In these hot summer days, it is very crucial to take care of your skin and hair. We tend to get dehydrated easily which affects our body, our skin and hair too, so this is the reminder to drink lots of water. The exposure of harsh sun affects our skin, UVB rays can cause a risk to skin cancer and UVA rays are responsible for skin aging, wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
I have been attending functions in these hot summer days and what kept my skin refreshed, hydrated and healthy in this unbearable heat and humidity are some of my all time favorite and essential products for summer.
1) Sunscreen
Sunscreen is must have not only for summer for all seasons. To protect your skin from harsh sun rays it is important to apply sunscreen. I have tried and tested lots of sunscreens and currently I am using this one from Minimalist, One of my current favorite sunscreen, it is very light-weight, non greasy and does not leave a white cast and absorb in skin very easily. It has broad spectrum that means it protects from both UVA and UVB rays and has SPF50 and PA++++. This will suit all skin type.

2) Face Moisturizer
These two are my go to moisturizers. The ponds one is very light gel based formula perfect for summer and it suits oily to normal skin type. This moisturizer is very refreshing and soothing to the skin. To get more cooler effect you can put this into refrigerator too. The Plum one is very refreshing, light weight, and very moisturizing. I generally use this one when I am applying makeup. it helps me to get that healthy glowy skin look. It suits dry to normal skin type. My skin is combination type so both the moisturizers work great for me.
3) Face Mist
I have been using the plum face mist both the variant (green tea, grape seed & sea buckthron) over four-five years now. I can not do without this product. It instantly hydrate my skin and it is so refreshing. I use this as my makeup setting spray too. I have come across this new face mist by Mario Badescu. It works well on my skin and suits my skin. It has four different variant and I have used two of them. The one with aloe, chamomile and lavender and the other one is with aloe, sage and orange blossom.
4) Lip Balm
Ever since I’ve got this burt’s bees lip balm I can not put this down. This one is the one of my favorite lip balms and the peppermint variant gives that refreshing mint sensation on lips when applied. It works wonder for chapped lips and it is very moisturizing. It is made out of bee wax and 100% natural.
5) Dry Shampoo
This one is a game changer for the oily scalp, specially on these summer days when the scalp tends to get oily very easily and you don’t have time to wash your hair every single day. This dry shampoo by Batiste instantly soak up the excess oil from your scalp and gives that freshly washed hair look. This one also gives the volume to the hair and it smells so good.
6) Perfume
For me, it is very important to smell good and in all this heat and humidity, we sweat a lot and perfume will keep you feel refreshed for long hours. Never skip wearing perfume on this hot sweaty days, Never. This two variant from Zara are my current favorites and I am obsessed with its smell. Applyjuice is so refreshing, pleasant, smells like spring to me and perfect for day wear and Violent Blossom is very romantic, pleasant, and perfect for night wear.
