As summer is almost here it is time to be extra careful about your skin as summer skincare needs special attention. Make sure you follow the basic regime like cleaning and exfoliation apart from applying aloe vera gel in the night and giving your body the right vitamins and minerals. Dr Jyoti Malik Consultant dermatologist at Kutiz Skin Clinic, doles out tips to make your skin summer ready-
- Moisturize:Make sure you trade that richer moisturizer with lightweight lotions and gels. A lightweight lotion can help your skin look fresh and hydrated in the scorching heat.
- Vitamin C:Make sure you add Vitamin C products to your diet for a healthier, smoother and younger looking skin. Giving yourself a Vitamin C boost will help you protect your skin from harsh UV rays in the summers. Add juices of orange, pineapple, mango etc to your diet to boost skin.
- Sunscreen:Always use a sunscreen that matches your skin type, they would work wonders. Apply it 30 minutes before heading out in the sun, and for best results, re-apply generously after every 4 hours if you continue to stay out in the blistering sun. The SPF of your sunscreen should be SPF 30 PA++ or SPF 30. Ensure that you make it a part of your daily regimen.
- Aloe Vera:After a long day in the scorching heat, applying aloe vera gel on your skin helps to soothe and cool your skin. It acts as an antioxidant and protects your skin from damage and other skin related problems. Add this in your daily night regimen for better results.
- Stay hydrated:Make sure you drink 10-12 glasses of water every day to keep your body, lips and skin hydrated. Water helps in achieving that permanent glow, removes toxins and enhances well-being. It is essential to moisturize your face immediately after washing.
- Fresh fuel:Your body responds and runs better when you fuel it with plenty of vitamins and nutrition. Make sure you add more of fruits and vegetables this summer in your diet and limit your sugar intake. It works wonders for the body inside and out and makes your skin more hydrated, glowing and healthy. Try and avoid junk food as much as possible.
These were some tips that need to be followed on regular basis on summers.
Also, there are 2 procedures that give you a flawless clear complexion-
- HydraFacial
Well if you have skin problems of sunburns, peeling, dehydrated skin, sweating means your skin is craving a refresher and we’ve got just the thing as HydraFacial. HydraFacial is non-invasive and an advanced medical-grade non-irritating skin care treatment that targets fine lines and wrinkles, oily and congested skin, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. It softens the appearance of large pores, improves skin texture and tone, improves the overall health of skin by utilizing serums filled with antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and helps to repair existing sun damage. The HydraFacial is recommended for all seasons; however, since we tend to wear less makeup in the summer we really want our skin to look its best.
- Microdermabrasion (Skin polishing)
Microdermabrasion is to restore younger looking skin, but it is absolutely suited to assisting those with sun damage and other summer-inflicted conditions. It is a process that exfoliates, polishes, and increases the lymphatic drainage of skin. It uses a gentle vacuum to bring your skin in contact with crystals that gently remove the top layer of dead skin. It can be used to help treat various skin conditions such as acne, blackheads, and dull or rough skin. It is most commonly used on the face, but can be also used on the neck, back, and hands. After the procedure, skin feels restored and rejuvenated – enhancing skin to be at its best – boosting your confidence and preparing you for the cold winter months ahead.
There are 2 types of microdermabrasion-
- Crystal Microdermabrasion- It is a procedure that will remove the outer surface of the skin by means of force or friction. Crystal microdermabrasion treatments involve the use of a special hand-held device that blasts a high-speed flow of aluminum oxide crystals onto the skin. At the same time, the machine’s vacuum system sucks dirt, dead cells and used crystals. Crystal treatments can be compared to “Sand blasting”.
- Diamond Microdermabrasion- It is a procedure that will remove the outer surface of the skin by means of scratching, grating or sanding. Diamond microdermabrasion treatments involves the use of a diamond tipped wand that is then used to “scratch or sand” away the top level of the skin, while the machine’s vacuum system sucks dirt, and dead skin. Diamond treatments can be compared to the use of “Sand Paper”.
