Meghana HarikumarSummer is here and with the soaring temperatures, we want armor-like sunscreen lotion, a scarf, and an umbrella to accompany us while stepping out. The scorching heat, pollution, and humidity disturb the natural glow and invite infections, rashes, sunburns, and acne. Overexposure to the sun has many adverse effects on the skin such as aging skin, allergic reactions, and prolonged and serious skin diseases.
The summer knock shouldn’t worry us if we follow a proper summer skincare routine to keep our skin nourished and radiant. We have below with the inputs of Naina Ruhail, Co-CEO and Founder of Vanity Wagon noted the tips to tease the sun during this mischievous summer.
Screen with Sunscreen
Get sunscreen; SPF 50 with UVA and UVB products is something one should eye for. It is important to wear sunscreen every time we step out. It is always better to apply sunscreen all over your body and experience the wonders it brings to you by keeping away fine lines and dark spots. The Pulp MVP Daily Sunscreen + Primer 50 SPF available on Vanity Wagon has Hyaluronic Acid and Spinach leaf extract that nourishes your skin aptly. Apply sunscreen approximately 30 minutes before being in the sun.
Hydrate Yourself
Summer skincare needs more attention and to keep your skin looking healthy and nourished, hydration should be on your to-do list. Add lighter lotions and skin and hair care products with humectants to your vanity and lock moisture efficiently. Incorporate watermelons, cucumbers, and melons into your diet to help your body absorb sufficient water. To get a shot of hydration for thirsty skin charged by Hyaluronic Acid, add Suganda Hyaluronic Acid Serum into your skincare routine.
Cleansing is Essential
In summers, our skin gets oilier due to increased heat and humidity. With exfoliation, you can unclog your pores, even your tone, reduce acne, and increase the skin cell repair process. There is a variety of nature-laden face cleansers, scrubs, and chemical exfoliation products that can slowly help you in getting rid of skin debris and dead cells. Auli Exfoliating Scrub can bring various benefits to your skin. One can go for chemical exfoliation once or thrice a week, but it is advisable to observe how much your skin can handle.
Minimal Make-up
Give your detailed makeup session a break and follow a minimal makeup routine to keep your skin light during the summers. A fruit-based facewash, light moisturizer, foundation, and SPF lip balm are perfect for touch-ups. Ilana Dream Blush, Lip And Cheek Tint, Coral is a cream blush made with natural ingredients that give your cheeks, eyelids, and lips a seamless, creamy matte finish color.
Quick Showers
Maintaining proper hygiene can limit the scope of skin infection and itchy rashes. Your hectic day should find slots for bathing twice a day to keep you fresh and energetic. Choosing a body wash with lemon extracts that can counter anti-bacterial properties, will also check body odor, and ingredients of aloe vera in it will boost hydration. The Nature’s Co. Lemongrass Body Wash rejuvenates your skin and its antiseptic properties can normalize oil production and reduce breakouts.
Lip Care
Your lips often go dry in summers and applying sunscreen on your lips is a big no. Go for a sun-protective lip balm to protect your lips from UV damage and discoloration.

Befriend Antioxidants
Every year, summers take a toll on the skin. It is important to add antioxidants into your diet and add antioxidant products into your beauty wagon. Tomato, Garlic, Spinach, Watermelon. Blueberries are a rich source of antioxidants. Antioxidants can reduce inflammation, and fight signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin to give you a youthful radiance.
