4. Clothes: After wearing layers in winter, finally comes the time to flaunt those summer dresses but make sure to wear fabrics that are breathable for your skin. Avoid materials like polyester and try wearing cotton, linen and sheer, khadi and silk. These are soft and good fabrics for wearing in summer.
5. Mask: When you go out in the summer remember to cover your face and hair properly with a mask or bandana or handkerchief or stole to avoid direct contact with the sun and pollution and dust. Constant exposure to heat dulls the skin. And masks are still necessary for covid protection so that’s two birds with an arrow.
