Makeup application in summers can be tricky, especially when your skin feels like it’s about to peel off if you add another layer to it. It’s not just the sun and the extreme heat outside. Studies show that increased exposure to air conditioners can also make your skin feel dehydrated.
Don’t start panicking yet. The secret to smooth, revitalised skin in summer is just one- Hydration and Moisturisation. The goal is to find the perfect balance between the two. While drinking more water is the ideal solution to everything (At least according to our mothers), there are a few summer skincare tips to get that ideal breezy skin:
1. Moisturise. Moisturise. Moisturise
We cannot emphasise this enough. While finding the right products which suit your skin is tricky, you can never go wrong with serums. The new Spawake Brightening Solution Triple Care Serum has a blend of three vitamins along with exotic sea minerals like Laminaria Japonica Extract & sea salt to revitalise and moisturise your skin.
2. Eat water-rich foods
Any fruit with Vitamin C is great for skin hydration. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade and hydrate yourself. A few easily available hydrating food items are cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, watermelons, peaches, spinach and melons. Try to include these in your diet.
3. Use a moisturiser with SPF
One must-have item in your skincare routine for summer is a moisturiser. The main aim of a moisturiser isn’t adding, but locking the moisture in your skin so that it stays rejuvenated. With SPF 25/PA++ the new Spawake Milky Smooth Day Moisturiser not only deeply nourishes your skin but also protects it from UV rays while preventing dark spots and dullness.
4. Hydrate overnight with a night cream
Adding a thick layer of moisture to your skin before sleeping has multiple benefits. It locks in the moisture, repairs & recovers damaged skin, and refreshes your skin as well as your mind. The new Spawake Revitalising Night Cream gives your skin 8 hours of continuous moisture. The result is plump, glowing skin in the morning!
To summarise, your skin needs to be hydrated inside out, and the moisture needs to be locked in using a moisturiser. Certain lifestyle changes can go a long way in keeping your skin hydrated all summer long, such as reducing caffeine intake, skipping hot water baths and drinking at least 2-3 litres of water.
Add these to your summer skincare routine, and your skin will truly thank you.
