FOR A HAPPY AND HEALTHY YOU
Every time summer is around the corner, some complications everyone seems to face during this abominable change in the weather is skin and hair related. During hot days, the pores in our skins are most likely to trap moisture and along with that, the dirt in the atmosphere- add to that the oil released from your pores and voila! You end up with the worst acne breakout of the year. The best way to keep this from happening is by washing your face, as many times a day as possible. Constantly cleaning and hydrating your pores will keep the dirt from collecting. One tip that can really pull you through this weather is first washing your face with warm water or use steam- both of which open up your pores- and then using your desired face wash, and finishing up by washing your face with cold water- which closes up your pores. It's best to use a benzoyl-peroxide cleanser. It is also advisable to use sunscreen lotion and creams, to avoid uneven skin tones.
You can beautify your skin from the inside too, with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and less intake of fried food and aerated drinks. Besides glow-getting ingredients like vitamin C or A, leafy greens are a great source of oestrogen, and also keep your digestion in check, which can help with keeping your skin fresh. A really good facemask one can use to remove oiliness is a carrot face mask. For it, you'll need 1 or 2 fresh carrots (grinded) mixed with a tablespoon of honey. Keep the pack on your face for 15 minutes, wash with cold water and you'll be left with fresh, healthy and soft skin.
Heat from the sun degrades the protective protein in your hair, which oxidizes the colour to a brassy hue, wipes out shine, and leaves locks brittle. The best way to protect your hair, believe it or not, is by keeping it covered. Not only does it keep the sunlight away, it will also trap the moisture on your scalp and keep it hydrated. It is also most necessary to keep your scalp clean, which means more showers. And to beat the frizz, make a concoction of water, aloe-vera juice, and avocado oil. Keep it on hand to spritz whenever a bit of moisture or control is needed.
So there you have it- some tips and suggestions to make this climate change slightly more bearable for you. With happy and healthy skin and hair, you can be sure to find a happy and healthy you.
