Summer is the time when you usually dress the coolest. That’s why everyone wants their skin to look smooth and healthy. However, under the scorching sun and the hot dry air, your skin will encounter many problems. The following 6 quick tips will help your skin restore vitality, freshness and smoothness no matter the weather.
1. Exfoliate with baking soda
Baking soda is an effective exfoliating agent. After washing your face, mix baking soda with water in a ratio of 3:1, then gently rub it evenly on your face and rinse off with water. Do this 1-2 times a week, and you will see that your skin becomes brighter and more even in color.
2. Get rid of annoying acne on your back
Mix salt, sugar, honey, and coconut oil together to create a smooth paste. Then, use it 1-2 times a week to exfoliate your body while showering. It will help unclog pores and remove unsightly blemishes, leaving your skin smoother.
3. Add vitamin A to your night cream to treat scars, melasma, and age spots
Vitamin A helps reduce dark spots, wrinkles, and stretch marks. To increase vitamin A in your night cream, you can add a few drops of rosehip or carrot oil to it. Remember to only apply vitamin A cream at night because if used during the day, it will affect the natural sun protection ability of your skin. Be extra cautious if you are pregnant.
4. Use tea tree oil to treat acne
Tea tree oil has been found to have excellent antibacterial properties for the skin. It will improve inflammation caused by acne, push back blackheads, and reduce irritation. Choose a acne treatment gel with tea tree oil as an ingredient, and you will see your acne gradually disappear and your skin will look healthier.
5. Use an oatmeal and essential oil mixture to create a nourishing body wash
You can create an excellent exfoliating agent for your body as follows: mix 1/4 cup of oatmeal with 1/4 cup of powdered milk, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of chosen herbs, which can be chamomile flowers, for example. Then grind the mixture to make it fine and blend all the ingredients together. Add 10-15 drops of your chosen essential oil, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 tablespoons of body lotion. Finally, apply the mixture evenly on your body and gently massage it to remove dead skin cells and dirt from your body.
