The summer season is here and we need to give extra attention to our skin. Staying out for too long in sunlight can damage your skin and lead to many skin-related issues. Our skin is very sensitive and it needs daily care when the weather changes. In summer our skin becomes more oily and sweaty, that is the reason our skin looks dull in summers.
Here are some summer skincare problems you really need to save your skin from:
Tanning
Tanning is the most common problem in summer. UV rays cause the skin to produce melanin, which is the pigment that causes tanning. Wearing sunscreen of SPF 30 every day can save your skin from tanning. Wear full sleeve clothes and also you can try a wide-brimmed hat to shield your skin.
