Summer in Chandigarh: what changes

  • Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours outdoors. Chandigarh's UV is high in summer.
  • 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.

Tips for your skin

  • Dry heat and AC pull water from skin. Apply serums on damp skin and keep a hydrating mist handy.
  • 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.
