Why is Summer Harsh on Skin?
Dry skin is as much a summer problem as it is a winter problem. The heat, humidity and air conditioning systems during summers can worsen dryness:
- Heat-induced dehydration ends up stripping your skin of water
- Air conditioning systems reduce humidity which ends up drying the skin out
- Using harsh cleansers can damage the skin’s natural barrier
- Further, UV rays weaken skin’s protective layer
And then what do you expect? Your skin is going to be flaky, dull and tight even when you are in the middle of peak summers.
Top Hydrating Ingredients to Look For
The right ingredients make all the difference when choosing a hydrating face wash. Look for natural enablers like:
- Cactus Flower Extract: enriched with hyaluronic acid properties, it offers skin the much needed hydration, restores skin elasticity and offers nourishment.
- White Haldi:loaded with anti-inflammatory properties works well to calm dryness, irritation and redness.
- Mulberry Extract:effective to protect skin from radical damage with its antioxidant properties.
- Hyaluronic Acid:for its ability to give skin the much needed moisture
- Glycerin: acts as a moisture magnet and is suitable for all skin types.
