Summer skin care
Summer skin care
- If you like the tanned look, remember to let the tan happen naturally and over a few days. Exposing yourself to the sun intensely for the sake of a tan can have adverse effects on your skin and make you prone to sunburn and wrinkles. Hence, a sunscreen with a decent SPF, at least 15, should be your best-friend for the summer, even if you want a tan.
- Water! This is crucial for those of you who love the sun and sand in summertime. At least 8 glasses of water are needed. If possible, carry around a bottle of water with you and remember to drink at least once every 30 min. Water not only helps you feel fresh, but it also prevents dehydration and will help wash out a lot of toxins.
- If you do get sunburned, apply aloe vera extract or lotions containing aloe vera. The effect of aloe vera will soothe your skin and will also help you heal faster. If you do plan to spend more time in the sun following sunburn, it may be wise to apply a cream containing zinc to help heal the sunburn overnight.
- The heat brings out fresh batches of bugs, especially in tropical climes like in India. Insect repellants are a must if you want to avoid looking like you have a localized attack of Chicken Pox.
- For a day at the beach, or if you plan to spend the whole day shopping, fill a misting bottle with a mixture of water and a little toner and spritz your body and neck for a quick cool off. Remember not to spray your eyes!
- Exfoliation is a must to clear away dead Cells that can otherwise clog up your pores and cause unsightly pimples that can spoil your summer look. Use a scrub that does not dry your skin or make your own; sugar mixed with a little olive oil is very natural and skin friendly.
- Feet need to look good in summer! They are more visible now than at any other time of the year. Scrub your feet with foot scrubs or make your own with some granular salt or sugar and olive oil. Rubbing this into your legs in a gentle upward motion will have dual effects of exfoliating dry skin and oil massaging your legs as well.
- Apply body oil or other light oils on heels at night, wrap in cotton gauze and leave it on overnight for soft and sexy feet.
- If your toenails have turned yellow, now would be good time to soak them in a basin with some mild bleach.
- On really hot days, you can use a hydrating toner instead of a moisturizer that feels heavy.
Summer hair care
Summer hair care
- If you want to have natural-looking highlights, just comb a little lemon juice through your hair if you plan on spending a few hours out in the sun. The sun will lighten those strands and you will have a subtle sun-streaked look without having to budget for the salon.
- Deep-conditioning is essential for hair at least once a week in summer. Hair tends to become dry, dull or brittle if it is exposed to frequent cycles of soaking and drying, such as if you sweat a lot or go swimming.
- If you like to spend most of summer in a pool, it may be wise to spritz on some leave-in conditioner to help avoid damage from chlorine and salt.
- Summer is the right time for that messy bun hairstyle. Just make sure that you apply a little shine serum to towel-dried hair before you put up your hair so that natural texture can be enhanced. This style is so comfy and will also have you feeling relaxed.
- A slick ponytail can accentuate your features while also getting annoying tendrils of hair out of your way. A side part can also work wonders and give you a changed look if done right. To prevent frizzy hair, use a leave-in conditioner or hair tonics that are specific for frizzy hair.
- If the ponytail is getting boring, try a French braid. It will look chic and will also prevent you looking bedraggled.

In this first step I bring forward the homemade skin peel. During this stage the dead cells on your face will be removed as a layer. This will promote new cells to form on the face. As it is natural and we are not using chemical peel there will not be any harm in it. The result will be moderate and it is adequate. So go for the tip "homemade skin peel". After doing this skin peel give an interval of minimum three days. For these days take care of your skin as I said above. Use a natural moisturizer like aloe vera. After three days do the second step.

Just use the natural scrub very mildly. So here is the tip for "natural scrub". After this also use moisturizer. After three days go to the next step. The intervals you can make weekly if you want.
