India is the one country that is home to people with various skin colours. Even though there may be preconceived notions about Indians having a wheatish skin tone, the colour spectrum in the country stretches further on both ends of the scale. Because of the population and pollution in the country, Indians have to deal with many skin problems. Here are some tips for Indians to gain better skin. Take a look-
Indian skincare tips
In India, the skin is exposed to a host of aggressors, that can very easily wreak havoc on its barrier. Pollution, humidity, excessive heat or cold, and UV exposure are some environmental factors in India that harm the skin. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is common among Indian women, that results in acne and oily skin. Also, the usage of drying chemicals found in soaps and cosmetics have a very bad effect on the skin. However, the following tips can help maintain the health of your skin-
Sunscreen
Sunscreen application is one of the most important and effective skincare tips. Along with sunscreen, physical protection in the form of umbrellas, wide-brimmed hats, scarves, and so on, are also equally important when out in the sun. Do remember to apply sunscreen on the neck, arms, and all other exposed areas, along with the face. Make sure to apply sunscreen even when the skin is getting exposed to sun, indoor.
Use quality products
Make sure to use skincare products that are free of any form of adulteration. Only use products that are good for the skin. Also, be careful of using the skincare products that suit a particular skin type- oily, dry, sensitive, acne-prone, and combination. Using quality skincare products that are made for some other skin type will prove to be of no good.
Healthy diet
Try sticking to a healthy diet as much as possible. Antioxidants and vitamins from food can also help tackle skin issues like pigmentation. Incorporate an exercise routine along with meditation as a part of your lifestyle in order to gain healthy and glowing skin.
