One should use a mild scrub twice a week, says dermatologist Sachin Dhawan, along with several other skin care tips during summers.
Different
seasons require different tactics to maintain a healthy skin,
especially in a tropical country like India. The rainy season with
high moisture and sticky heat can leave your skin prone to bacteria.
Therefore, it is a must to know the right kind of care for your skin
type.
Today,
we have skin
care products not just for hand, but nails as well; not just for
the face, but for eyes, nose, lip and eyebrow as well. In such a
fast-growing industry, it can be excruciating to keep track of what’s
new, what’s old and what to even trust.
You
must have read thousands of tips from an equal number of portals.
Should you believe in the wonders they promise? Maybe. But how about
taking skin care tips from an award-winning dermatologist.
Business
Standard asked for skin
care tips from Sachin Dhawan, MD Dermatology, Skin n Smiles.
Here’s what he has to say for maintaining a healthy, rejuvenating
skin:
1.
Which SPF sunscreen to use during summer? And why is using an SPF so
important?
During
summers, one should use sunscreens that are SPF 30 and above. Using
an SPF is important to protect the skin from the harmful ultraviolet
(UV) radiation, which is not just limited to sun exposure. Smartphone
screen, computer screen, LED lights also emit UV radiations,
therefore, we should protect our skin by using a good
dermatologically tested SPF.
2.
How many time should one clean his/her face?
Twice
a day at least, one in the morning and another before going to bed.
It should be more frequent if you are out in dust/pollution or if you
are working out/sweating more on the face.
3.
How to keep skin hydrated during the summer?
Drink
at least three to four litres of water, and add fresh juices, coconut
water and citrus fruits to your everyday diet. Also, use an oil-free
moisturiser
