How to take better care of your skin in summer
Don't let the hot weather season cause your skin to suffer. Here is how you can take better care of it to ensure it looks healthy and radiant.
The weather affects how our skin looks.
For instance, in winter, the skin tends to be more dry.
However, hot weather increases water loss from the body. Some people will find themselves sweating and producing more oil.
This not only leads to dehydration, but it can affect how your skin looks and feels.
