                                                   WHAT .  HOW . SOLVE

SWEAT . BAD ODOR

In summers, moisture tend to seep out of the skin pores. Due to heat reaction, fever or physical exertions sweat gets exuded. Let’s focus on heat reaction factor. At places with intense humidity, we sweat all day. No matter how less of physical exertion takes place, the sweat is our bae in summers.

     Normally sweat leads to some inappropriate reactions like bad odor,rashes and uneasiness.

Stay hydrated. Drink 3-4 litres of water daily. This will help us from getting rid of complete dehydration and c'mon we don't want to live with an ambiance of a desert right? It also reduces the pungent smell of our body with sweat.

Bathe daily. This may seem silly but bathing is very important. In summers, prefer bathing twice a day. We can't let the sweat rule us.

Diet. Odor of the body depends on the food we consume. Avoid garlic,onions,coffee. Eat more of citric fruits. Fish lovers eat white flesh fishes. This helps to reduce pungent body odor. 

 Beauty. Always keep beauty wipes handy so that we can cleanse our armpits at regular intervals.

TANNING

 Here comes a problem we hate the most. Having a dark skin tone is not a bad thing. All have unique & special skin tones. But when tanned we get dark patches & sunburns only at certain areas. It takes just 5 minutes to get tanned but to get rid of it we need months together. You don't want a multicoloured foot or body. So let us head into some precautions & remedies we can follow easily.

  

1. First and foremost always wear a sunblock. Apply it half an hour before stepping out to sun. Sunscreens are not meant only for summers. The UV rays we go through nowadays, sunscreen is a must have for all seasons.

2. Use face powder, face cream &  lip balms with an SPF to reduce the pigmentation.  

3. Most important thing is choosing the right sunscreen for your skin type.           

4. Rub tomatoes on the tanned areas. Massage well in circular motions. Tomatoes work   amazing in reducing the pigmentation.  

5.1 tbsp gram-flour + 5 tbsp milk, this paste works well for skin lightening.  

6. Olive oil + tea tree oil works well for sunburns (do not step out of the house when    applied).  

7. Umbrellas,hats and scarves are always a saviour to avoid direct harsh sun rays.  

8. Dried orange peel powder + aloevera gel + rosewater helps in detanning. This powder can also be mixed with any DIY masks.

Simple isn't it? You can almost see negligible tanning and start loving summers.

      ACNE

       This is the creepiest monster we face in summers. The rate of getting acne is the highest in this season. Oil is exuded in the pores of the skin and excessive accumulation of oil results in acne.Some skin types is prone to acne. But during this season everybody tend to suffer from acne problems.
