Summer is all fun and games until your skin starts acting like it is on a drama spree. Pimples, tanning, oily T-zone, dry patches become a part and parcel of the season regardless of the skin typ. But what if the real villain is not the season, but a few silly skincare mistakes we keep making without even realising? Let us spill the tea on the worst summer skincare mistake and how to avoid it like a pro.

Skipping Sunscreen Is Like Inviting the Sun to Roast You

Yes, you heard it right. If you are stepping out without sunscreen, you might as well ask the sun to give you a free tan and a bunch of pigmentation spots. Skipping sunscreen is hands down the worst summer skincare mistake. And no, applying it once in the morning is not enough. Choose a good broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 or more and reapply every two to three hours. Whether it is sunny, cloudy, or even if you are chilling indoors near a window, sunscreen should be there on your skin, it’s a must-have in every season!

Face Wash Frenzy and Harsh Products Are Not the Solution

We get it. Your skin feels greasy and sweaty, but washing your face five times a day is not going to solve anything. In fact, it is one of the most common summer skincare mistakes. Over cleansing strips the skin of its natural oils, leaving it confused and cranky. Stick to cleansing twice a day and use something mild. Also, keep those alcohol loaded toners on pause. Gentle is the vibe this season. Explore some of the best, nourishing and mild face care essentials for summer here!

Ditching Moisturiser Is a Rookie Move

Just because it is hot outside and you tend to sweat a lot, does not mean your skin does not need hydration. That is one big skincare mistake people make in summer. Swap your thick winter creams for a light moisturising cream that hydrates without making your skin feel like a frying pan. Skipping this step in your summer skincare routine can lead to dull, flaky skin and who wants that in their selfies?

• Wear airy cotton clothes to avoid heat rashes and body breakouts
