Tips To Care For Your Sensitive Skin During Summers
Truth to be told, be it summer or winter, taking care of your sensitive skin is a time-consuming process and demands proper care. To fight your sensitive skin in summer, along with summer face packs, you should also keep an eye on some of your daily practices. Here are some tips to take care of your sensitive skin-
Facial Cleansing:
Cleansing is extremely important for all kinds of skin. For sensitive skin, you need a gentle cleanser but effective. Find a cleanser that suits your skin type without over-drying it, yet still, removes the build-up of pollutants and dirt. We recommend you to try the Pilgrim Volcanic Lava Ash Face Scrub with Yugdugu & White Lotus. It helps remove dead skin cells and impurities, giving your skin the much-needed glow.
Avoid Hot shower:
Hot shower might not be the ideal option for you if you are struggling with sensitive skin. The hot water strips away natural oils and damages the skin faster. So opt for cold or lukewarm water.
Sunscreen:
The importance of sunscreen can never be overstated. UVA and UVB rays are harmful to your sensitive skin. Not only the rays can cause skin rash and uneven tanning, but can also lead to premature aging, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, etc. Investing in a good sunscreen is a must for everyone. Try Pilgrim White Lotus Day Cream SPF 50 with Camellia & Yugdugu. Built with SPF 50, the cream not only helps protect from the sun but also controls sebum and improves the elasticity of the skin.
