Tired of your skin acting up? Do not worry! You do not need multiple skincare products to make your skin glow. Instead, a simple skincare routine can help in sorting out things for you. Read on to know more.

Step-by-step summer skincare routine:

The main purpose of the summer skincare routine is to beat the heat. Let us look at the skincare routine to beat the summer heat:

Morning routine:

• Cleanse: Cleansing helps in the removal of excess oil, dirt, and impurities. Cleanse once in the morning and double cleanse at night.
• Toner: Toner can aid in managing the skin’s pH levels. It can also help in preparing the skin for hydration.
• Serum: Serum can aid in maintaining the skin’s hydration status, brighten the skin tone, and reduce acne as well as breakouts. 
• Moisturizer: A lightweight moisturizer can aid in reducing dryness and strengthening the skin barrier. It can also boost skin glow and reduce sebum production. Our Lumidew moisturiser can help to lock in hydration.
• Sunscreen: Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to get protection from the summer heat. Reapply it every 2 hours to your hands, neck, face, and other exposed areas. Our Sunkissed hybrid sunscreen can protect against UV radiation.
• Lip balm: Use lip balm with SPF to prevent lips from becoming chapped.
  

Night routine:

• Double cleanse: Double cleansing with micellar water can help in dirt or dust removal.
• Toner: This is an optional step. Use alcohol-free toner.
• Serum: Use niacinamide, vitamin C, or hyaluronic acid serums. Our Lumi Night face serum contains all these ingredients, which can help in reducing dark spots and give clear, spotless skin.
• Moisturizer: A light-weight moisturizer can prevent pores from being clogged.
• Eye cream: Use eye cream to reduce puffiness around the eyes.

What are some tips for a summer skincare routine?

Some tips for a summer skincare routine are given below:

• Make sure to stay hydrated. Hydration can help reduce fine lines, promote better skin tone, and help your skin look youthful. Make sure to use moisturizers for this purpose, and also drink enough water.
• Avoid wearing heavy makeup, especially during the summer. This is because heat coupled with humidity is likely to result in sweating, and sweating, along with makeup, can clog your pores. 
• Wear protective accessories like umbrellas, hats, and scarves to protect yourself from sun exposure. Wear full-sleeved clothes to prevent excessive sunlight exposure.
• Focus on diet as well. Avoid consumption of fried, sugary, processed/packaged foods/beverages. 

What can you look for while choosing summer skincare products?

Some of the tips to look out for are as follows:

1. Go for non-comedogenic and light-weight creams or formulas.
2. Opt for moisturizers with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or squalane.
3. Make sure to match your products according to your skin type. For instance, if you have oily skin, you can opt for a water-based sunscreen. If you have sensitive skin, go for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products.
4. Go for broad spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin against both UVA and UVB rays. 
5. Choose fragrance-free cleansers with a pH around 5-6.

And there you go! Now that you know which skincare routine to follow, just bask in that summer glow and embrace your skin with confidence!
