How to Protect Your Skin This Summer: Say Goodbye to Tanning, Acne & Dark Patches!
As summer approaches, skin problems like tanning, acne, perioral darkness (darkness around the mouth), and oily skin become more common. The intense heat, sweat, and sun exposure can make your skin dull, dehydrated, and prone to breakouts.
At Midas Wellness Hub, we see many clients struggling with these seasonal concerns—and most don’t realize how much their diet and skincare habits play a role. Let’s dive into the most common summer skin issues, how your diet affects them, and the best treatments to fix them!
Common Summer Skin Problems & Their Causes
1️⃣ Perioral Darkness (Darkness Around the Mouth & Chin)
🔹 Why it happens:
Sun exposure triggers melanin production, leading to pigmentation.
Vitamin B12 & Iron deficiencies can cause dark patches around the mouth.
Habits like frequent lip licking, friction from masks, or hormonal imbalances worsen the condition.
🔹 Diet Fix:
✔ Eat iron-rich foods (spinach, dates, beetroot, jaggery).
✔ Include Vitamin B12 sources (paneer, dairy, fish).
✔ Stay hydrated with coconut water & citrus fruits to boost collagen.
🔹 Treatments at Midas:
✅ Medi-Facial for Brightening – Deeply nourishes & evens out skin tone.
✅ Chemical Peels – Gently removes pigmentation for a fresh glow.
✅ Q-Switched Laser Treatment – Reduces dark spots & stubborn pigmentation.
2️⃣ Tanning & Uneven Skin Tone
🔹 Why it happens:
UVA/UVB rays penetrate deep into the skin, causing tanning & sun damage.
Pool water (chlorine) dries out skin, making it patchy & uneven.
Sun exposure leads to free radical damage, making skin dull.
🔹 Diet Fix:
✔ Eat antioxidant-rich foods (amla, berries, oranges) to fight sun damage.
✔ Consume beta-carotene-rich foods (carrots, pumpkin, mangoes) to repair skin.
✔ Drink coconut water & cucumber juice for hydration.
🔹 Treatments at Midas:
✅ HydraFacial – Removes tan & hydrates skin.
✅ Glutathione IV Therapy – Brightens skin from within.
✅ Laser Skin Rejuvenation – Repairs sun damage & restores an even skin tone.
3️⃣ Acne Breakouts & Oily Skin
🔹 Why it happens:
Summer heat increases sebum (oil) production, clogging pores & causing acne.
Sweat and humidity trap bacteria, leading to breakouts.
High sugar intake makes acne worse by increasing inflammation.
🔹 Diet Fix:
✔ Reduce fried, sugary, dairy-based foods, which trigger acne.
✔ Eat zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, lentils) to control oil production.
✔ Drink green tea & infused water to detox skin.
🔹 Treatments at Midas:
✅ Acne-Control Peels – Reduces oil & breakouts.
✅ Carbon Laser Peel (Hollywood Peel) – Deep-cleans pores & controls oil.
✅ Hydrafacial for Acne-Prone Skin – Removes blackheads & hydrates skin.
4️⃣ Dry & Dehydrated Skin
🔹 Why it happens:
Sun exposure strips the skin’s moisture barrier.
Sweat & pollution clog pores, making skin look dull.
Lack of hydration & poor diet leads to dry, flaky skin.
🔹 Diet Fix:
✔ Eat water-rich foods (cucumber, oranges, celery).
✔ Add collagen-boosting foods (walnuts, flaxseeds) for a glow.
✔ Avoid caffeine & excessive salt, which dehydrate skin.
🔹 Treatments at Midas:
✅ HydraFacial with Vitamin Boost – Restores lost hydration.
✅ OxyGlow Therapy – Oxygen infusion for plump, fresh skin.
✅ PRP Skin Therapy – Uses your own platelets to boost collagen & hydration.
5️⃣ Pigmentation & Sunspots
🔹 Why it happens:
UV rays increase melanin production, causing dark patches.
Hormonal changes (PCOD, pregnancy) trigger melasma.
Using the wrong skincare (harsh scrubs, over-exfoliation) worsens pigmentation.
🔹 Diet Fix:
✔ Increase Vitamin C intake (amla, guava, lemon) to reduce pigmentation.
✔ Eat glutathione-rich foods (tomatoes, avocados) for brightening.
✔ Avoid processed & inflammatory foods, which worsen pigmentation.
