Protection from the sun and its rays are of utmost importance. And not just the sun, there are rays from the screens, and rays entering your house through windows. So even on days when you don\u2019t step out, you should apply sunscreen to protect your skin from getting harmed.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>But what is it exactly that damages your skin?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>UV-A<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>These rays can penetrate the deepest layer of your skin, the dermis.

Try picking a fruit of a different colour every day to make sure you get all the antioxidants and nutrients your skin needs. A diet rich in flavonoids will help to ensure healthy and glowing skin. No-fat or low-fat diets will cause your skin to dry, wrinkle, and age. You need essential fats in your diet to keep your skin moist and supple. Nuts and seeds and fresh fish are excellent sources of good fats.<\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid going out during peak hours<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Try avoiding going out in the sun for as much as you can, between 10 am \u2013 4 pm. As it is during this time the sun\u2019s rays are the most harmful. \u00a0However, since the world can\u2019t stop functioning and most of the work happens during the daytime, the least you can do is step out either lathering up yourself in sunscreen or to take a scarf or hat to cover your up.<\/p>\n<p><b>Style it up<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Wear wide-brimmed hats, which are not only very in this season but will also protect your facial skin from the scorching sun. Wear sunglasses to not only protect your eyes but also the delicate skin around your eyes, which is sensitive to rapid ageing. You can easily lay your hands on Vitamin E gel or capsules that you can mix within your moisturisers or eye creams. These will nourish and refresh the undereye area. Cover up as much skin as you can and wear lightweight fabric, preferably light colors.<\/p>\n<p><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4012 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.multiqos.com\/wp-aaynaclinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/young-beautiful-woman-applying-sun-cream-beach_329181-16338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"626\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.multiqos.com\/wp-aaynaclinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/young-beautiful-woman-applying-sun-cream-beach_329181-16338.jpg 626w, https:\/\/staging.multiqos.com\/wp-aaynaclinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/young-beautiful-woman-applying-sun-cream-beach_329181-16338-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.multiqos.com\/wp-aaynaclinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/young-beautiful-woman-applying-sun-cream-beach_329181-16338-600x403.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.multiqos.com\/wp-aaynaclinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/young-beautiful-woman-applying-sun-cream-beach_329181-16338-400x269.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Use Sunscreen<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Now, this is an extremely important step because you need to know how to pick the perfect sunscreen that\u2019s ideal for you. There are certain things you need to look for when buying sunscreen. \u2018SPF\u2019 stands for Sun Protective Factor, which protects against UV-B. Apart from this also look for \u2018PA\u2019 that stands for the protection grade of UV-A. However, what is more important than the strength of the formulation, is the frequent application of it almost every 2 hours if you\u2019re an outdoorsy person. Keep in mind the kind of formulation you\u2019d like to go for. So, if you have oily skin, use a sunscreen that is water-based and likewise pick a base accordingly if you have dry skin. Don\u2019t forget about your lips \u2013 use a lipstick\/lip balm with SPF 30 or higher.<\/p>\n<p><b>Use antifungal powders<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dust some anti-fungal powder in all the skin folds and on the feet and soles to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.multiqos.com\/wp-aaynaclinic\/treatments\/clinical-dermatology\">fungal infections.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cleanse<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Wash your face with a gentle cleanser at least 2 times a day. If you have dry skin, use a toner for further cleansing and hydration.<\/p>\n<p><b>Moisturizer isn\u2019t for everyone<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It is important to keep your skin hydrated, however, it is prudent not to use too much moisturizer. Avoid using cream-based makeup if you have oily skin, as well as clogging your pores by applying multiple layers of makeup. This will only block and stop your pores from breathing and further make you prone to acne.<\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t sweat the small stuff<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Stress adversely affects your body and your skin is no different. So try to relax, meditate, or take a short vacation and have a super summer!<\/p>\n<p>Always consult your dermatologist before applying anything to your face. Your face has the most sensitive skin and it&#8217;s imperative to not put anything on your face unless it is recommended as per your skin\u2019s need. Never follow a regime blindly or copy someone else\u2019s regime as well, as every skin is different.
