Summers have begun, and that means facing the intense heat and having to go an extra mile to care for your skin and protect it from the damage that may occur due to sunlight. Taking proper care becomes more crucial than ever, and SkinNSculpt a team of skin specialist doctors in Mumbai, bring to you a few steps that you can take to protect your skin from tanning.

• The first rule of summers is to slather on a generous amount of sunscreen over all your exposed skin every-day before stepping out into the sun. Remember to give your sunscreen time to absorb into the skin and so, make it a point to always use it at least 30mins prior to sun exposure. Use one which suits your skin type, with a minimum of SPF30 and maximum of SPF50. Also, look out for broad spectrum sunscreens which protect you from both UVA and UVB rays, as they are equally harmful for your skin. Re-apply once every four hours, and you might never have to say hello to tanning again!
• Get yourself peel-off masks which are a fun and easy way to brighten and refresh your skin, as they remove your dead skin cells very gently. Choose from a variety of fruit and anti-tan peel-offs, which work best for the summer months and put them on at least once a week. Give them a try to get glowing fresh skin in just under 15 minutes!
• Gentle scrubs are another wonderful way to get rid of accidental tans. Use scrubs about twice a week that have ingredients such as walnuts and apricots-since they are mild on your skin, and exfoliate your way to radiance.
• Lastly comes the most important part and that is to keep your skin (and yourself) hydrated by drinking lots of fluids all throughout the day. Water is super important for skin that glows from the inside, as well as fruit vitamins and pro-biotic nutrients. Make it a habit to have fruits or fruit juices (natural ones are the best!), and other super foods like yoghurts and natural smoothies. They will keep you hydrated and healthy, and your skin more prepared for all the harshness of the sun.
  Pro tip: Use umbrellas and wear cotton clothes to get an added advantage against tanning!
