SUMMERS :HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN

Ultraviolet A (UVA): The longest wavelength of the sun, which can penetrate your skin's deepest layer and Sun damage can activate free radicals which promote skin aging.
Ultraviolet B (UVB): This wavelength penetrates the skin's upper layer, and can cause sunburn, allergic reactions and skin cancers.
Ultraviolet C (UVC): These rays are filtered by the ozone layer and they're the most damaging rays.
Infra-red (IR): This is the "heat" from the sun and have negatively impact on collagen, elastic and your immune system.
Stay out of the sun between the hours of 10am and 3pm. The hottest part of the day during the summer is the most damaging time so avoid as much as possible exposer to the skin from  radiations. Get your exercise and activities done in the earlier, cooler hours, or in the later, cooler hours of the day.
Avoid spraying perfume on your skin in the sun. The paleness in perfume (especially in citrus perfumes) can permanently stain your skin when they react with the sun. During the summertime, it is recommended that you should spray fragrance on clothes rather than on  skin.
Wear protective clothing over your skin. A lot of clothing in outdoor stores and fashion stores has a UV protection rating cheek on them and if suits to your pocket use them;-
·Wear a hat. Your facial skin will benefit from a permanent ring of shade over it in the heat of the sun.
·Wear sunglasses to protect your sensitive eye skin (and eyes). Eyes are prone to melanomas and cataracts, and the sensitive skin around your eyes is prone to fast aging. 
Eat healthy foods. A healthy skin comes from eating well and summer is the ideal time to make dietary changes for the better. Cut down on sugar and refined processed foods which create unbalanced blood sugar Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, salads, steamed, raw, or as part of a recipe dish. include whole grains in your daily diet too, including the ancient grains.
·Yogurt is a healthy addition to your diet; just be sure it's sugar free and natural.
·No-fat or low-fat diets will cause your skin to dry, wrinkle and age You need essential in your diet to keep your skin moist and supple. The answer is to exclude unhealthy fats (hydrogenated, trans fats, and heat or light damaged fats) from your diet but to keep using healthy fats daily. Nuts and seeds and fresh fish are excellent sources of good fats.
Drink plenty of water. Hydrated skin is better skin and it's easy for skin to become parched during the summer months. Dehydration results in dry skin, frown-lines, spots, a sluggish complexion and a lack of "glow".Drink water regularly throughout the day, preferably between meals (drinking during meals can dilute the nutrients from food). Water will both hydrate your skin and flush out toxins that can mar your complexion
