Beat the heat: 8 essential skincare tips for surviving Indian summer

By Vivek Dubey

Indian summers can be harsh on your skin. Discover 8 essential skincare tips that can help you maintain a radiant and healthy complexion during the hot season.

Hydrate Religiously

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and glowing. It helps flush out toxins and maintain skin elasticity.

Sunscreen is Key

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. It protects your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliating your skin twice a week removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores and allows your skin to breathe.

Moisturise Daily

Use a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser. It helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance and prevents dryness.

Cool Showers

Opt for cool showers over hot ones. They help retain skin’s natural oils and prevent it from drying out.

Healthy Diet

Include fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants in your diet. They fight free radicals and give you a radiant skin.

Minimal Makeup

Avoid heavy makeup and let your skin breathe. If necessary, opt for waterproof and non-comedogenic products.

Night-time Care

Apply a good night cream before bed. It repairs skin damage and rejuvenates your skin while you sleep.
