Summer Skin Care: Are you troubled by sticky and oily skin in summer? Adopt this 5 step skin care routine

News India Live, Digital Desk: Summer season is quite challenging for people with oily skin. When sweat and extra oil mix with dust and dirt, the pores become clogged. To fix this, you need a proper and balanced skin care routine. Let us know how to maintain it. 5-Step Summer Skin Care Routine (5-Step Routine) Gentle Cleansing: Tip: Wash the face with a gel-based or foaming cleanser at least twice a day (morning and night).

Benefit: Toner helps in shrinking the open pores and balances the pH level of the skin. Lightweight Moisturizer (Water-Based Moisturizer): Tip: Those with oily skin. One should not skip moisturizer. Just make sure it is ‘non-comedogenic’ and water-based. Benefit: Hydrated skin produces less oil. Don’t forget the sunscreen (Matte Finish Sunscreen): Tip: Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 20 minutes before going out. Sunscreen with ‘gel-based’ or ‘matte’ finish is best for oily skin. Face Mask (Clay Mask) once a week: Tip: Use Fuller’s Earth or charcoal face mask. Benefit: Clay masks deeply cleanse and absorb excess oil accumulated within the skin. Quick Home Remedies for Oily Skin (Home Remedies) Tomato Juice: Apply tomato juice on the face. Extra oil is reduced and tanning is also removed. Cucumber pack: Rubbing cucumber juice or slices on the face provides coolness and keeps the skin fresh. Curd and gram flour: Gram flour absorbs oil and curd makes the skin soft.
