Summer Skincare Hacks You Wish You Knew Sooner!

Most of us have a love-hate relationship with summer, don’t we? While we love relishing on mangoes, the summer heat in India is not joke. A 5-minute walk is enough to give us jitters and panting for water. Now, can you image the amount of torment that your skin undergoes every time you step out! Sure, SPF helps, but what about the excessive oiliness, dirt that sticks to the skin, and an overall dull-looking face? Fret not, these summer skincare hacks are going to help you breeze through these hot months! 

Coming home to greasy face during summers is no news, but this can be changed with a few tweaks. Firstly, indulge in double cleanse. The Mon Cherry Dirt Dissolving Cleansing Balm is a luxuriously creamy balm that melts into the skin and pulls out every residue of gunk and makeup. Once you do this, use a dime-sized amount of a gel-cleanser, like the Matcha Better Skin Detox Gel Face Wash and go over every nook and corner of your face. Once you splash it out, you’ll feel your pores breathing sans all the impurities! 

• Use Niacinamide 

This ingredient is a must-have during summers if your skin is oily and acne prone. You already know how summer heat and acne work in synergy to flare up your skin without mercy! But unless you have a niacinamide-infused serum in your routine, like the Bravocado Intense Brightening Serum you’re all covered. It has 2% niacinamide, bakuchiol and rice water that shrink pores, purify the skin, boost firmness, and soothe the skin. Your skin is going to be so happy! 

Adding layers on the skin is the last thing you want during summers, agreed. But what if it doesn’t really feel like an added layer? Our range of quick-absorbing, lightweight moisturizers will soothe your angered summer skin like no other! Take your pick based on your skin type. 

Oily/Combination: 

This skin type needs a lot of water to replace the excess amount of oil. We understood the assignment, and formulated the Chialeader Oil Control Moisturizer that has cactus water and chia seed that hydrate the skin; and calendula flower and rose myrtle fruit that controls excess oil. 

Acne-prone: 

For people whose oily skin translates into acne, summer months can wreak havoc on the skin. To prevent hell from breaking loose, you must include a calming, non-comedogenic, and intensely hydrating moisturizer in your routine. Hit that sweet spot with the Matcha Better Anti-Shine Moisturizer. This matte finish wonder is enriched with matcha green tea that prevents acne and boosts radiance. It also has the calming cica and chamomile, along with skin-brightening bakuchiol and licorice root. Now, that’s a recipe for healthy, glowing skin, isn’t it? 

Dry/Dull Skin: 

One rookie mistake that people with dry skin make, is slather thick moisturizers on their face, which in turn makes it super-dull. The solution is simple – get a lightweight moisturizer that deeply penetrates to hydrate and brighten the skin! End your search with the Mon Cherry Ultra Light Moisturizing Gel, which has a unique gel-to-water formulation and a plethora of natural ingredients that brighten, soften and deeply moisturize dry skin! 

There are people who under-estimate the benefits of a mist, and then there are those are mildly *obsessed* with them. Of course we want you to fall into the latter category this summer, and once you’ll know the benefits, you’ll readily agree too. Our Mama Cica Rejuvenating Face Mist will be your savior to beat and heat, and get that on-the-go burst of freshness. The Birch Please Moisturizing Face Mist will top up your skin’s moisture levels, and it’s great especially if you have dry skin. Just make sure to apply it from a distance and let it completely dry if you’re wearing makeup. You can also spritz it all over your face after every skincare step. This seriously moisturizes and adds a dewy glow! 

• Don’t Skip On Exfoliation 

More heat = more sweat = more dirt = skin problems. You can easily break this chain with a nice weekly or bi-weekly exfoliating sesh with our Yuzu Fine 2-in-1 Vitamin C Scrub And Clay Mask. Get rid of dead skin cells and unleash a healthy glow with this yuzu-infused scrub that has 3x more vitamin C, which gives your skin the TLC it needs! Plus, it contains apricot seed powder that gently exfoliates, kaolin clay mask that clears the skin, and watermelon that lightens dark spots. If we were you, we would place our bets on this scrub + mask marvel, for sure! 

Caring for your skin during summers is really easy once you figure out the basics. If you’re looking to build a fool-proof routine, this guide will help.
