Aslam-0-alikum Here are some Tips: * Avoid caffeine and hard drinks. * Try using an oil-free moisturizer if your skin feels too greasy in the heat. * When possible, avoid being in the sun. * Wear a sunhat. * Use a lip balm with sun protection. * Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. * Take small but frequent meals and avoid protein rich diet. * Do not use sunscreen after expiry date. * Recoat the sunscreen after swimming or being in water Drink lots of water through the day, not only to replenish moisture lost to the heat and sweat but also to help flush toxins out of the body and keep skin looking clear and lustrous. Herb or spice teas, made with skin-enhancing ingredients, offer added therapeutic benefit. To balance Pitta, choose cooling herbs and spices such as mint, cardamom and fennel. Stay away from iced beverages because they hinder digestion and can create toxins leading to skin breakouts.

Eat Pitta-balancing fruits, vegetables and herbs, which supply the skin with essential nutrients and come with free-radical fighting antioxidant properties while they help keep your skin cool. Carrots, lettuce, summer squash such as zucchini, celery, asparagus and leafy greens are good vegetable choices. Sweet juicy fruits such as pears, grapes, watermelon and mangoes both nourish and cleanse. Fresh ginger, cilantro, mint and basil add flavor and aromas to dishes without aggravating Pitta dosha. Milk is a cooling, Pitta-pacifying beverage that also supplies nutrients to your skin and helps to keep it from drying out. Drink a cup of milk every day, and also combine milk with ingredients like almond meal and rose water to make a Pitta-balancing skin cleanser. Enjoy Ur Summer 8)
