Summer Skincare
Stay Hydrated
Use Sunscreen
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and protect your skin from the harsh rays of the sun. If you are stepping out, cover all exposed areas of your skin, including your face, neck, arms, and legs. Reapply sunscreen every three hours, especially if you spend extended periods outdoors.
Moisturise Daily
Limit Sun Exposure
Take A Cool Shower
A hot shower may feel relaxing, but it can strip your skin of its natural oils and lead to excessive dryness. Instead, opt for lukewarm showers to cleanse your skin gently without causing irritation or dehydration. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel and follow up with a moisturiser to lock in hydration.
