उन्हाळ्यात वाढलेले तापमान, घाम आणि धूळ यामुळे त्वचेवर विविध समस्या उद्भवू शकतात. उन्हामुळे त्वचा कोरडी होऊ शकते, टॅनिंग (त्वचा काळी पडणे), पुरळ, सनबर्न आणि अति तेलकटपणा यासारख्या समस्या निर्माण होऊ शकतात. अशा वेळी योग्य त्वचा निगा आणि आयुर्वेदातील शुद्ध नैसर्गिक उपाय अवलंबल्यास त्वचेचे आरोग्य टिकवता येते.

उन्हाळ्यात त्वचेची काळजी कशी घ्यावी?

(१) त्वचेला हायड्रेट ठेवा

उन्हाळ्यात जास्त घाम आणि उष्णतेमुळे शरीरातील पाणी कमी होऊ शकते, त्यामुळे त्वचा कोरडी आणि निस्तेज होते. त्यामुळे दिवसाला किमान ८-१० ग्लास पाणी प्या. याशिवाय नारळ पाणी, ताक, सूप, आणि फळांचे रस यांचा समावेश करा.

(२) हलका आणि नैसर्गिक आहार घ्या

उन्हाळ्यात शरीराला आतून थंडावा देणारे पदार्थ खाणे गरजेचे आहे. ताजे फळे, हिरव्या पालेभाज्या, ताक, काकडी, कलिंगड यासारख्या थंडसर पदार्थांचा आहारात समावेश करा.

(३) त्वचेची योग्य स्वच्छता आणि मॉइश्चरायझिंग करा

दिवसातून दोन वेळा सौम्य फेसवॉश किंवा आयुर्वेदिक उटणे वापरून चेहरा स्वच्छ करा.

तैलकट त्वचेसाठी गुलाबपाणी किंवा एलोवेरा जेल लावा.

कोरड्या त्वचेसाठी दुधात मिश्रित मध किंवा ग्लिसरीन वापरा.

घामट भागासाठी (मान, काखा) अँटी-फंगल पावडर किंवा गुलाबपाणी वापरा.

(४) सनस्क्रीनचा वापर करा

उन्हात बाहेर जाताना किमान SPF ३० किंवा त्याहून अधिक असलेला सनस्क्रीन लावा. उन्हामुळे त्वचा टॅन होते आणि वृद्धत्व लवकर दिसू शकते, त्यामुळे सनस्क्रीन नियमितपणे वापरणे आवश्यक आहे.

(५) हलकी व आरामदायक कपडे परिधान करा

कापसाचे आणि सुती कपडे परिधान करा, जे त्वचेला श्वास घेण्यास मदत करतील आणि उष्णता टाळतील. शक्यतो हलक्या रंगाचे कपडे घालावेत.

• Minimal downtime:

Most people can resume normal activities immediately following treatment, with minimal recovery time.
