Summer is just around the corner in Australia and like every year we are going to be celebrating €hot€ Christmas. With all the shopping, vacationing and roaming around in the hot sun, the one part of our body that takes the most beating is our skin. Without proper skin care, our skin can start showing up a lot of trouble symptoms like acne and Rosacea especially if you have sensitive skin.
Thousands of Australians have sensitive skin and summer can prove to be the most horrible time of the year for these people. They suffer from the burning and stinging sensation and hate to step out into the bright sun. Sensitive skin is not a type of skin but a condition that could exist with any type of skin. So while you have normal skin during other seasons, your skin suddenly decides to go crazy in summer. Here are a few tips to take care of sensitive skin during the summer.
Face wash - you must use special facial cleanser meant for sensitive skin especially in the summer. Avoid using foamy cleansers especially in the morning as it tends to take away all the oil and moisture leaving your skin drier.
Toner - Apply toner meant specifically for sensitive skin. The function of the toner is to gently exfoliate and moisturize your skin.
Lotion - Applying a good quality skin specific lotion locks in the moisture in your face. Summer sun tends to dry out your skin quickly so apply lotions that contain high content of moisture and essential oil especially chamomile which has a soothing effect on the skin and can help relieve inflammation and nervousness.
Sunscreen - It may sound clich©d but no article on skin care for summer can be complete without the mention of sunscreen. There is sunscreen lotions specifically prepared for sensitive skin and you should choose one that has SPF 30.
Some home-made remedies include using jojoba oil, almond oil or olive oil to cleanse your face. To exfoliate you can use the juices of citrus fruits or mix oatmeal with grapefruit juice and use, a third alternative is mixing honey and milk with crushed almonds. Applying tomato juice as soon as you reach home can help remove suntan
This is as far as skin care goes but without the proper diet your skin cannot shine. Make sure you drink sufficient quantities of water, avoid drinking sugary drinks like cool drinks or even fruit juices. When your body asks for water provide it with simple plain colourless water. Avoid eating foods that make you feel heavy and if possible lessen the portion size too as keeping your body light is also a great way of beating heat.
