SUMMER AND
HEALTH
In summer Longer
hours of daylight and hot, dry, or humid weather can affect our skin
differently than the colder and darker days of winter.
Increase in
temperatures during the summer months, combined with humidity and heat, can
increase the activity of the sebaceous glands. This makes oily skin appear
oilier and dry skin appear rough and patchy.
Keep
Your Skin Hydrated
Eat
healthy and light
Avoid
outside food
Treat
your eyes well

your body

Maintaining
good hygiene is very important during summer. A cool bath in the night before
you go to bed can help remove all the dirt, grime and sweat your body has
accumulated during the day and prevent rashes
Roadside food
can be contaminated and may lead to foodborne illnesses. Also in the summer
heat if food is not stored properly it may get spoilt and lead to a stomach
infection.
At least 8
glasses of water are needed. If possible, carry a water bottle with you and
remember to drink at least once every 30 min. because Water is the most
important ingredient in healthy skin tissue
In addition
to your regular moisturizer, try using a nourishing oil or light night cream
before hitting the hay. Since you won’t want to slather on a heavy moisturizer
during the daytime, taking this extra step can allow you to replenish moisture
overnight.
Eat light,
small, frequent meals. Heavy meals with large amounts of carbohydrates and fats
give rise to a lot of heat in the body. Focus on fresh fruits and vegetables
that have high water content – such as oranges, watermelon, tomatoes, etc.
Use good
antioxidant serum during the summer. Not only does an antioxidant serum hydrate
your skin, but it can also protect your skin from environmental damage.
Most of our
focus is on taking care of our face because it is what everyone sees first. But
do not forget that your feet carry you around all day and they need care too. Apply
oil to your feet while sleeping.
Restrict
outdoor activities to the cooler parts of the day – early mornings before 11.
am or late evenings after 6.00 pm.
