6. Using soap based cleansers to clean your skin in summer season can backfire. Try using a non-soap or foam based facial cleanser. It drags out all the impurities and doesn't allow the skin to go dry. Avoid using scrubs injudiciously.

7. Wear those womens clothing made of 100 percent cotton only. They help your skin 'breath.' Wearing blended fabrics or polyester causes sunburns even if you have used a high quality sunscreen lotion.

12. Applying other body care products such as nourishing moisturizer before you apply sunscreen is a must. It prolongs the effects of sunscreens and prevents the skin from getting dried. Buy such one which contains Vitamin D and VitaminE.
