An Indian summer is
anything but enjoyable! And if all that relentless sunshine, heat and water
cuts aren’t bad enough, the average guy and gal also has to deal with sunburn,
skin darkening, insect bites and more. Summer is also the ideal time to go easy
on chemical ingredients and opt of natural, soothing herbal cures. Presenting
some tried and tested herbal remedies for common summertime woes.
8 Best Summer Skin Care
Solutions For You
1. Insect Bites
Instead of scratching
till you draw blood, simply apply a drop or two of Peppermint Oil like ESP
Peppermint Oil - 10ml on the insect bite. It instantly cools
inflammation and increases circulation to the bite, speeding up the healing
process. No Peppermint Oil? Apply a dollop of minty toothpaste instead.
2. Sunburn
Bring out the Vinegar!
Vinegar contains acetic acid, one of the components of aspirin that soothes
sunburn pain, itching, and inflammation. Simply soak a few paper towels
with WOW Apple Cider Vinegar - Pack of 1 and apply on the
burned areas. Leave on till the tissue dries. Repeat if needed.
3. Heat Rash
Heat rashes are common in
summer especially if you sweat a lot. Mix a cup of baking soda and four drops
of Lavender Oil to a luke-warm bath of water. Alternately chill a pot of brewed
chamomile tea like Organic India Tulsi Honey Chamomile Tea (18 Tea
Bags). Dab a clean cotton pad in the mixture and apply topically.
4. Acne
Mix together three
tablespoon of Aloe Vera gel (like Vedic Line Natural Aloe Vera Gel -
Hydra10) and four drops Tea Tree Oil (like Nyassa Tea Tree
Essential Oil) and apply to the problem areas. Aloe contains ingredients
that kill acne causing bacteria while Tea Tree has powerful antibacterial and
antimicrobial compounds that zap zits.
5. De-Tan Face Pack
Tanning is a common
problem in summer. A healing, de-tanning face pack to the rescue! Mix together
one tablespoon of Sandalwood and two-three tablespoons of Rose Water (we
love Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water). The combination of soothing
and cooling Sandalwood and healing Rose Water makes it the perfect natural
remedy for getting rid of a tan.
6. Body Odor
This is meant for those
of us who sweat profusely. The heat only makes it worse and you can douse yourself
with Deo but body odor caused by sweat mixing with bacteria is a hard nut to
crack. Extra-virgin coconut oil like Kama Ayurveda Extra Virgin Organic
Coconut Oil is a powerful deodorant. It contains Lauric Acid that
kills bacteria that causes body odor. After a shower dab yourself dry and
massage a light layer of Coconut oil into skin. Voila! No more body odor!
7. Fungal Infections
Sweaty feet and closed
shoes are a recipe for disaster! Tea tree is a potent anti-fungal remedy. Add a
few drops of Tea Tree oil to a teaspoon of Almond Oil and rub into the affected
areas. Do this twice daily until the itching stops. Then continue once daily
for a few months until the fungal infection is nipped at the bud. Try HealthVit
Aroma Tea Tree Essential Oil and Aroma Magic Almond Sweet Oil.
8. Dry Skin
Simply mix the juice of
one lemon with five tablespoons sugar and one tablespoon of Olive Oil
like Fabindia Olive Body Oil. In the shower apply all over your
body with a loofah. Lemon contains natural alpha-hydroxy fruit acids to loosen
the glue that binds dead skin cells together, while sugar is a gentle
exfoliator that cleans pores and increases cell turnover. Olive oil is rich in
vitamin E to nourish and condition skin. Hello beautiful skin!
