Winter has passed and summer has finally arrived. It's the time of the year again when temperature escalates rapidly and the atmosphere gets humid. It's that time again when the heat of the Sun becomes uncomfortable and sticky, sweaty days become the norm. Naturally this change of season calls for a change in lifestyle. Along with your wardrobe, you need to change your skincare routine as well to suit the weather. The regimen you were following throughout the dry, cold months of winter is not anymore suitable for the humid and hot summer season.

Don't miss the sunscreen: Summer means tackling harsh sunlight all day long. It doesn't only cause tan, itchy skin or sunburns but also the harmful UV ray is one of the main reasons for many foul skin diseases such as cancer. So don't forget to put on a good amount of sunscreen lotion before going out in the daylight to protect your skin. Take a look at this Daily SPF 30 Sunscreen Moisturizer. It doesn't only protect the skin from harsh sunlight, but also prevents development of wrinkles, pigmentation and sagging skin. Apply it daily on your face, neck, hands or any other exposed part of your skin before going out so your skin doesn't get damaged. This sunscreen will give you dual benefits as it can be used as a daily moisturizer as well.

Drink a lot of water: The most natural way to stay hydrated in summer is to drink a lot of water. If you are someone who forgets to drink water in a regular interval, then set reminders on your phone so you get reminded. It's even better if it's glucose water. Also drinking lemon water is a good idea as it can be a good source of Vitamin C which is vital for your skin in summer.
-
Add seasonal fruits and veggies to your diet: Avoid eating greasy, oily food in summer as much as you can and instead add seasonal fruits and lots of green vegetables to your diet. Watermelon, grapes, lychees, berries, apples etc are water rich fruits which will help with the hydration of your body. And green vegetables with rich antioxidant properties will help you prevent damage to the skin caused by oxidants.
