Summer Skin Problems and How to Deal with Them!

Summer is the season for Fun and the SUN, but the scorching heat and humidity wreaks havoc on our skin! These summer skin problems can leave us feeling self-conscious and on a quest for natural ways to undo the damage. There are natural solutions and a few simple adjustments in your summer skincare routine that can help you get your desired healthy and glowing skin all season long.  

Common Summer Skin Problems

The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays are the main guilty party behind many summer skin problems. Overexposure to UV rays can lead to sunburns and premature signs of aging, and it even increases the risk of other skin conditions. While sunscreen is essential for protecting your skin, there's more you can do to combat the effects of summer on your skin. 

Acne Breakouts

Hot and Humid weather can trigger acne breakouts as a result of increased oil production and frequent sweating. If you have acne-prone skin, chances are, the sweat and oil production can cause clogged pores leading to blackheads, acne breakouts, and flare-ups. 

Sun Burn

Nothing ruins your fun in the sun like a painful sunburn. It occurs when the skin is over-exposed to UV rays, leading to inflamed, irritated skin with discomfort and redness all over.

Prickly Heat Rashes

Technically, blocked sweat glands are the cause of heat rashes. Because the sweat cannot get out, it builds up under the skin, causing rashes and tiny, itchy bumps. When these itchy bumps burst and release sweat, many people feel a prickly sensation on their skin. 

Folliculitis

Your hair grows out of a small opening called a follicle. When the follicles get infected due to bacteria or dirt you develop folliculitis. It looks like a pimple on the surface of your skin, but it's itchy and tender to touch. 

Dry and Dehydrated Skin

The Sun is really good at sucking up on moisture on the surface and that includes our skin. This leads to red, itchy, and flaky skin. It is one of the most common summer skin problems people face during this season. 

Body Odor

Bacteria's thrive during the summer season on your skin, especially the fold of your skin. During the summer season, when these bacteria get mixed with sweat and moisture, they produce hydrogen sulfide and fatty acids that result in body odor.

Tan 

Tan seems to sound very desirable to many, but for some people, it is a cause of concern as it can leave your skin dry, irritated, and dull. 

Oily Skin

It is a testing time for those with oily skin. It causes your skin to appear greasy, shiny, and sticky. And using the wrong moisturizer can just make it worse. 

Easy Ways to Deal with These Skin Problems

Daily Cleansing

Washing your face twice a day with a mild cleanser can help remove the sweat, oil, and dirt buildup. You can try a natural cleanser made using rose petals, neem, and orange peel powders. 

Exfoliate

Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores and breakouts. However, choose a natural and nourishing exfoliation method to prevent skin irritation and rashes. Try out our Tan-Removal Combo - these are natural products that gently exfoliate your skin, hydrate, and nourish your skin. 

Moisturize Daily

Even oily skin needs moisturization, during the summer season it can be a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer, like Aloe Vera Gel enriched with Vitamin E beads. It is soothing and helps combat maximum skin problems caused by the wrath of the summer season. 

Don't Forget the SPF 

Sunscreen is your best defense against sun damage. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays using a broad-spectrum of sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.

Keep Yourself Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, and complement it with hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables. 

Don't let the scorching heat dampen your fun and spirit. Just your skin covered and follow these tips to protect your skin and prevent other skin-related problems during the summer season.
