With the spring here, we have already started feeling the warm weather. All these are signs that we are stepping into summers soon. So, before the mercury rises, make sure you’re set for it with these four simple steps.Get rid of dry skin If you feel that it’s not necessary to moisturise one’s
skin during summers, you are mistaken. Hidden beneath layers of clothings, jackets and shrugs during winters, it’s easy to neglect the dry spots on your knees, elbows, ankles and feet.
But in the summers, it’s a different story. Therefore, it’s time to start exfoliating your skin with an oil-based salt scrub daily before a shower. You can later moisturise with a rich, thick body butter.
Cool your system down If you are still wondering as to what causes your skin to break out into rashes and zits or feeling sick in your stomach, you can blame it on body heat. Therefore, one should begin the process of cooling down the system right away. Drinking coconut water every day will help you to keep your system cool. Try eating fruits that’s rich in water, like water melons, musk melons, kiwis, etc., to keep your body hydrated. You should also replace oily and spicy food with these fruits at least once or twice a day. This will prevent acidity and gas-related troubles, which is quite common in summers.
Internal spring cleaning Start the day by drinking lukewarm water with lemon juice. Being a
natural diuretic, it helps you flush unwanted materials out of your body, stimulating your liver, maintaining urinary tract health and promoting clearer skin. In fact, even its scent is quite refereshing and energising. The citrusy drink helps your system cope with the challenges of summery days.
Go natural/organic The best thing to do before summers is go all-natural. For instance, swap harsh soaps for a skin-softening body wash that is free of chemicals and includes ingredients like mint and lemon, which helps you feel fresh. Similarly, try to consume
organic food products, as this will help you stay healthy during
summer, be it organic juices or vegetables. Chemical-rich and packaged products tend to cause a lot of health problems in a hot climate.
