the hot & dry weather can strip your skin off of its natural oils, leaving it dry, dull, and vulnerable to damage. The UV radiation from the sun can also harm the skin, resulting in sunburn, early ageing, and even skin cancer. Your skin can be moisturized, protected, and healthy with nourishing products.
Many traditional moisturizers or oils are very thick and can clog your pores.
Using light moisturizers which are hydrating and don’t feel too heavy on the skin are very important to keep your skin feeling moisturized and soft.
3. Protect from the sun
Yes! Even your body needs sunscreen and it is equally important. Using a 50++
SPF sunscreen is important to keep your skin protected from the harsh sun. Reapply as needed through the day and ensure that you are well protected from the sun.
Wear loose clothing during the day and try to avoid going in the harsh heat. You
can also use sun hats, kaftans, or big beach umbrellas to stay in shade while enjoying a hot day out!
PM routine
1. Cleanse or exfoliate
Regular exfoliation helps to eliminate dead skin cells, clear clogged pores, and
improve the smoothness and brightness of your skin. This makes it easier for your skin to absorb any products applied on top, which results in skin that looks healthier.
However, one must remember to not exfoliate daily but twice a week at
maximum. Exfoliating daily can lead to skin drying out completely and becoming
inflamed. Therefore, exfoliating mindfully is important to keep your skin healthy.
2. Deep nourishment
After a good round of cleansing and exfoliation, you should remember to always
moisturize! Use a thick moisturizer at night to lock in all the hydration your skin can get. Since you will not be exposed to the sun, sun damage will be minimal and negligible and thus hydration will be much easier.
Nourishment during summers is very important because summers can get very dry. Incorporating our Nourishing body wash as a cleanser before you lather a generous amount of moisturizer is a must! This summer, focus on staying hydrated by adding these changes to your daily morning and night routine!
