Hello good people.. I'm so glad to be here for quite another episode when we get to meet again and talk about how we can get to take good care of ourselves. We've always been encouraged to always put ourselves first and yes, that's the goal here at MWINGI TIMES in our column.

Let us all love ourselves in skincare./FILE

Well, the sun has been literally just slightly above our heads and ,huh, it's really burning up. You say hi to someone and the next thing they say is how hot it is. It might have gotten so hot until we forget that we need to keep on ties with the heat on our skin. We are all sweating and burning up. I want to share some tips with you on how to take care of your skin.

Starting us off, is the use of a sunscreen. Now, this should be your BFF. When many of us hear the mention of a sunscreen, they tend to think that this are products for rich people. This is not the case. These products come in different varieties and so are their prices. And again it does not mean that if it's cheap , it's a bad one. The most important thing to consider is your skin type. This will help you to choose the right product. A sunscreen should be applied often because of the constant heat.

Hydrate a lot. Take water like there's no tomorrow. If there is one thing that you'll be told many times especially by professionals in the field of medicine , is to hydrate. Water should be the next close thing to you. Water plays a key role in most of the metabolic processes in our bodies. When it's so heat, our bodies tend to lose heat through various ways like sweating. You should drink water as twice as you loosing it. Replace that lost water.

Engage in activities like swimming. Huh, I know this sounds so refreshing already. Let your body cool off and you can make the whole process fun. Take a long your friends and go for swimming sessions. By the time you're done , you'll feel so new.

Refreshing shower. At the end of the day, make sure you take a shower. This opens up the skin pores thus allowing your skin to breath. A cold water bath would make one feel so brand new.

Have a lip moisturizer . Now, if there is a part that we tend to ignore, is the lips. We lick our lips from time to time this causing them to so dehydrate. 

Having a lip balm or even Vaseline. Keep on touching your lips with the balm or some jelly. At least don't let your lips look so tired. They make your face not look so good.

These tips apply to both male and female genders. We are hit by the sun equally. Let us all love ourselves. This love will be depicted on how well you take good care of your skin. If you aren't doing this, it's time. 

I hope you all find this useful. Till next time , take good care of yourself and stay safe.
