Monitor your liquid intake
Keep your body hydrated by maximising your liquid intake. Aim to drink water regularly throughout the day, and consider adding variety with homemade beverages like lemon water or mint-infused water. Indulge in refreshing fruit juices such as watermelon or orange juice to stay hydrated and energised.

Consume  light and healthy foods
Opt for light, hydrating foods like salads, fresh fruits, and vegetables to fuel your body and improve your digestion without weighing you down during the summer heat. Keep a check on your diet and avoid over-stuffing yourself. 

Shield your skin
Maintain sun protection while enjoying outdoor activities by applying sunscreen regularly. This will help you protect your skin from dreaded sunburns and tan. We recommend you to add rejuvenating Vitamin C creams and sunscreens to your skincare kit. 

Prioritise rest
Create a calming bedtime ritual, such as reading or gentle stretching, and limit screen time before bed to improve sleep quality and calmness in your life.

Dress cool, stay cool
Choose loose-fitting, breathable clothing made from natural fibres like cotton or linen to stay comfortable in hot weather.

Cultivate inner peace
Practice a few activities to enhance your mental health and reduce stress during the summer months like meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature. Scheduling regular breaks throughout the day to relax and rejuvenate will help keep your mental peace intact.

Take daily showers and wash your face frequently
Opt for daily showers to beat the summer heat while maintaining personal hygiene. Bathing daily is crucial during hot weather as the temperature soars and cleansing your face frequently helps you combat summer sweat. Choose shower gels infused with refreshing ingredients like green tea, mint, and lemongrass and add some soothing face wash to your daily skincare regime. Photos Courtesy: iStock
