Skin Care Tips: 5 Summer Coolers Thatll Nourish Your Skin From Within

If you thought it was just the winter season that casts a dry spell on our skin, then you are absolutely mistaken. Even summer can be really harsh on our skin. Picture this – when you just thought you got relief from the scorching heat by switching on the AC, you get to see your skin acting up with pimples and rashes. Let’s agree- we all have faced this situation at some point in time. Ever wondered about the reason behind these skin issues?! It’s because of the oil and water imbalance in our bodies due to extreme sweat and dehydration. While we can’t deny the importance of sunscreen and face masks to boost skin health, it is always advised to take extra care of our diet for nourishment from within (here, skin nourishment). And the first point to remember for a healthy diet is – to drink an adequate amount of water and other healthy drinks. A well-balanced water level in our body does half of the job seamlessly. 

Considering the above factors, we handpicked a few summer drinks that are cooling and delicious, and will help you get well-nourished and glowing skin from within. Let’s take a look.
