How to take care of your skin in summer

Summer is the hottest season of the year, and our skin metabolism is also the fastest in this season. Due to the hot weather, we will sweat a lot, and the pores of the skin will also expand, making it easy for bacteria to invade. In addition, the sun's exposure to the skin in summer is also particularly severe, so skin care in summer is particularly important. So how to care for your skin in summer? Let’s take a look at it below.

1. Clean the skin

In summer, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, the skin's sebum and sweat secretions increase, and the skin cell replacement is faster in summer than in other seasons. A large number of dead keratinocytes accumulate in the epidermis. If these skin "garbage" are not removed in time, they will clog the hair follicles and cause acne and pimples. Therefore, the first thing to do in summer skin care is to keep the skin clean. It is generally advisable to wash your face twice a day, and you can increase the frequency of using scrub according to the situation. You should clean your skin at least once a week to completely remove aging epidermal cells and reveal new skin.

2. Pay attention to sun protection

The summer sun contains more ultraviolet rays, which can have many adverse effects on the skin. In addition to inducing solar dermatitis, freckles, and chloasma, excessive exposure can also cause precancerous lesions of the skin and skin malignant tumors. Therefore, sun protection is the top priority of summer skin care. You can apply sunscreen on exposed parts of the skin, and apply more sunscreen to delicate parts of the skin, such as around the eyes, throat, face and back of the hands. Wear a sun hat and sunglasses when going out.

3. Replenish water

As the temperature rises in summer, moisture in the skin evaporates easily, so the skin is generally dehydrated in summer. In order to keep the skin moisturized, it is necessary to replenish enough water. When using moisturizing skin care products, you should also drink more water to effectively prevent your skin from drying out and aging due to lack of water.

4. Whitening

In summer, basic skin care products should be replaced with skin care products with whitening effects, such as whitening lotion, whitening day cream, whitening night cream, etc.; eat less food containing pigments, especially various tempting cold drinks and ice cream; pay special attention to easily neglected parts of the body such as hands, feet, neck, etc., and apply whitening basic lotion to these parts before applying sunscreen.

Through the above introduction, we know how to care for the skin in summer, especially pay attention to skin cleansing, and also pay attention to skin oil control. In summer, especially for oily skin, you should pay more attention. Due to the hot weather, the skin will have a lot of oil, which will block the normal metabolism of the pores.
