For the sunny skincare

With the switch in season from a colder to a warmer climate, it is crucial to change your hair care and skincare routine.

Gunjan Jain, national educational manager, Cheryl's Cosmeceuticals, on skincare tips:

Hydration is the key: It is essential to drink plenty of water and keep hydrating ourselves as water flushes out the toxins and keeps our skin glowing.

It's wise to carry a moisturiser and home-made flavoured water in your bag and keep hydrating your skin and body throughout the day.

Sunblock is a must: Never step out of the house without applying a good sunblock with the right SPF value.

While most of us are aware of the importance of sunblock, it is equally important to use the right amount of the product.

Apply sunblock at least 15-20 minutes before you step outside, and if needed keep reapplying the product. It is advisable to apply sunblock every day even if you are at home as sun rays enters at our home as well.

In-salon treatments: You can also go an extra mile by getting an anti-dullness or a de-tanning facial done once in a month to help your skin fight the summer heat in a better way. Giving our skin extra nourishment to reduce the dryness or decrease the tan can be extremely helpful.

Exfoliation: It helps in removing the dead skin cells that can damage your skin texture and give you an even skin tone.

Cleaning the skin regularly with a hydrating face wash and exfoliator is a must. Cleansing and refreshing the skin are important during summer to remove sweat and oil deposits.
