Skin care in summer - features of summer skin care

No one says that the skin undergoes less stress in summer than in winter. No, but the impact factors are significantly different, as are skin care methods:

1. In summer, the dust has a big impact on the skin - the pores get very dirty very quickly, just go out on a windy, dry day.
2. In addition, the pores are clogged with sebum, because the summer is hot, and we often sweat. By the way, because of loss of moisture by the body, the skin dries, becomes rough.
3. And the sun's rays? What a serious impact they have. Often, the skin on the face burns, and then you need a special care. From the sun, we constantly squint, as a result, mimic wrinkles around the eyes become more noticeable and new ones are formed.

Do not use soap or other soap or alkali soap for washing. Such substances exert a drying effect on the skin.

The sweating face should not be wiped with "wiping" movements. So all the dirt gets into the pores. Use dry napkins for these purposes, and blot them face as needed.

Moisturizing

Once the skin becomes especially dry in summer, it needs to be moistened.

Best remedies:
