 Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Neha Dubey, I'm a consultant medical and aesthetic dermatologist at Manipal Hospitals Guru Gram and today I'm going to talk to you about certain skin care tips that will help you keep your skin hydrated and healthy during harsh summer weather. So tip number one is lighten up your skin care. If we start with cleansers switch over to milder, fragrance free foaming cleansers instead of heavier oily cleansers. Tip number two is use two in one products. So invest in such products like if you have a moisturizer it should contain SPF also so that you're not causing traffic on your face by applying too many products at the same time. Moisturizer is important but heavier moisturizers will clog your pores resulting in inflammation and acne. Sunscreen is also important but you know people with oily skin types or acne prone skins sunscreen usually give them a hard time during summers. They hate to apply it and if they do not apply it it will result in signs of aging, pigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines and things like that. So club your moisturizer and SPF, invest in a two in one product. Any SPF 30 and above is good for Indian skin type. Whatever you use if you're using a moisturizer come sunscreen make it a habit to apply it every three to four hours if you are there out in the sun for a longer time. Also invest in water gel based products. So your moisturizer also could be a lighter one which is based upon a water gel and sunscreen could also be the same. Now what sunscreen or what moisturizer is good for you that depends upon your skin type and it has to change with the weather and this is where the role of dermatologist comes in so you should consult one in order to you know figure out the right kind of product for you. Now this brings me to the next step that is a vitamin C serum. Vitamin C serum or cream see vitamin C topical vitamin C I'm talking about it is important all the year round okay but during summers it becomes essential why because excess UV radiations can actually trigger the production of abnormal pigment in your skin and vitamin C it protects against that formation and it is a potent antioxidant so this is a good time to invest in a good vitamin C serum or a cream. Now the other point is on hydration so you would want to keep yourself hydrated from within also apart from all the skincare that you're applying topically. So you know replace your extra mug of tea or coffee with fresh juices coconut water and buttermilk that is going to do wonders for your skin and you will sail through nicely during these harsh summer weather. I think this is good to go and I hope this helps your skin out. Thank you.
