Summer Skincare in India — Vegan Sunscreen, Cleansers & Lightweight Moisturisers

Indian summers change what your skin needs rather than how much care it needs. Heat and humidity increase sebum and sweat, so heavy occlusive creams that worked in winter tend to sit on the surface and trap grime. Gel and lotion textures with humectants — glycerin, hyaluronic acid, aloe — hydrate without the greasy film.

Sunscreen is the one product worth being careful about. Check for a stated SPF and, separately, a UVA rating: PA+++ or higher, or the EU circled-UVA mark. SPF alone tells you nothing about UVA protection, which drives pigmentation and ageing. Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) suit sensitive skin but can leave a cast; modern chemical filters are lighter under makeup. Whatever you choose, reapplication every two to three hours outdoors matters more than the number on the bottle.

For cleansing, a mild surfactant used twice daily beats a harsh one — stripping the skin increases oil production. Actives like AHAs and retinoids raise sun sensitivity, so use them at night and pair with daily sunscreen. Patch-test anything new on the inner forearm for two days before applying it to your face.
