Summer means sun, holidays, and longer days—but also a season when your skin requires that extra bit of TLC. Heat, humidity, and direct sun exposure can kill the skin, causing it to breakout, hyper-pigment, tan, dry out, and sunburn. It is here that a thoughtful summer skincare routine becomes necessary in an attempt to achieve healthy glowing skin.
Here, we have our dermatologists provide a winning summer skincare routine along with expert advice on how to keep your skin protected, hydrated, and healthy during the summer season.
Summer sees your skin changed by:-
A summer regimen must follow all of these changes with priority on the following: sun block, moisturizer, cleaning, and light, non-clogging products.
Oil and sweat can clog pores and cause breakouts. Begin and conclude with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser which washes away oil, dirt, and sweat but won’t strip your skin of its natural moisture.
Recommended for:-
Tip: Wash your face twice a day—over-washing could deplete natural oils and lead to irritation.
A toner removes lingering impurities, balances pH, and reduces pores. To use during summer, use hydrating or soothing toners with:-
Toners also help cool and soothe the skin after sun exposure.
Aside from hot and humid conditions, your skin still craves moisture. Apply a light, oil-free moisturizer that hydrates without being oily or pore-blocking.
Best ingredients:
Oily skin types will love a water gel moisturizer. Dry skin might like a non-comedogenic lotion with ceramides.
Sun protection is the number one thing in your summer skincare routine. UV exposure causes tanning, pigmentation, wrinkles, and boosts the risk of skin cancer.
What to search for in sunscreen:-
Tips on application:
Exfoliating gets rid of dead skin cells, de-clogs pores, and allows for better product absorption. Over-exfoliating irritates in summer, so be gentle.
Types of exfoliants:
Tip: Do this at night and apply moisturizer. Avoid with sunburn or active acne.
Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, or green tea extract shield your skin from sun damage by free radicals, whiten the complexion, and prevent pigmentation.
Apply a Vitamin C serum every morning before sunscreens for extra protection and radiance.
Face masks add a second layer of care to calm, hydrate, and purify skin.
Best summer face masks:
Use 1–2 times per week depending on your skin type and needs.
Your skin mirrors what you ingest and consume. Dehydration will parch and fatigued your skin.
Even if sunscreen is applied, physical cover is essential. Utilize:-
Heavy makeup plugs pores and melts in heat. Alternatively:-
Excessive sweating and humidity lead to infection in folds of the body such as underarms, groin, or breasts.
Nature’s ingredients such as aloe Vera gel, rose water, and cucumber juice can soothe sun-exposed skin and help reduce inflammation.
Chill them and use as a soothing gel or spray.
Your skin renews at night. After washing, apply a moisturizing night cream or gel product containing ingredients such as:-
Avoid harsh actives like exfoliants and retinol if your skin is sunburnt or irritated.
| Problem | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Spots of Acne | Use salicylic acid, avoid heavy products |
| Sunburnt | Use aloe Vera, avoid the sun |

| Fungal Infections | Maintain hygiene, use loose clothing |
Although most summer skin issues can be relieved with regular maintenance, see a dermatologist if you have:-
Early intervention prevents long-term skin damage and maintains healthy skin year-round.
