Easy to follow tips to keep your Skin healthy this Summer

As you prepare to beat the summer heat and have a blast being outdoors, don't forget to prepare your skin and body to face the harsh weather.

Here are some simple easy-to-follow tips for a healthy, glowing skin this summer :

• Keep yourself hydrated - Summers mean scorching sun and that would lead to internal dehydration. So make sure you always keep a bottle of water with you to keep yourself hydrated at all time. Intake of atleast 7-8 glasses of water daily would not only help maintain critical moisture balance of your body and skin but also assist in detoxification.

• Apply Sunscreen daily - Religiously apply a sunscreen atleast 30minutes before you go outdoors and re-apply every 2-3hours for better protection from harmful sunrays. If you are not sure which sunscreen would suit your skin, read our last blog post where we covered the different types of sunscreens and SPFs. We also recommend you to use Bio Morning Nectar SPF 30 Eye Cream to protect your eye area and Bio Morning Nectar SPF 30 lip balm that lightens and protects your lips.

• Exfoliate gently - Exfoliation becomes a necessary step to follow in summers to make way for a clearer, smoother skin. A gentle exfoliating product like Bio Papaya tan-removal scrub would help remove dead skin cells and remove tan from your sun-exposed skin. Ideally, you should exfoliate your skin in the mornings before the application of toner, moisturizer, SPF and make-up.

• Soothe your skin - After continuous sun exposure in summer, it becomes really important to soothe and refreshen your skin with cooling gels or balms to help prevent peeling or redness. We recommend you to use Bio Almond oil cleanser which would help wash away any makeup or impurities, and leave your skin feeling fresh. You can also make Bio Cucumber toner a part of your daily skincare regime, which is an effective cooling toner suitable for normal to oily skin.

• Eat nutritious food - In summers, your body is not able to digest all the heavy foods, fast food and fried dishes, therefore you should eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables to keep yourself healthy. Fruits like watermelons, berries, and vegetables like cucumber, other leafy green vegetables contain essential nutrients that will keep you hydrated during hot summer days. 

• Wash your Makeup Brushes Every Week - During summers, your skin becomes oilier and produces bacteria which may get caught up in the thin bristles of your makeup brushes. Using such brushes may clog your pores leading to breakouts or acne. Therefore, you should wash your makeup brushes every week and dry them in a glass in the sun to kill the bacteria.

These simple tips would make you glow all day long and stay healthy all summer.

Skin Care Tips for the changing weather | Spring Skin Care

With the rapidly changing weather, it's not only time to update your wardrobe but also to reassess your skin care regime. Because the skin care regimen you have been following in the harsh winter weather, might not be the best for your skin in the spring's challenging conditions.

Since spring is a time of sunshine, humidity and heat, your skin needs lot of pampering. But you need not worry as we get you covered with these amazing skin care tips to follow this changing weather:

• Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen - Yes! The most important part of your skin care routine should be religiously applying a quality sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful sunrays. We recommend that you use Bio Carrot sun lotion which contains SPF 40 UVA/UVB to give you the utmost protection. If you have an oily skin, Bio Aloe Vera would be perfect for you as it has the goodness of pure aloe vera, sunflower and safflower oils along with SPF 30 UVA/UVB sunscreen.

• Hydrate yourself - While in winters your body could manage working on less water intake, but don't neglect drinking water in spring as the harmful UV rays can dehydrate your body badly. Make sure to carry a water bottle wherever you go and have atleast 10-12 glasses of water each day. You can use Bio Honey Water to refreshen and tone your skin.

• Cleanse to prevent oil - Higher humidity could lead to sweating and could also increase the oil flow of the skin. You can prevent this by cleansing your face well on a daily basis. Bio Honey Gel hydrating foaming cleanser is an excellent cleanser to use in spring as it has a 100% soap-free hydrating formula enriched with pure honey. If you have an oily skin, we recommend you to try Bio Pineapple cleanser which is an excellent Oil control foaming cleanser. You can use these products morning and evening or as required even during the day.

• Exfoliate more - Spring is the perfect time to scrub off the accumulated dead skin over the winter and get a fresh, radiant and youthful glow. You should exfoliate your skin gently atleast three times a week to stimulate your skin's natural cell renewal process. We recommend you to try Bio Papaya scrub which helps in dissolving dead surface cells, unclog pore openings and smoothen the skin.

• Rejuvenate yourself - One should also not neglect the need of rejuvenating their skin at short intervals to distress themselves and maintain the skin’s glow. Bio Dandelion with its anti-ageing and lightening properties is an amazing product to pamper your skin. 

• Get that Pedicure done – Don’t forget to give extra care to your feet now that they would be out from those socks, bellies or shoes. Take a pedicure appointment in your favorite salon or try an at-home pedicure followed by a foot massage using Bio Costus cream which helps soothe tired feet and improve circulation.
