Daily Morning Skincare Routine for Summer
Morning skincare is very essential for your skin, especially if you are going out. Check out this comprehensive morning skincare routine for summers. Religiously follow this routine everyday and you will see the difference in a month.
- Cleansing
Cleaning your skin is the first step to your skincare routine and this step remains the same for all seasons. Start your day with a gentle cleanser to remove sweat, oil, and impurities accumulated overnight. Wash your face with room temperature water to gently cleanse the pores. Opt for a face wash with active ingredients like salicylic acid, retinol, or vitamin C to get extra benefits during this step. You can check out Eartharaga’s Salicylic acid + coffee face wash to hydrate your skin while gently cleansing it.
- Toning
Toning is an essential step to balance your skin's pH levels, close open pores, and prepare it for the next steps. Use mild toners with natural ingredients like green tea or rose water. Avoid toners with alcohol as they dry out the skin cells.
- Serum
- Now, apply a lightweight serum according to your skin type.
- If you have dry skin, go for hyaluronic acid serum to get extra hydration.
- If you have oily or combination skin, you should use glycolic acid serum or Earthraga's AHA+BHA+PHA serum for oil & acne control. You can also use Vitamin C serum to protect against sun damage and brighten your complexion.
- Pat the serum gently into your skin and wait for it to get absorbed.
- Moisturising
You might feel like skipping moisturiser in summers, but it is very crucial to lock the moisture into your skin. Use Ear a non-comedogenic moisturiser to keep your skin nourished without feeling greasy. You can check out Earthraga’s bakuchiol day cream to keep your skin hydrated, smooth, and radiant throughout the day.
If you have oily skin, you can use aloe vera gel as a moisturiser.
- Sunscreen
This is the most important step in your summer skincare routine. Whether you are going out or staying at home, do not skip sunscreen. Apply a generous amount of broad-spectrum sunscreen like the Earthraga’s Ubtan+Turmeric Sunscreen SPF 50 15 minutes before sun exposure. You should reapply every two hours, especially if swimming or sweating. If not, at least reapply it every time to step in the sun.
Do not use heavy makeup, especially foundation and powder, as this will block the pores and cause breakouts. Instead, apply a light bb cream or skip the base completely. Choose a moisturising lipstick to keep your lips hydrated and soft.
Stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking plenty of water and using a facial mist with hydrating ingredients like rosewater.
Follow this morning summer skincare routine to get a glowing skin even in the summer.
Evening Skincare Routine: Steps to Restore and Rejuvenate
It is important to prepare your skin to heal itself during the night, before you go to sleep. If you go to sleep with makeup on your skin, or oil clogging your pores, you might experience breakouts, acne, blackheads, and even fine lines.
Follow this simple and easy evening summer skincare routine to get healthy skin:
- Cleansing
After coming home, this should be the first thing to do. Cleanse your face to remove the sunscreen, sweat, dirt and pollutants accumulated during the day. Use lukewarm water to open the pores, so that your skin can absorb the serums better. We would suggest using a retinol-based face wash in the evening, followed by our retinol serum, because retinol will get ample amount of time to act on your skin.
- Toning
Just like morning, follow up with a toner in the evening as well to refresh and balance your skin.
- Treatment
Use a targeted treatment like retinol serum to reverse signs of ageing like wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation. If you are just starting to use retinol, use it 3 times a day, and gradually increase the frequency. You can also use a hydrating mask to replenish moisture overnight.
- Moisturiser
Apply a lightweight, hydrating night cream like Earthraga’s skin reviving bakuchiol night cream to lock in moisture while your skin repairs itself overnight.
