Here are some ways to arm your skin against the harsh summer sun. Hydration is the key to healthy skin. So do not forget to stock up on water and aqua rich foodstuff such as fresh foods and vegetables. External hydration is also essential. Remember to moisturise your skin after taking a shower at least once a day if your skin is oily and thrice a day if you suffer from dry skin. Exfoliate your skin using a mild, deep facial cleanser to keep your skin smooth and clean.

Try avoiding skin exposure to the sun when it is the most powerful from 11am to 4 pm.

Do not use hot water on your skin when bathing or washing. It is advisable to go for gentle skin services like microdermabrasion or glycolic facials under medical supervision. Try to use minimal makeup because some fragrance and products can induce sunburn especially when the skin is exposed to the sun.[Source]Keep skin nourished with an herbal moisturizer your. Ayurvedic formulations that sandalwood, turmeric, Brahmi, Amla and Aloe Vera are the skin-friendly herbs look for. At least once a week, do yourself a fruit or vegetable mask appropriate to treat your skin type. Cucumbers, avocados, apricots and papayas lend themselves well to homemade masks. Puree fruit or vegetable and some yogurt, honey, oatmeal and lemon juice for oily skin (with a mixture) or rosewater (for dry skin) and apply evenly to face. Let stay for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with warm water [source]
