Skin and hair expert Shahnaz Husain believes people often neglect hair and lips in their skin-care routine.

'Ignoring the hair and lips results in the hair becoming brittle and lustreless. Lips turn dry and chapped, "says Shahnaz. 

To avoid this, Shahnaz gives some tips.

Tips for your lips:

i. It's a good idea to apply a sunscreen sparingly, probably mixed with water, over the lips before stepping out into the sun.

ii. At the end of the day, after washing your face, rub the lips with a soft towel to remove the dead cells.

iii. Apply a few drops of pure almond oil over your lips and leave it overnight. This will make them soft.

iv. Almond oil cal lighten dark lips over a period of time.

While cleansing is important during the summers, both Kochhar and Husain say that overdoing it can actually harm the skin.

After cleansing, using a natural skin toner like rose water can do wonders for one's skin.
