October heat is back – take care of your skin!!

Monsoon has bid good bye and harsh and scorching summers are back in full swing. With the temperatures at all time high (during the day) and sinking humidity; it is tough to keep your skin and hair healthy. To braze the October heat, I have come up with certain tips which would prove beneficial for all.

So let’s get going.

·         Increase your water intake and keep your skin hydrated. Also to beat the heat, carry an umbrella. Avoid going out during the day if it is not that urgent.

·         Wear cotton clothes with lighter shades as it would help you keep your skin cool and would reflect the sun’s heat. Girls go for shorts and skirts and boys should opt for Capri pants/shorts , sandos

·         Eat right food. Since there is remarkable change in the day temperatures, it is best to avoid the street food. Our body is still coping with the sudden change and too burden it with street and junk food would only do more harm than good. Home cooked food which is not fried and light on your tummy is the best this season.

·         Include at least one whole fruit in your daily diet. Salads and Cucumbers are an healthy option for the travelers since the heat takes a toll on their health.

·         Go out with minimal make up. Do not overdo as the summer heat would make you sweat a lot. Go for bright shades if you are going out during the day while nude and neutrals would go for a casual outing. Opt for lipgloss with shimmer instead of lipsticks

·         Use lots and lots of sunscreen. Do not go for a sunscreen because your friend has bought it or recommended. You have a different skin type and the weather might also be different at the two places. So go for a moisturizer which suits your skin type and the weather also.

·         Take good care of your hair. In the October month, the hair becomes frizzy and dry and become hard to manage. Some tips for you: Go for short hair. It would not only help in better hair management but would also keep you cool. If you do not want to shorten the length, go for trimming and get rid of the split ends. Avoid shampooing everyday. It might help you clean the scalp but would also take away the scalp’s natural moisture. Carry an umbrella or wear a hat to avoid harsh sun rays.

·         Go for regular Pedicure: Your feet would once again come to life with regular pedicure. Choose colourful nail paints and do not forget to sprinkle powder before wearing the shoes/ sandals. Go for flip flops and beat the October heat bravely.

Do not cut out from the outer world. Instead brave it with these tips and keep glowing.
