Your Go-To Skincare Regime for Summer

– Top Ingredients for Radiant Skin and Vitality 

Ah, summer—the season of sunshine, beach days, and a radiant glow that turns heads. Achieving that coveted summer glow involves more than just sunscreen and a floppy hat. In this blog, we’ll explore the synergy between Ayurvedic wisdom and modern research to unlock the perfect summer skincare routine.  

Ayurvedic Skincare Tips for Grishma Ritu  

In Ayurveda, summer is associated with the Pitta dosha, characterized by heat and intensity. To balance Pitta and achieve radiant summer skin, we would advice you to follow these Ayurvedic skincare tips –  

• Cooling Cleansers – Opt for gentle, cooling cleansers to cleanse your skin without stripping it of essential moisture. Using an oil-based cleanser like the Kesar Cleansing Balm will not only help to remove dirt and makeup from your face but also protect the skin barrier by not stripping it off its natural moisture. The ones with oily skin type can follow the routine with a double cleanse, preferably with a water-based cleanser.  

P.S. – Double cleansing is not a ‘must-to-do’ for everyone. A good oil-based cleanser is usually enough. But if you strongly feel a residue oily feel, we advice you to listen to your skin!  

• Light Moisturizers – Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers with ingredients like Watermelon Seed Oil or Carrot Seed Oil to keep your skin nourished without feeling heavy. 

• Sun Protection – Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of natural sun protection. Use hats, seek shade, and apply natural sunscreens with ingredients like sesame oil, coconut oil, olive oil, cottonseed oil and so on. 

• Detox from Inside – Incorporate soothing and cooling your body from inside by detoxifying yourself. Practicing Oil Pulling every morning with our Mint Rush Oil can be one such way to pamper your skin and balance Pitta.

Let’s uncover the magic behind some powerhouse ingredients

1. Avocado Extract

Nature’s Nourishment 

Avocado extract is a powerhouse ingredient for your skin. Rich in fatty acids and vitamins, it deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin. Ayurveda values the cooling and rejuvenating properties of avocado oil, making it an excellent choice for summer skincare, especially during the night when your skin needs an extra layer of moisturization to last overnight. We have considered all these factors to make our Raatrani Night Balm a one-step skincare for your peaceful slumber hours! Modern research supports its role in enhancing skin elasticity and reducing inflammation, making it a go-to ingredient for achieving that summer glow. 

2. Cucumber Extract  

Cool and Calming 

Cucumber isn’t just for refreshing salads—it’s a skincare superstar. Cucumber extract hydrates and soothes the skin, reducing puffiness and inflammation. Ayurveda recommends incorporating cooling elements into summer skincare, and Passionfruit Body Oil with ingredients like Vitamin E, Passionfruit Oil and Cucumber Extract does just that. Modern studies highlight its ability to calm irritated skin and provide a refreshing sensation, making it an excellent choice for your summer routine. 

3. Bakuchiol 

The Natural Retinol Alternative 

Bakuchiol, derived from the Babchi plant, has taken the skincare world by storm as a natural alternative to retinol. It possesses anti-aging properties, promoting collagen production and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Ayurveda recognizes Bakuchiol for its skin-soothing and rejuvenating properties, making it a fantastic addition to your summer skincare routine. Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is gentle, making it suitable for all skin types, even in the sun-drenched summer months. 

4. Carrot Seed Oil  

Sun-Kissed Skin Saver 

Carrot seed oil is a gem for summer skincare, thanks to its high carotenoid content. It provides natural sun protection and helps repair sun-damaged skin. Ayurveda acknowledges the skin-nourishing qualities of carrot seed oil, making it an ideal ingredient for the summer season. Modern research supports its role in promoting skin regeneration and reducing the effects of UV radiation, making it a must-have for your summer skincare arsenal.
