Summers are here and it's time to redefine your summer wardrobe and skincare routine. Well, with summer fashion, stocking your wardrobe with breathable and light cotton clothes will help you stay cool and enjoy the weather. However, when it comes to the summer skincare routine, things might be more complex. Often, your skin bears the adverse effects of the scorching summer heat in various ways.
The weather transition can stress your existing skin conditions which may take considerable time to cure and restore the youthful and healthy appearance of your skin. So, whether you have oily, combination, or dry skin type, this ultimate skincare guide will help you devise the perfect skincare routine throughout the season!
Importance of Having Summer Skincare Routine Based on Skin Type:
Before we dive deep into different skin routines, it is vital to understand why you need a summer skincare routine in the first place. During summer, our skin experiences certain changes that can lead to skin issues such as sunburn, rashes, tanning, hyperpigmentation, breakouts, acne, heat boils, and more. Simply washing your face several times a day or skipping on moisturisers, can do no good to your skin. Instead, it can contribute to new and stubborn skin issues that you may or may not be familiar with.
A healthy and right skincare routine can do wonders, making your skin appear hydrated, fresh, and radiant which is always ready to beat the heat. Additionally, it is also vital to remember that different skin types require unique skincare routines that help combat sun damage, humidity, and common skin conditions based on your skin type.
If you experience dryness right after taking a bath, have a constant feeling of facial skin tightness, and more, you probably have a dry skin type. On the other hand, if your face feels shiny, you experience excessive sebum production, and have to bear constant acne and breakout issues, you may have an oily skin type. Combination skin types usually have a skin type which is a mix of dry and oily skin types such as oily and dry spots on your face, breakouts and dry patches at the same time, large pores in T-zone, and more. Now that you have understood your skin type and the importance of a summer skincare routine, let us explore the different skincare routines suitable for your skin.
