heat paint they’re caused by wind flow patterns that trap hot air in the place instead of cycling around the world wind stay set in areas like air inside an oven it occurs when temperatures in an area soar above the normal temperature for at least three days in a row so heat waves are the temperature changes that occur because of the environmental changes and as we know the lot of trees are getting cut and there are so many environmental damages which are occurring and there is global warming so as the ears are going by the
heat waves are increasing heat waves are something which has to be taken on a geopolitical levels to be control because we have to take care of nature in that but if there are warnings of the heat wave one can be careful while it is generally advised that one should not step out between 10 AM to 5 PM during heat wave conditions what can those people do who simply have to step out colors play a major role during all seasons on the Earth but maximum role is played when the Sun beats the pulp out of us to say stylish in summer colo
clothes and to beat the heat where white or light colored clothes preferably cotton or linen which are airy and Breezy because it absorbs very little Sun’s heat and keeps a body cool so before you step out in the sun next time remember to wear light and Airy clothes with video journalist vinod Kumar this is for India today your skin and your hair that’s where the most adverse impact of the grueling summer is really esteemed so what really is transition care from winter to summer why should you not be using the same
products for your hair and skin during Summers when you use them in Winter we tell you all about your skin and hair care routine in our next supports [Music] [Music] summer has arrived earlier than expected but are you prepared to handle your skin and hair with utmost care that it demands during the season [Music] clearly Karen Summers for skin and hair is very different from care and Winters the transition period is most important to begin with you have to change your sometimes your skin routine maybe within two three days
so what you do is don’t over moisturize your skin sometimes over moisturizing with the creamy and thick layer can actually give you a lot of acne and your sunscreen needs also to be changed because you don’t need to wear a sunscreen which is very thick now because too thick a sunscreen can also cause several damage to skin so use the sunscreen which is right for your skin type now many of you can have a dry skin or oily skin or mixed type of skin so choose a sunscreen right researchers about your skin and go to a
dermatologist first let’s talk about the mistakes that people tend to make we often neglect our hair since we can’t apply sunscreen to our hair it’s essential to cover the hair as much as possible to prevent direct contact with the scalp and keep harmful UV rays away attempting to resist but don’t overdo your pull time as the chlorine water in the pool can damage your hair and skin [Music] we avoid giving our hair oil massages during the summer because it’s naturally oily but regular oil massages are
necessary for your hair to increase blood flow clear away debris and exfoliate the hair follicles so hair and skin care oiling your hair during summer would be great not too much but once in two weeks or once a week can be great if your hair is very dry do not over indulge in coloring your hair or going for too much of dry hair dryer and blow drying or styling products you can be little gentle blow dry do not blow dry your hair rather air dry your hair doctors also say common mistake is to use the same hair and skin products
throughout the year foreign so what is it we must do exfoliate summer tends to cover our skin cells with oil which leads to acne and other skin issues therefore exfoliating is especially important during this time what a very big fan and you can handle it on a some Stoner which does not leave your face very dry then that could be great to use and in the night what I also recommend is you know sometime during Summers you can use exfoliating agents now these exfoliating agents should not be used Too Much once a week
would be great and especially you should use the exfoliating agent which has gentle small soft beads it should not be too harsh on your skin because remember it is causing a mechanical damage to your skin so use choose something which is very soft and gentle use sunscreen one of the most crucial Summer Skin Care steps is using sunscreen which you shouldn’t skip because failing to do so will expose your skin to direct sunlight which can result in pigmentation and Tanning leaving a moisturizer behind one of the
biggest blunders in summer skincare routine is to skip using moisturizer because of how oily our skin gets in the summer using moisturizer is essential and if your skin is overly oily you can use oil-free moisturizer for smoother skin replace the face wash you need lighter renewing face washes that help maintain your pH balance during the summer while moisturizing and nourishing face washes are needed in the winter use oil-free cleansers that don’t remove your Skin’s natural oils if you have oily skin
