“Garmi mein toh dil bhi pighal jaata hai… aur skin bhi.” Honestly, every time I step out in Delhi’s 2 PM heat, I feel like background dancers in that song “Saki Saki” — full sweaty, full shiny, but not in a cute highlight way. And let’s be real: summer is when your skin needs a real army, not just a fancy moisturizer you saw in a reel.
This guide is my no-nonsense, dermatologist-inspired, slightly sarcastic breakdown of how to keep your face glowing (not dripping) this summer. Ready? Chalo, let’s dive.
Hot weather isn’t just about sweating out your brunch mimosas — your skin literally changes gears.
📌 Research shows that high humidity increases transepidermal water loss, meaning your skin loses hydration faster even when it feels sticky.
Because honestly, if you don’t have a plan, your skin will make one for you (and it involves pimples).

Skin care isn’t just bottles and jars — it’s also how you live.
💡 Dermatology studies link high-sugar, processed diets with more breakouts in hot months. Swap chips with chana and thank me later.
Q. Can I skip moisturizer in summer?
Nope. Just swap to gel-based or water-based. Even oily skin needs hydration.
Q. How often should I exfoliate?
1–2 times a week max. Over-scrubbing makes your skin more sensitive to sun.
Q. Is aloe vera enough as sunscreen?
Big no. Aloe is soothing, not protective. Sunscreen is still your bestie.
Q. Can diet really change my summer skin?
Yes. Antioxidant-rich foods and enough hydration help control oxidative stress and oil imbalance.
Summer skin care isn’t about hoarding 15 products — it’s about being consistent with a few that work. If you treat your skin like a pampered friend (not like a stubborn ex), it will thank you with glow even in May heat.
So this season, flaunt your skin, not your sweat. And remember: “Naach meri rani… par sunscreen laga ke.” 😉
