7 Tips For Sensitive Skin In Summer

1. Protect your skin from the sun

The sun's rays can be particularly harsh on sensitive skin, making it important to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays. Add a sunscreen in your summer skin care for sensitive skin to protect yourself from sun damage. Wear sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 and above whenever you go outside, even if it's cloudy. Reapply it every two hours or shortly after swimming or sweating. Consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and full-length clothes to further protect your skin from the sun. We recommend using the Bright Complete Vitamin C Serum Cream that has SPF 40 /PA +++. It is enriched with yuzu lemon extract, which provides protection against three signs of damage, tanning, dark spots and sun burns.

2. Hydrate your skin

This is one of the major tips for sensitive skin in summer. Dehydration can cause the skin to become dry, itchy, and sensitive. So, drink plenty of water throughout the day to combat this. And don’t forget to add consider using a moisturiser designed specifically for sensitive skin. Avoid harsh substances such as alcohol and perfumes, which can aggravate sensitivity. The Daily Care Moisturising Cream by Garnier is infused with grapefruit water and vitamin E that provides hydration throughout the day. It is a lightweight moisturiser that is non greasy and makes your skin supple and soft without causing any irritation. Add this moisturiser to your summer skin care for sensitive skin to provide it with maximum nourishment.

3. Take cool showers

Hot showers can deplete the skin of its natural oils, causing dryness and irritation. Instead, take cool showers in the summer to help calm sensitive skin. If you like warmer showers, keep them short and use a gentle, fragrance-free soap designed for sensitive skin. Also, while cleansing your face, use lukewarm or cold water, and a gentle facewash like the Bright Complete Vitamin C Gel facewash. Infused with vitamin C and lemon, this facewash has a lightweight gel formula that cleanses your skin without making it too dry. This facewash is ideal for sensitive skin care in summer.

4. Use gentle skincare products

Sensitive skin can react poorly to harsh chemicals present in some skincare products. Hence, it’s essential to choose products that are sulphate-free, fragrance-free, and paraben-free. Look for products that are hypoallergenic and specially developed for sensitive skin. Before using a new product, test a small patch of the skin to check for any allergic reactions. This is one of the most important tips for sensitive skin in summer.

5. Be careful with exfoliation

Exfoliating can help remove dead skin cells, and reveal smoother, brighter skin. However, over exfoliation or using harsh ingredients can be harmful for sensitive skin. Instead of using harsh scrubs or exfoliating tools such as loofahs, use gentler options like chemical exfoliants or a soft washcloth. To avoid over-exfoliation, limit exfoliation to once or twice a week.

6. Choose the right fabrics

The clothes you wear can have a huge impact on the health of your skin. While following your summer skincare for sensitive skin, you need to also be careful about what you wear. Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen, which allow air to flow and reduce sweat build up, preventing irritation and itching. Synthetic materials, such as polyester and nylon, can trap moisture and heat on your skin, causing rashes and other skin irritations.

7. Take precautions in chlorinated

The chlorine in swimming pools can be extremely irritating to sensitive skin. If you plan on swimming in a chlorinated pool, use waterproof sunscreen before entering the water and immediately take a shower post swimming to remove any leftover chlorine. Alternately, you can swim in saltwater pools or natural bodies of water instead, which are gentler on the skin.
