Summer is a time for sunny days and outdoor activities, but it also poses challenges for your skin. Heat, humidity, and increased UV exposure can lead to dryness, sunburn, and clogged pores. Ayurveda, with its holistic approach, offers effective solutions to maintain healthy, glowing skin during summer. Here are some essential Ayurvedic skincare tips and the benefits of key products like the Udvartana Scrub, Exfoliating Body Polish, and the Body Range Re-Balance™ formulas.
Ayurvedic Skincare Tips for Summer
Stay Hydrated Drinking plenty of water is crucial to keep your skin hydrated and flush out toxins. Hydrated skin is less prone to dryness, flakiness, and irritation in the summer heat.
Follow a Light Diet Consume cooling and hydrating foods such as cucumbers, melons, leafy greens, and berries. These foods help balance the Pitta dosha, which can become aggravated in the summer.
Protect Your Skin from the Sun Use natural sun protection methods like wearing light, breathable clothing, hats, and sunglasses. Applying natural, non-toxic sunscreen helps prevent sun damage.
