9 Best Skin Care Tips in Summer

  1. Protection from Sun
    Summer is the time when sun’s heat is at its peak and can cause damage to your skin. So this is important to get full protection from it by staying indoor most of the time. It is said that the sun rays are more dangerous between 10am and 3pm in the day time, and this is the time when sun rays are very strong and can adversely affect your skin.

    So to beat this, if it is unavoidable to step out please do not forget to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before you leave. You can re-apply sunscreen after regular intervals if have been out in the sun for long hours.Also, use sun glasses while stepping out as the heat can directly hit your eyes and muscles around it which are very delicate and prone to damage easily.  Carry umbrella or cover your head with a cloth or cap to prevent direct falling of heat on it. Sun protection in summer
