One of the biggest skincare mistakes that people make is that they use the same products all year round. While summer brings longer days and outdoor adventures, it also introduces several stress factors to your skin. These include high UV rays, increased humidity, and environmental pollutants that could destabilise your skin barrier. Therefore, it's very important to transition your skincare routine for the summer months. To help you correctly tailor your skincare regimen for the summer, we consulted the experts. Here's their best advice. "Summer brings several environmental factors that can affect skin health, such as sweat, UV exposure, pollution, humidity and dehydration," states Dr Nirupama Parwanda, dermatologist and founder of Zolie Skin. "During summer, your skin needs lightweight products, better sun protection, and proper cleansing instead of heavy moisturisers. The main focus should be on protecting the skin from heat and sun damage while keeping excess oil under control."

TL;DR

  • Summer skincare requires lighter products, stronger sun protection, and effective cleansing to manage excess oil, sweat, and UV exposure.
  • A balanced routine includes a gentle cleanser, antioxidant serum, lightweight moisturiser, and broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning.
  • Night routines should focus on repair with double cleansing, soothing toners, and barrier-strengthening creams.
  • Adjusting skincare for different skin types and avoiding common mistakes like under-applying sunscreen helps maintain healthy, glowing skin throughout summer.
