Try to cool off from the heat. You need all the products in this beauty edit.
Date Published:
From sweat-friendly serums to heat-proof hydrators, here's why you should summer-proof your skin, hair, and body.
Your beauty cabinet also deserves a seasonal change, just as your outfit receives a bright refresh (buh-bye knits, welcome linen!). Your skin, hair, and body are essentially begging for milder, fresher formulations that can manage the summer turmoil with all that additional heat, humidity, and UV exposure. And no, it's not only about smearing on sunscreen (though, sure, you do also need that). We discuss gel moisturisers that won't melt off your face by noon, grease-busting shampoos, and cool face mists. Ahead, ASAP, the glow-boosting, sweat-proof heroes fit for your summer beauty hoard.
Your face card, however, makes it summer-glow certified.
These seasonal glow-up basics range from gel moisturisers to cooling mists.
Ilem Japan Gentle Cleanser Face Wash
Over-cleansing can peel your skin and disturb its natural balance, even if the heat and dirt would make you want to wash your face every few hours. The solution is a mild face cleanser that soothes and moisturises without leaving your skin feeling tight or dry—the ILEM JAPAN Gentle Face Cleanser. Driven by Japanese yuzu and grape leaf extracts, it also subtly increases radiance while controlling indications of ageing.
2) iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum
Particularly in the summer, serums are the powerhouses of skincare products. While soothing burnt or irritated skin, the iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum provides a major hit of hydration. Bonus: it's quite lightweight, so you can stack it with SPF and moisturiser without feeling like your face will slip off.
3) 52 Sundaze SPF 50 Rose Water Sun Mist, P500
To rescue your skin (and sanity) in maximum heat, nothing quite beats a cool face mist. Consider the 52 Sundaze Rose Water Sun Mist (₹699) as your face-orientated tall glass of cool water. Full of calming rose water and SPF 50+, it hydrates and shields and makes lunchtime sunscreen top-ups taste excellent.
4) Caudalie VinoHydra Gel Moisturiser
In the heat, you sometimes feel like completely skipping moisturiser. For breathable, balanced hydration, it's most likely time to switch to a lightweight moisturiser like the Caudalie VinoHydra Gel Moisturiser. Summertime gel moisturisers feel less greasy, absorb quickly, and layer nicely underneath sunscreen, which makes them ideal.
5) Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask
Cica, often known as centella asiatica, is said to provide soothing effects by calming sensitive skin, lowering inflammation, increasing collagen, and strengthening the skin barrier. Catch some z's with an overnight mask like the LANEIGE Cica Sleeping Mask, which helps ease stressed skin, therefore enabling you to wake up with a better-looking, hydrated complexion if the blazing sun has your skin all blotchy and inflamed.

On the most humid days, it keeps your strands appearing sleek even by taming frizz and smoothing flyaways. Bonus: it doubles as a heat protector for every style call.
9) Supergoop! Using Vitamin C, PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50
While face sunscreen is a given, not only in the summer but all year long, body sun protection is sometimes neglected. The Supervisor! Water-resistant spray Play Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 with Vitamin C offers broad-spectrum UVA protection for dry or wet skin. Don't miss your sun-exposed arms, legs, and even neck and back; it is the quickest, most refreshing way to apply (and reapply) SPF.
10) Body Wash Aminu A-HA
Are you feeling sticky, stifling, and simply grimy? Reset hit using the Aminu A-HA Body Wash. Driven by fruit-derived AHAs, this mild exfoliating cleanser polishes away dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and leaves your body feeling fresh and minty-clean, without that tight, stripped sensation. Consider it as a shower-based little skin cleanse.
These basic beauty products are your hot-weather ride-or-dies, whether your struggle is with frizz or the ongoing need to reapply sunscreen.
