Summer Protection

Summer skincare is all about protection, hydration, and prevention to keep skin healthy and radiant under the sun. A lightweight, broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential for UV defence, while antioxidant-rich serums like vitamin C help combat free radical damage. Opt for hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizers to maintain skin balance and avoid clogged pores in humid weather. For ultimate summer protection, medical-grade sunscreens, serums, and after-sun care ensure maximum defence against sunburn, premature aging, and dehydration.

We’ve answered your common questions about Summer Protection.

Can summer cause dry skin?

Yes! While summer is often humid, factors like sun exposure, chlorine from pools, salt water, and air conditioning can strip your skin of moisture, leading to dryness, irritation, and flaking. Using a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen helps lock in hydration and prevent damage.

How to get glowing summer skin?

For radiant, glowing summer skin:
- Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells.
- Use a vitamin C serum to brighten and protect against free radicals.
- Stay hydrated and apply a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer.
- Always wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to prevent sun damage and dullness.

How to care for my skin in summer?

- Cleanse twice daily to remove sweat, oil, and impurities.
- Apply antioxidants like vitamin C for sun protection and brightness.
- Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to prevent clogged pores.
- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and reapply every 2 hours.
- Stay hydrated and opt for soothing ingredients like aloe vera after sun exposure.

What is the best summer skincare?

The best summer skincare routine includes:
- Gentle cleanser to remove excess oil and dirt.
- Antioxidant serum (Vitamin C) to prevent sun damage.
- Lightweight moisturizer with hyaluronic acid for hydration.
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+ or higher) for UV protection.
- After-sun care with aloe vera or soothing ingredients for skin recovery.

Can summer cause itchy skin?

Yes! Summer can cause itchy skin due to heat, sweat, sunburn, and chlorine exposure. Dryness from air conditioning or overexposure to the sun can also lead to irritation. Using hydrating skincare, avoiding harsh soaps, and applying a soothing moisturizer with ceramides or aloe vera can help prevent itching.

Is your routine all set?

A full skincare routine is essential because your skin needs more than basic cleansing and hydration to stay healthy. Cleansers remove dirt, but serums target specific issues like aging or dark spots, while moisturizers lock in hydration and sunscreen protects from damage. Investing in the full routine ensures long-term skin health and visible results.
