Skin tends to be drier during summer months because the summer heat can dry your skin making it appear dehydrated and parched. Some women think there is no need to use a moisturizers during summer since the skin sweats and already looks shiny. This is a big mistake. Oil and sweat are two different things. Oil depletion makes skin vulnerable to wind, sun, temperature contrast and other environmental factors. During hot summer days, sweat evaporates from the skin’s surface making it even drier and prone to infection. Your skin loses coatings of oil, sweat and natural acids. Therefore, it is important to replenish the lost moisture and hydrate your skin to keep it glowing and fresh.
HYDRATE YOUR SKIN BY MOISTURIZING
Moisturizers help to maintain your skin’s natural moisture levels that can be depleted by the summer heat. Moisturizers provide a seal over your skin to help keep moisture from escaping. The best time to apply a moisturizer is immediately after taking a shower as this will help hold water in the upper layers of your skin. If the red bumps of heat rash are a problem, use a mild antibacterial cleanser, which will fight the bacteria that build up in sweat glands and cause the rash. Finally, while your skin is still damp, moisturize with a light lotion. If your skin is very dry, you may fare better by selecting a greasier moisturizer containing more oil or, if you need less, select one that has more water than oil. But bath time isn’t the only time to consider your skin’s moisture needs. Carry some moisturizers with you so your can use it every time you wash your hands.
BENEFITS OF MOISTURIZING
Your skin needs water and oil to carry out its natural healing process. Dehydrated skin has a decreased ability to do that. Although dehydrated skin is not directly responsible for wrinkles and fine lines, dry skin can be a contributing factor. Since dehydrated skin is less likely to heal itself, it is harder for you skin to recover from the negative effects of the sun and the natural ageing process. For these reasons, it seems obvious that moisture is an important part of skin care and moisturizing your skin would be beneficial.
