Deepika Shakya

Preventing acne during the summer can be achieved with some simple tips

Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and sweat that can clog pores and lead to acne.

Keep Skin Clean

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and help flush out toxins, which can prevent breakouts.

Stay Hydrated

Oil-free sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays without clogging pores or exacerbating acne.

Use Oil-Free Sunscreen

During hot weather, opt for lightweight, oil-free makeup products to prevent pore blockage and reduce the risk of breakouts.

Avoid Heavy Makeup

Choose loose, breathable clothing made from natural fibers like cotton to minimize sweat and oil buildup on the skin.

Wear Breathable Fabrics

 Avoid exposure to the sun, especially during peak hours, and wear a hat and sunglasses for extra protection.

Limit Sun Exposure

Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and limit sugary and greasy foods, which can contribute to acne.
