It’s that time of the year when umbrellas come out. The synthetics will be a big no-no and the cotton will be our go-to fabric. We start raiding our fridge for the king of fruit (Mangoes, of course! Duh). The heat index is somewhere between OMG and WTH. it becomes impossible to sit without AC even for a minute.
Yup, I am talking about Summers.
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip of wine … it’s summertime!

Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam consists of coconut as its base. The effect of this oil is coolant, so this is the oil of choice in summers.
How does summer affect your skin?
- The scorching heat robs the water from the body, leading to dehydration. This makes the skin dry, irritated, and red.
- Our skin contains a pigment called melanin. And excessive exposure to the sun causes increased melanin production. This is the reason for the change in skin color (tanning).
- The ultraviolet rays cause major damage to the skin. Melanin protects skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. These can burn the skin and reduce its elasticity, if exposed to direct sunlight, leading to premature aging.
