Summer doesn’t have to be sticky and uncomfortable. A few smart skincare swaps and some extra hydration can go a long way in helping you stay cool, fresh, and radiant.
With a few small tweaks, you can beat the sweat and stay glowing all season long. (In frame: For Shriya Saran, eating a balanced diet and getting enough sleep is also a part of her skincare. )
Let’s be real—summer is great for mangoes and vacations, but not so great for your skin. The constant sweating, clogged pores, and stickiness can make even the best skincare routine feel pointless. But don’t worry! With a few small tweaks, you can beat the sweat and stay glowing all season long.
1. Start With a Gentle Cleanser
A clean face is the first step to staying fresh. Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser twice a day to wash off sweat, dirt, and oil without drying out your skin. Look for ingredients like salicylic acid or tea tree oil if you’re prone to breakouts.
2. Swap Heavy Creams for Lightweight Moisturizers
Thick creams and summer humidity? Not the best combo. Instead, switch to gel-based or water-based moisturizers. They hydrate your skin without making it feel greasy. Bonus points if it has soothing ingredients like aloe vera or cucumber.
3. Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable
Sweat or no sweat, SPF is a must. Choose a lightweight, mattifying sunscreen that won’t clog pores. Many sunscreens now come with anti-sweat or oil-control formulas, which are a blessing in the heat.
4. Blot, Don’t Powder
Instead of layering on powder when your face feels shiny, carry blotting papers. They soak up excess oil and sweat without messing up your makeup or skincare.
5. Stay Hydrated, Inside and Out
Hydration is key. Drink water throughout the day and spritz your face with a refreshing mist when it feels too hot. Rosewater or green tea sprays are calming and super refreshing.
