Sun can take a toll on our skin even before we realize. How often we step out of the house without wearing a sunscreen? And let us tell you, even your cotton scarves can’t do any good to your skin without a sunscreen. 

Summer doesn’t always mean skin damage and sunburn. With some precautions and skincare, you can keep glowing in summer just like the winters.

Aakriti Kochar, beauty and make-up expert, Oriflame India, and Ragini Mehra, founder of Beauty Source, and Shiv Singh Mann, founder of Desert Splendour, have shared tips that can help save your skin. 

  • Wear a sunblock (at least SPF 30) especially in coastal areas or while you're in water as body tends to feel more burn in scorching heat when you are in water. 
  • You can use coconut oil on exposed skin after staying in the sun to soothe affected skin and avoid sunburns.
  • Consuming Vitamin D rich foods like fermented cod liver oil help supplement Vitamin D balance in your body and build a stronger immune system against sunburns. 
  • Keep your skin hydrated not only externally but also internally by drinking a lot of water. Make sure you have at least seven to eight litres of water in summer. Hydrated skin is less prone to sun damage than dry skin.
  • Wear the right clothes. Sometimes, you have to go outside even during the peak hours in summer, so the best way to prevent sunburn is covering yourself with appropriate clothing. Long-sleeve shirts and pants cover more of your skin than tank tops and shorts so they can help block the sun's rays. 
  • Use jojoba oil as it acts like a shield and helps in curing sunburnt skin. The fastest and safest cure for tanned skin is to apply jojoba oil. It is also rich in Vitamins E and B complex, and helps in repairing dry and damaged skin while soothing the burning sensation.
