Sun exposure and excessive
heat in summer causes more sweating, skin burns, inflammation, tanning and
sebum secretion. This in turn will induce acne due to deposition of excess
sebum on skin, blocking of skin pores, adhesion of acne causing microbes.
Follow the tips to protect
your skin this summer:
- Cover
your skin as much as possible
- Use
umbrella and sunglasses that protect against UV rays.
- Wear
cotton dress and avoid tight dresses
- Reduce
sun exposure during the times when the sun is at its strongest
- Select
your sunscreen carefully. Choose a non-comedogenic, water-based, non-oily
quality sun screeners
Apart from these, to keep acne away this
summer, follow the below mentioned tips:
Maintain a
healthy skin care regimen!
·
Cleanse
your skin twice a day (morning and night) with cold water using a cleanser that
is gentle and suited to your skin type.
·
Avoid rubbing your skin when cleansing and gently tap it dry with a soft towel.
- Drink lots of water to keep
your skin well-hydrated and healthy.
- Eat lots of fresh fruits and
vegetables in the form of salads and fresh juices( Ideally without sugar)
- Avoid eating oily and sugary
foods which may cause build up of sebum in the skin
Don’t prick
your pimple!
·
Pimples
and blackheads shouldn’t be pricked, scratched or pierced. Popping a pimple
leads to inflammation and the spread of germs on neighbouring skin.
·
Moreover,
pricking pimples increases the risk of scarring.
