Now you can tease the sun with your glowing summer skin! 




The summer is back and its time to flaunt those cute little dresses and shorts while you hit the beach or soak in the sun by the pool. It is however important to be sun safe and skin smart before you bare your skin in the sweltering summer heat. Being the experts in skin care and understanding the needs of Indian skin, Kaya Skin Clinic has launched ‘Summer Joy’ - a range of services and product offerings, which will make your skin, look its best this March!

Dr. Sangeeta Amladi, Head-Medical, Kaya Skin Clinic, said “Our country has a tropical climate most of the year. Even before the mercury rises during summers there is need to take extra special care of your skin. The heat, humidity and harsh sun can play havoc causing tanning, pigmentation and sun burns. The skin gets oiler during summer which leads to acne breakouts. Prickly heat and fungal infections aren’t uncommon during this season either. In addition to following the basic daily skin care regime of cleansing, toning and moisturizing religiously, one must also be careful about the food and water intake. And of course, sunscreen is totally non-negotiable.”
Speaking on the new offerings, Dr. Amladi, adds, “We have introduced ‘Summer Joy’ specials, which will enhance one’s basic daily skin care routine and help enjoy flawless and glowing skin all through the season. The new special packages have been specially designed to tackle the problems of Indian skin for this extremely tricky season in which skin damage can have long term effects.”

‘Summer Joy’ Specials
To make sure your face is fresh, smooth and oil-free throughout summer, Kaya has introduced Oil Control Facial Services. Everyday Radiance and Aqua Radiance both with Oil Control Formula help reduce and control oiliness and tanning effectively and also exfoliate dead, lifeless skin. These special services also hydrate and moisturize the skin from deep within, for a fresh and radiant look.
As you get ready to get into your favorite summer attire and flaunt your skin this summer, make sure it is smooth and completely hair-free. Get rid of unwanted hair on the arms, legs, underarms and even your face with our special summer hair-free packages.

Follow these mantras by Dr. Sangeeta Amladi, Medical-Head, Kaya Ltd and bask in summer glory!
Cleanse the skin:
í      The skin sweats more in summer leading to increased dirt and grime. Try to wash the face with plain cool water every few hours
í      Cleansing is also of utmost importance, in order for grime and other pollutants to be removed completely from the skin.  Kaya’s Soothing Cleaning Gel helps in deep cleansing without stripping away essential natural oils.  It also makes the skin look and feel fresh after use.

Toning and moisturizing the skin:
í      Toning helps to tighten the pores and prevents spots and pimples.  It is recommended as a part of one’s nightly skincare routine, after the face has been cleansed.  In intense heat, one can refresh the skin even several times a day with a chilled skin tonic, such as Kaya’s Daily Care Revitalizing Tonic
í      A must for healthy summer skin is to drink at least eight glasses of water a day.  Staying adequately hydrated flushes out the toxins and keeps the skin looking fresh
í      If the skin is dry to normal or stressed out by constant exposure to air conditioning make sure you apply moisturizer to the skin before heading out. Otherwise apply the moisturizer at night before bed time on a clean face

Use sun protection:
í      For Indian skin use a broad spectrum sunscreen with both UVA and UVB protection and at least SPF 15.  If on vacation or outdoors, usage of sunscreen with SPF 30 is highly recommended.  SPF only measures UVB protection and not UVA; hence one should look for a sunscreen that also provides UVA protection.  It takes about 15-20 minutes for any sunscreen to give out complete protection, so apply it at least 20 minutes before stepping out in the sun. The product should be reapplied every 3-4 hours, if one is outdoors for long periods of time.  Kaya’s Sweat-Proof Sunscreen- SPF 30 effectively combats the harsh effects of the sun for up to 8 hours
í      The sun’s rays are the strongest between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. so it is advisable to limit exposure to the sun as much as possible, during these hours
í      Use sunglasses to protect your eyes. Try using an umbrella when you go out in sun. This will protect your skin and your hair
í      Indian skin, especially the lips are prone to darkening and pigmentation. Do use a lip balm with sunscreen to prevent darkening.

Exfoliate your skin:
í      At the start of the summer exfoliate your skin at least once a week to remove all dead cells and flakes left over from the winter. Exfoliate gently using micro beads as opposed to harsh exfoliation with larger beads as this can injure the skin and make it sun sensitive. After about 4– 6 weekly exfoliations, bring it down to once in 2 weeks in the summer

Shower tips:
í      A cool water shower cools the body and skin temperature and retains oils and moisture in the skin. Don’t dry the skin roughly with towel. Gently pat it dry. Do leave some moisture on the skin so that when you apply the moisturizer the skin can absorb it fully and seal it in.
í      Try and catch a shower twice a day, to feel cool and refreshed

Summer Diet Tips
í      A light summer diet is recommended, to keep one feeling fresh and hydrated all season long.  Foods rich in Vitamin A aid in protecting the skin from the sun.  Foods with abundant Vitamin C help in repairing sun-damaged skin.  These vitamins can be found in vegetables and fruit including carrots, papaya, black grapes, and green leafy vegetables
í      Water, freshly squeezed fruit juices, fresh lime water or soda, and light summer salads loaded with plenty of vegetables and fruit are all part of an ideal summer diet    
í      Don’t forget to drink at least 2 litres of water every day!

The summer is back! And its time to flaunt those cute little dresses and shorts while you hit the beach or soak in the sun by the pool! Kaya Skin Clinic presents “SUMMER JOY” – a range of offerings which will help you be Sun Safe and Skin Smart this March!
