The 'Natural' Skin Care Tips for Summer
Brought to you by NAVEEN Organics
In our part of Southeast Asia, it stays fairly constant throughout the year, with temperatures ranging from 30-33°C. June to August is driest, although flash thunderstorms and stifling humidity are never out of the question. For visitors traveling Asia in summer is enjoyable and exciting, but many destinations will be dealing with the combination of heat, humidity, and monsoon rain.

Asia’s bustling capital cities strived in the urban heat but for most visitors, it can become oppressive as you will be dealing with stifling heat and humidity one minute, and just so suddenly the rain clouds appear. But we should not let the weather get the better of us or worry about the havoc to our skin.
So what is it you should do to keep the skin damage to a minimum?
Here, NAVEEN Organics will be bringing you the Summer Series along with useful tips and product promos to soothe you throughout the rest of summer, no matter where you are.
Combat these hot weather issues with our top 10 tips for the Asian unpredictable summer weather.
1. Bumps & Breakouts
Breakouts always happen at the most inopportune of moments, don't they?
If you find a pimple, the natural solution is to soothe the head with warm compresses and tea bags. After you pop the pimple, boil some water, soak a tea bag, and gently press the tea bag on the area for as long as you can. But here’s our recommendation to prevent those nasty pimples: Cleanse and apply serum in the morning.
After cleansing your face with a face wash, apply a few drops of an antioxidant serum. By doing this you are providing your skin with the essential vitamins.
To prevent the bumps and breakouts, this rinse-off soft, bubbling mousse penetrates deeply into the skin to remove impurities caused by pollution, while respecting skin’s eco-balance. Thanks to its 100% non-irritating and natural derived amino-acid based surfactants formula to protect the integrity of skin’s natural defence barriers.
After cleansing your face with a face wash, apply a few drops of an antioxidant serum. By doing this you are providing your skin with the essential vitamins. Serum or essence helps the ingredients in your skin care to penetrate the skin better. If you have not tried including serum and/or essence in your skin care regime, it's never too late to give it a go!
In our hot and humid Southeast Asian weather, we especially love this Chamomile Moisturizing Essence because it simply is one of the best essences we have tried.
It's light formula is fast-absorbing and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. This gentle yet powerful essence is suitable for all skin types and most skin conditions. It contains chamomile flower water and aloe vera juice, two of the most wonderful ingredients for soft, fresh, and moisturised skin because of their anti-inflammatory contents.
It would be even better to combine it with your sunscreen. That way you can protect your skin from the wrath of UV ray’s preventing it from tanning. It also provides your skin with enough nourishment to get you through most of the day.
2. Skin Hydration
Asians in general, tanned naturally but for western visitors, a desire for a tan may leave you with a bit of a burn. The natural care solution for after sun care is rubbing plain yoghurt on your skin for 10 minutes will help restore your skin's natural barrier, especially if followed with Aloe Vera.
3. Red-Faced?
If you find yourself red-faced during the day, prepare a mixture of one-fourth teaspoon of salt and one cup of warm water. Soak a cotton ball or gauze pad in the solution, and then dab over the red spots.
The NAVEEN Solution: The facial sheet masks that have long been a staple in Asian skin care and beauty routine.
Why we love it: This world’s first Organic Cotton Facial Sheet Mask is fully soaked with highly concentrated Organic Certified essence:

4. Oily skin care in summer
If you find yourself feeling extra oily with no blotting paper at hand, don’t stress. Rub a piece of ice on your face to deter the oil glands if you’re within reach of them. Alternatively, here’s why We LOVE these:
The NAVEEN Solution for her
a. Other than the Chamomile Moisturizing Essence, which is great to keep oily skin under control, the Chamomile Moisturizing Lotion is another perfect solution for oily skin. The formula is super-light and will not leave you feeling greasy. Since it absorbs into your skin like a dream, it protects your skin from producing excessive oil.
b. The Rose Moisturizing Toner is almost heaven-sent. We love its soft rosy scent and we love it even more because of its boosting agents to help unclog pores and sloughs off dead skin cell, leaving our complexion looking clear, smooth, and even-toned.
The NAVEEN Solution for him
This is another light yet powerful essence to help combat oily skin. Made specially for Asian men's skin, NAVEEN Men's Oil & Shine Control is gentle enough on sensitive skin, but strong enough to keep the oil at bay. This essence visibly reduces the appearance of pores and shine.
With continued use, skin looks less shiny and pores appear smaller. Leaving skin feels soft, hydrated and comfortable.
The Men's Cleansing Mousse is also efficient in keeping oily skin under control. It's foamy and rich formula with citrus extract deeply cleanse the skin, leaving it fresh and supple.

5. Getting blackheads in summer?
Blackheads are the bane of our existence. You can get rid of these dark spots by cutting a lemon in half, sprinkling the insides with sugar, and then applying it directly to your face each night.
The NAVEEN Solution: Switch to a Lighter Cleanser and Moisturizer
Why? Because in summer, your skin is not as starved for moisture as it is in the winter. It doesn’t need a thick and heavy moisturizer. If you have oily skin, this is an especially important skin care routine for you.
The Chamomile Moisturizing Cream rejuvenates cells and improve moisture retention. It also visibly improves the appearance of fine lines, skin tone, texture and clarity over time.
Finally, don’t forget your sunscreen during the summer – apply sunscreen before make-up.
After you’ve cleansed your face and applied your primer, apply a layer of sunscreen. Make sure your sunscreen is a broad-spectrum that provides protection against UVA and UVB Rays. UVB rays cause tanning and UVA causes premature ageing of the skin. By practicing it daily, you provide your skins it’s optimum protection.
