Beat the Heat: Your Complete Summer Skin and Hair Care Routine
As the sun graces us with its presence and summer unfolds, it's time to prepare for a season of outdoor enjoyment and relaxation.
However, along with the sunny delights, summer presents unique challenges for our skin and hair.
“Exposure to the sun's UV rays can lead to sunburn and hyperpigmentation, while heat and humidity may cause dehydration and acne breakouts. Hair can become dry, frizzy, and prone to colour fading due to sun and humidity. Therefore, it's crucial to protect your skin and hair during the summer, including using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and following a proper skincare and haircare routine,” says lifestyle and relationship expert Greyson Piper from Pick Up Line.
But fret not! This guide will help you navigate the summer season with a simple yet effective skincare and haircare routine.

Summer Skin Care Routine
Step 1: Cleanser
Start your morning and evening routine with a gentle cleanser to remove sweat, dirt, and impurities. Look for a pH-balanced cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils.
Step 2: Exfoliation (2-3 times a week)
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, allowing the skin to breathe and absorb products better. Brooklan Tree’s Hibiscus exfoliant is ideal for all skin types, leaving the skin renewed and refreshed.
Step 3: Serum
Use a lightweight, hydrating like Brooklan Tree’s Hyaluronic Hydra Boost + Kakadu Plum to rehydrate your skin, brighten your complexion, and fight free radicals.
This step can also address specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation or acne.
Step 4: Moisturiser
Opt for a lightweight, natural moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated without feeling heavy.
Step 5: Sunscreen (morning routine)
Sunscreen is crucial during the summer months. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 (higher if you spend extended time outdoors). Reapply every two hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating.
Step 6: Freshen
Use a refreshing facial mist to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. Alternatively, you can include it as a toner in your regular cleansing routine.
Nighttime Routine:
In the evening, follow the same steps but skip the sunscreen. Instead, you can use a thicker night cream or sleeping mask to provide extra hydration and repair your skin overnight.
Summer Hair Care Routine
Step 1: Determine Your Hair Type and Needs
Understand your hair type (e.g., straight, curly, wavy, coarse, fine) and specific concerns (e.g., dryness, frizz, dandruff, oily scalp) to choose products and treatments tailored to your hair's unique requirements.
Step 2: Regular Washing
How often you should wash your hair depends on your hair type and lifestyle. While some people may need to wash daily, others can go several days between washes.
Use a mild natural shampoo occasionally to remove product buildup and impurities caused by sweat and sunscreen.
Step 3: Conditioning
Use a hydrating conditioner to moisturise your hair and repair any damage caused by the sun and outdoor activities. Consider using a deep conditioning treatment once a week for added hydration.
Step 4: Hair Treatments (as needed)
Consider using specialised treatments like leave-in conditioners, serums, or hair oils, depending on your hair concerns. These can provide extra moisture, protect against heat damage, or address specific issues such as frizz or split ends.
Step 5: Post-Sun Care
After spending time in the sun or water, rinse your hair thoroughly to remove salt, chlorine, and sweat. Apply a leave-in conditioner or hydrating serum to replenish lost moisture.
