Summer is here; while we all love the sun-kissed glow, the sweat, heat, and humidity can make things go south! However, do not worry; with a few tweaks, your skin will return to glowing again! Let us look at a few skincare tips for glowing skin in summer.

What are the 10 tips to get healthy, dewy skin?

Let us look at some tips for getting radiant summer skin:

1. Cleansing daily: A gentle cleanser can help to get rid of excessive oil, dirt, and grime. Cleansing can be done once in the morning, and at night, it should be done twice (double cleansing is recommended at night). 
2. Never forget your daily companion-Sunscreen: Sunscreen can protect your skin from UV rays and even from skin cancer! So, make sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 so that you can get protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Reapply every 2 hours to exposed parts of skin (hands, legs, neck, face, etc).
3. Keep your skin hydrated with both moisturizer and water: Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. Use a light-weight moisturizer to reduce skin dullness as well as dry skin patches. 
4. Avoid hot showers: Hot showers can dry out your skin. Avoid going to saunas or spas where you are exposed to hot water. Take cold or lukewarm showers to bring down your body temperature. 
5. Exfoliation is the need of the hour: Exfoliation can help get your body rid of dead skin cells. In case your skin is tanned or you have an uneven skin tone, exfoliation can help in evening out your skin tone.
6. Change your workout clothes: Working out during summer can result in the accumulation of dirt, dust, and sweat in clothes, which can be a breeding ground for bacteria to grow. Change into a fresh set of clothes once you are done with your workout. Our Sunkissed hybrid sunscreen has SPF of 50, which can be beneficial in dealing with harmful UV radiation.
7. Manage both sleep and stress: High stress can increase the risk of skin breakouts and promote skin dullness. Similarly, reduced sleep can lead to dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. Hence, aim for 7-8 hours of good quality sleep and practice yoga, meditation, or deep breathing techniques to lower stress levels.
8. A healthy diet is necessary: Limit consumption of sugary and processed foods/beverages, as it can increase the risk of acne breakouts. Consume whole fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts/seeds, and pulses for optimal skin health.
9. Go for minimal makeup: Heavy makeup coupled with sweat can block skin pores and increase the risk of breakouts or pimples. Hence, go for minimalistic, non-comedogenic makeup products.
10. Use a serum sheet mask: If your skin looks dull and tired, you can employ a vitamin C serum sheet mask to soothe your skin as well as to even out and brighten your complexion.
    

There you go! With a few tweaks, your skin would be back to glowing again. Just follow the above tips to get summer-ready, beautiful skin!
