With the heat increasing and the sun becoming brighter, our skin needs a special summer skincare routine to remain healthy, hydrated, and radiant. The high heat, humidity, and greater sun exposure can cause skin issues such as sunburn, dehydration, and acne. At Dr. Disha Hair and Skin Clinic, we offer professional advice on the optimal summer skincare routine to make your skin look and feel perfect all summer long.
1. Cleanse Your Skin Twice a Day
In the summer, there is excessive sweat, oil, and pollution in the environment can block pores and lead to breakouts. A mild yet effective cleanser is needed to have clean and fresh skin.
- Use a light, gel-like or foaming cleanser that takes off dirt and oil without drying out the skin.
- Look for ingredients likes salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or tea tree oil if you have oily or acne skin.
- For dry skin, use a hydrating cleanser with aloe vera or hyaluronic acid.

2. Exfoliate Regularly for Clear Skin
Exfoliation is crucial to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and enhance skin brightness.
- Use a mild exfoliant 2-3 times a week to avoid over-exfoliation, which can lead to sensitivity.
- Choose chemical exfoliants like AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) for a deeper cleanse.
