As summer rolls down, there is one common problem that almost every person face due to warm sun rays i.e., dry and peeling skin. Though it is a natural process that your skin is replaced with new skin at regular intervals but it goes quite noticeable in summer as your skin is exposed to the sun for prolonged period of time damaging outer layer (epidermis) of the skin.

Peeling of skin is not a serious problem but the condition can be worse if your skin has started peeling after sunburn as it cause irritation, itchiness and severe pain. Freak not since there are many home remedies that you can try to alleviate the pain and peeling caused due to suntan.

Natural home ways and remedies to remove peeling skin in summers:

• Take a cool water bath

Take a cool water bath to stop your skin from peeling. Refrain from using soaps or bath oils as they can make your peeling worse.

• Moisturize your skin

Immediately apply a good moisturizer designed for sunburned or peeling skin when you pat dry your skin with a clean towel. Buy a moisturizing lotion which contains aloe vera as it acts as a coolant and soothes irritation. Extract fresh aloe vera gel and refrigerate it for further use.

• Treat your skin gently

Though it is understandable that you may try to pull your peeling skin off, but stop immediately. Let it slough off your body on its own. Instead of rubbing your skin after taking bath, pat it dry gently with a towel.

• Opt for the cold compress

For fast recovery from peeling of skin, place a wrung wet towel on the affected skin after soaking in cold water for 15-20 minutes.

• Stay Hydrated

Make sure to drink plenty of water as you sweat and urinate more during summer that dehydrates you making your skin dry that further conquers to peeling of skin.

• Cover your body

Though you may like to flaunt your real beauty by wearing shorts and sleeveless outfits, but choose to wear a dress that covers your body to protect your skin from damage caused by suntan. Wear caps, cover your face and hands while you go out.

• Milk

The presence of protein and lactic acid in milk work best for reducing inflammation thus providing relief. Mix 2 tablespoon of raw milk along with honey and apply it on the affected area for dealing with peeling skin.

• Olive oil

Olive oil has skin-nourishing fatty acids that prevent your skin from getting dry. If your skin becomes dry, don’t wait for making the situation worst. Slightly warm the olive oil, rub it on your skin so that the oil gets absorbed by skin. Apply the oil 2-3 times a day to admire beautiful moisturizing skin.

• Yogurt

Yogurt is one of the best home treatments of peeling skin because it is loaded with enzymes, acids, and minerals that makes yogurt a best moisturizing agent. Mix two tablespoon of yogurt and one tablespoon of honey along with ripe banana to make a paste. Apply it on the affected area to wash off with warm water after the paste gets dry.
