Summer – holidays have begun for our children. It is the perfect time to go for picnics, trips to beach, go for swimming classes, playing cricket in the hot sun, etc. Well, it is all enjoyable only when the sun does not affect us. Heat will make us feel thirsty. Therefore, we have to drink tender coconut, citrus fruit juices. Bananas and apples do wonder during summer. Another important thing that cramps our summer is the skin. Sometime we get rashes, prickly heat and the fear of getting dark. Our skin contains a pigment known as melanin. It is the natural protection against the ultraviolet rays of sun.
When our skin is exposed to the sun, the melanin cells multiply very fast and make the skin look darker. A sunscreen lotion and cream acts as a shield protecting us from the sunrays. Face is the most affected area. To protect the face getting darker, wash it very often. Extracts of Aloe Vera cool our skin and retain its moisture so that we look fresh despite the summer heat. Raw cucumber and carrots will help to keep our skin healthy. Mixture of limejuice with rose water enhances the color of the skin. Nature has provided lot of resources to correct the defects. Enjoy the summer sun without affecting our skin.
