Dry Skin
The number one effect on our skin during summers is dryness. And we all know that dry skin can lead to irritations and cracks, and may reduce our skin’s health, and have an impact on its appearance.

But, we also need to be aware to our skin and if finding it dry to take care of it as soon as we can – usually by applying skin cream with high percentage of moisture.
Damages Caused by the Sun
The sun takes its toll on our skin’s health – the longer our skin will be exposed to the direct sunlight, the more chances it will be harmed. Our skins is a very sensitive part of our body and be it exposed to the direct UV lights, the damage can be catastrophic. It can start with dryness and redness and lead to sunburns and even skin’s diseases. So, two things we can do: first – limit the direct impact by staying in under shade when outdoors, and second – use sunscreen and sun blockers to reduce the risk for your skin to be harmed.
Vitamin D
