Hydrate Away with the dead More than any other part of the year, it’s really important to exfoliate your skin in the summer to remove dead skin and improve blood circulation to the face. If you’re unsure of how to properly do this, you can go to spas or skincare clinics that offer body scrubbing services for you.
The summer heat takes away a lot of the water and nutrients inside our body. This can cause our organs—including the skin—to malfunction. Dr. Jennifer Camat says it’s advisable that you keep yourself well hydrated during summer months by drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Rule of thumb: Listen to your body. If you’re thirsty, then your body’s telling you that it needs more liquid.
How clean is your skin? Wash your face with soap or facial cleanser at least twice a day to keep it clean and fresh. Dr. Camat also advises washing your face a couple of times within the day using water only (to prevent yourself from washing off the natural lipids). Quick tip: It’s always advisable to consult with medical professionals first before buying soap for your skin. Soaping is a major part of our daily routine and can greatly affect not just our skin’s health, but our entire body’s as well.
