Why Pre-Summer Skin Care is Important

Summers in your city may or may not be extreme, but the skin damage still happens because of:

1) More sunlight and UV exposure

As summer approaches, UV rays become stronger, leading to:

• tanning

• uneven tone

• pigmentation spots

2) More sweating and oil production

Sweat mixes with oil and dust, which can clog pores and cause:

• acne

• bumps

• blackheads

3) Travel exposure

In Bangalore, even 10–15 minutes of daily travel (bike/car/walking) can slowly cause tan.

4) Pollution

Pollution + sweat increases skin irritation and dullness.

That’s why pre-summer is the best time to:
✅ detox pores
✅ start sunscreen routine
✅ repair skin barrier
✅ brighten skin safely
