Hyderabad · Summer (March–June)

Summer skincare routine for dry skin in Hyderabad

Hot, dry summers (40°C+), a moderate monsoon and pleasant, dry winters.

Summer in Hyderabad: what changes

  • Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours outdoors. Hyderabad's UV is very high.
  • Dry heat dehydrates even oily skin. Mist and layer a hyaluronic serum under a light moisturiser.
  • Cut back on strong actives in peak heat (May–June). Heat plus retinoids or acids often means irritation.
  • Dry skin in summer: a light lotion in the morning and your richer cream at night keeps the balance.

Tips for your skin

  • Dry heat and AC pull water from skin. Apply serums on damp skin and keep a hydrating mist handy.
  • We kept Lactic Acid and Peptides on separate nights on purpose: use with caution when layered.
  • Patch test every new product on your jawline for 2–3 nights before using it on your whole face.
  • Budget tip: Indian D2C brands sell single-active serums for ₹300–₹700 that match premium formulas. Pay for sunscreen first.
