How to take care of skin in summers?

As the scorching heat is increasing with the rising temperatures, some special care is required to keep skin beautiful and glowing. The 90% of wrinkles are caused by sunrays as they penetrate the skin’s deepest layer and damage the elastin & collagen which keeps the skin firm. 
Below are some of the methods to project and rejuvenate your skin in summers:

Keep yourself hydrated:
As your body tends to lose a lot of moisture in the summer, so it’s important to regularly replenish it by drinking lots of fluids to keep the skin soft, fresh & moisturized.

Use of Sunscreen/ Sunblock

Use sunscreens whenever you go out in summers. It’s really important to save your skin from harmful UV rays and to have a flawless and non pigmented skin.

Skin Cleansing and exfoliating

The skin cleansing tips given below are suitable for all skin types:
a. Oats help to unclog pores and keep oily skin in check. Grind it and mix it with watermelon juice. Massage it gently all over your face and rinse it with regular water.
b. Adding Flaxseed oil or roasted flaxseed powder to the salads/vegetables /curd/buttermilk regulates the sebaceous glands and thus the oil production from them.
c. Keep some grinded rice in a bottle. Use a spoonful of rice with a few drops of tomato juice and use it to cleanse your skin.
