As the spring season wears off, it is time to let go of those jackets and layers and embrace the oncoming summer heat. Summers can be fun, bright and shiny, but also have a trying side to them. With summers, come dry or humid weather, sweat, dirt and grime, pollution and scorched skin. All these combined are designed to wipe that skin glow right off you. It not only hampers healthy-looking skin but also invites blackheads, rashes, and different kinds of skin infections. Skin infections, while temporary can leave a permanent effect in the form of dull and aging skin look.

To avoid the hassle of the cure at a later stage, let us look at the ways you can start caring and protecting your skin from the gruesome summer wrath. Some natural remedies and preventives can go a long way when It comes to skincare.

1. Gently and regularly exfoliate

Basic skincare rule is always to exfoliate. It is more about basic hygiene than skincare. Why? Our body sheds skincare at a continuous rate throughout the day. They keep setting on your skin like layers. If you do not get rid of them, they tend to layer your skin and make it dull and grimy. The achievement of glowing skin can come only from exfoliation. Exfoliation has to be gentle not to harm the skin but regular. Two to three times a week and be sure to land up with beautiful glowing skin. Evalife’s Natural Face Scrub has a concoction of a fruit cocktail infused with almond oil that exfoliates the skin and deep cleanses it.

2. Keep your skin pampered

Summertime is a great excuse to get yourself flounced and pampered by people around you, salons and spas. You will need to schedule facials with your beautician every month for your regular clean up and facial. Ideally, you should be going the herbal way. Standard facials contain too much chemical content, which is an edge harmful to your skin. You can opt for brightening facial which accommodates all skin types. It has components which effectively exfoliate your skin to give you a natural yet cleansing experience. The scrub, massage cream, and masque work to remove dead skin cells, deep clean, and improve blood circulation through a relaxing massage. Facials that have therapeutic natural ingredients are aimed to rejuvenate your skin and make a prettier you.

3. Morning, Noon and Night

Skincare isn’t about a facial or clear up every month. It is a continuous process. How do we keep caring for our skin during the day? Simple. Keep it clean. Keep washing it during the day. We have a bath, use our face washes, shower gels, etc., in the morning. We tend to forget that our skin needs our attention during the day as well. By drinking enough water, we keep it hydrated and the moisture intact. By washing it, using wet wipes, using a toner helps it stay fresh. Using a light toner in the evening helps it from going dull, cleaning out dead skin and all the dirt and grime along with your make up during the day.

4. Hydrated and glowing

We hear so many times that hydration is the tip to beautiful skin. We may not think about it that carefully but dietary and water intake contribute to the health of our skin. It helps the skin stay clean and clear of acne or heat boils. As much as it is essential to keep the skin hydrated, it is also equally important to keep it fresh during the day. How you achieve this quickly is with EvaLife Neem Face Wash. This face wash is for all skin types, and the cream is infused with neem and aloe vera extracts which soothe the skin herbally, keep it moisturized and retain its natural glow. It also evens out blemishes and scars due to vitamin D content in the face wash.

5. Honey

Honey is considered one of the superior conditioners when it comes to the face or lips. Honey encapsulated with almond and shea butter, and natural beeswax works wonders for the skin, lips and face tones. The honey with the oils acts as an anti-bacterial agent and seals in the moisture-retaining the softness of the lips and avoiding the flaky feel. Natural beeswax, aside from its known benefits of treating skin conditions, works well to soften and rehydrate the dry skin in harsh summer weather conditions. 

 6. Almonds

We usually associate almonds with hair care or hair oil. But the function of almonds is of a natural, hypoallergenic moisturizer which is excellent to keep your lips hydrated and prevents them from going dry. Almonds contain vitamin A and E, which help fight off the dryness. Almonds coupled with jojoba and avocado oil, teamed up with shea butter to give you a complete package for prevention of chapped lips. Olive oil with almonds is a natural lubricant which helps in keeping your lips soft and fluffy for the entire day and prevents them from going dry and flaky during summers.

 7. Go fruit crazy – and we don’t just mean for eating!

And here you thought fruits are excellent only when eaten. Many fruits help you naturally cure your skin of any patchiness that the summer may have left behind. Bananas and Papaya face masks can be used for a rejuvenating and hydrating purpose. Tomatoes serve very well with a slight toner as a detan pack which takes that tan right off. Kiwi is a new kid on the block in terms of face packs. Kiwi has antioxidizing and nourishing properties which, when used with beeswax, makes a yummy fruit balm.

 8. Follow through with a feet fetish

Summer care is not all about the face. It is also about the feet. It merely is terrible to see uncured, dirty, and dull feet in those pretty sandals. Now and then get yourself a pedicure and pamper those feet. Your feet take most of the brunt of the dust, dirt, and pollution that they encounter. It is your job not just to hit the parlor but also daily clean the dead skin right off. Use pumice stones and foot scrubbers as a part of your showers to keep those ankles beautiful, chubby and pink.

 9. Go minimum

As we get ready every day, we subject our skin to many kinds of chemicals in the form of packs, foundations, compacts, eye shadows, lip colors, etc. Why not go bare? Embrace looking natural. It's not just because we jumped on the bandwagon of minimal makeup the hype. It is more for care for your skin. The less we burden our skin with makeup, the more natural and younger it looks. Anything artificial will be harmful. Go easy on your skin with a minimum angle. Just throw on a moisturizer, with a light powder and kohl for the eyes. Lip gloss to complete your look. Just the right and light textures for summers.

 10. Slice of lemon

A lemon slice makes everything nice. Ever heard of lemon juice for the face and lips? When you couple the lemon juice extract with jojoba, olive and almond oil along with wheat germ to make a perfect potion for prettier lips. Lemon is replete with vitamins A, B, C and E, which not only moisturizes but also gives a lustrous look to them. Jojoba oil is a rare combination which works very well as it lubricates and moisturizes the lips to a great extent.
