Why Summer Skincare Needs a Special Approach
Summer in Dhaka means higher humidity, stronger sun, more sweat, and excess oil production. These conditions can lead to:
- Clogged pores
- Frequent breakouts
- Uneven skin tone
- Sunburn or tanning
- Dehydrated skin despite the humidity
Understanding these challenges is the first step toward improving a skincare routine that keeps your skin calm, clean, and comfortable.
Cleanse Smart: Choose a Lighter Cleanser for the Season
Why Your Regular Cleanser May Not Work
During winter, your skin craves moisture, so heavier, cream-based cleansers are ideal. But summer demands something different.
Expert Advice
Use a gentle gel-based or foam cleanser that removes sweat, sunscreen, and oil buildup without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Cleansing twice daily—morning and evening—is a must to avoid clogged pores.
Pro Tip: Look for tea tree oil, salicylic acid, or green tea extract.
Exfoliate — But Gently
Why Exfoliation Is Crucial in Summer
Excess sweat and sunscreen can lead to a buildup. Regular exfoliation clears dead skin cells and helps your serums and moisturisers absorb better.
How Often Should You Exfoliate?
Exfoliation to 1-2 times per week using a mild scrub or an enzyme-based exfoliant. Avoid harsh scrubs that can cause micro-tears, especially after sun exposure.
Moisturising in Humid Weather
Do You Still Need a Moisturiser in Summer?
Yes! Even if your skin feels oily, not to use moisturiser can trigger more oil production.
What Kind of Moisturizer Should You Use?
Opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic, gel-based moisturisers. Search for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe vera.
Spa Insight: Moisturising after cleansing helps lock in hydration and keeps your skin barrier healthy.
Serums Are Your Skin’s Best Friend
What Do Serums Do?
Serums deliver a high concentration of active elements straight into your skin. They help tackle oiliness, acne, dehydration, and dullness.
Recommended Summer Serums
- Hyaluronic acid for hydration
- Niacinamide to reduce oil and tighten pores
- Vitamin C for brightening and sun damage prevention
Apply serum after cleansing. And before moisturizing for maximum benefit.
The Golden Rule: Wear Sunscreen Daily
Why Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable
Sunscreen supports your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays .It causes premature aging, sunburn, and even skin cancer.
Choosing the Right Sunscreen
- At least SPF 30
- Broad spectrum coverage
- Water-resistant
- Non-greasy and suitable for oily or combination skin
Apply 15-20 minutes before stepping out and reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re sweating or outdoors for long periods.
Don’t Forget Your Lips and Eyes
The delicate areas around your lips and eyes are prone to damage and dehydration.
Summer Care for Lips
Try to use a lip balm with SPF to avoid chapped, sunburned lips.
Summer Care for Eyes
Wear sunglasses, and if you’re dealing with puffiness, apply a cooling eye gel with ingredients like cucumber or caffeine.
