The reason behind is that during summers extreme heat cause skin a body to dehydrate, and eventually your skin becomes dry. Dry skin becomes dull and gets damages. Moisturizing your skin will keep your skin hydrated and will also prevent it from pollution, sunburn and bacteria.

Exfoliate-

Exfoliate to keep your skin clean and prevent the accumulation of dead skin cells you need to exfoliate your skin at regular interval. If dead skin cells form a layer on your skin, your skin is unable to breathe. It is always better if you use homemade exfoliators and market available scrubs alternatively. Do not exfoliate your skin daily or it will cause dryness, breakouts and rashes. Better exfoliate only two times in a week. Scrub gently in circular motion. Never peel before stepping out in the sun or swimming.

Drink lots of water-
