Remedy for Summer Skin Aliments
FOR OILY SKIN> Even if your skin
is very oily in summer, don’t discontinue the use of sunscreen. Use a
gel-based sunscreen instead of your regular cream-based sunblock.
> Apply fresh, cooled cucumber paste to the skin and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes.
> Wash your face at least two to three times a day.
> Use a scrub once in 10 days, depending on the sensitivity of your skin.
> Aloe Vera gel is also an excellent coolant and moisturizer for oily skin.
IF YOU GET A TAN> Rub your face with ice cubes to close your pores to reduce breakouts. Ice also soothes burnt skin.
>
Cool your palms by lightly rubbing them with ice cubes. Lightly massage
skin with a gel (combination to oily skin) or cream (dry to normal
skin).
> Use a mixture of honey, rosewater and lemon to get rid of a tan.
>
A face pack of unboiled milk, turmeric and some lemon juice is
effective for the face. You can also blend gram flour, lime juice and
some curd to make a face pack.
> You can make herbal sunscreen at home by mixing sesame oil, almond oil and olive oil.
