In many countries around the world, summer means sunbathing, sun-tan or spending hours on the beach. But in a country like ours, with a high temperature and humidity, it means having to compromise with the brightness of your skin. Because in high humidity, the air contains a lot of moisture. As a result the pores on our skin opens up and starts to collect dirt and oil.
Besides, excessive exposure to the sun can cause permanent damages to our skin, such as blemishes and uneven skin tone.
Skin loses its brightness due to these, so we must avoid being exposed to the sun as much as possible. But in a country where its hot half of the year, it is not easy to avoid the sun. solution?

Regular exfoliation is very important to clean the dirt collected on your skin. Every 30 days, the dead cells on top of your skin decay and new cells are born. There are many ways to remove these dead cells. This process is called exfoliation. This process removes dead cells, deeply cleans the skin and gets rid of the dullness.

Orange peel improves the skin complexion and keeps your skin tone bright and glowing.
Olive Oil treatment
Olive oil is an excellent natural moisturizer. Its flavonoid and polyphenol controls the free radical production of our body. I’m sure you’re thinking right now, “Free radical! What is this?” Let me explain then.
Free radical is a kind of molecule which damages the healthy cells of our body. Our body produces natural free radicals to stay safe from external virus and bacteria. But excessive free radical damages the structural layer and the defensive barrier of our skin. As a result, we face problems like wrinkles, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and dullness.
So, to stay protected from these problems you can try this olive oil treatment. First, take 1 table spoon of olive oil, then massage it in a circular motion all over your face and neck. Now soak a towel in hot water and leave it on your face for a while. Repeat this process 2-3 time and finally wash your face.
These natural solutions will help you maintain a bright, healthy and glowing skin during summer. Aside from following these you must also keep in mind another very important thing, that is sunscreen! If you wish to stay protected from the UV ray of the sun, you must apply sunscreen before leaving the house.
