Glow Season: The Best Skincare Routine for Indian Summers (2025 Edition)

Why Indian Summer Skin Needs Special Care

Between the scorching heat, unpredictable humidity, harsh sun, and pollution, Indian summers are tough on skin. We sweat more, lose moisture faster, and often over-wash our skin trying to feel “clean,” which ironically can lead to more oil, breakouts, and dullness.

So the key isn’t more products. It’s a smarter one. Ones that cleanse without stripping, hydrate without heaviness, and fit into busy, water-scarce, on-the-move lifestyles.

NUUV’s summer skincare trio does exactly that.

Step 1: Start Fresh – Tulsi + Green Tea Cleanser

Best for: Morning & night cleansing

Skin types: Oily, acne-prone, combination

Format: Traditional rinse-off facewash (NOT waterless)

Let’s kick off your glow routine with a proper cleanse, because heat, sweat, and pollution can gunk up your pores fast.

NUUV’s Tulsi + Green Tea Cleanser is a gentle but effective face wash that balances oil, clears impurities, and keeps breakouts in check—all without drying your skin out. Unlike chemical-heavy options, this formula uses Ayurvedic and plant-powered actives to cleanse and calm.

Why it works:

  • Tulsi helps purify pores and fight acne-causing bacteria
  • Green Tea controls excess sebum and soothes redness
  • Gentle lather cleans without stripping
  • Fresh, herbal scent for that “morning reset” vibe

 Pro tip: Use it in your AM and PM routine to stay ahead of oil and acne, especially if you’re out and about a lot or wear SPF/makeup.

Step 2: Cleanse On-the-Go – Seaweed & Marshmallow Waterless Facewash

Best for: Midday refreshes, travel, campus life, water-scarce situations

Skin types: Dry, sensitive, normal, combo

Format: Waterless, no-rinse facewash (the only waterless product in NUUV’s range)

Summer isn’t always kind enough to wait until you’re home for a cleanse. That’s where NUUV’s Seaweed & Marshmallow Waterless Facewash becomes your secret weapon. This is the only waterless product in NUUV’s lineup and it’s made for those moments when the grime’s real but the sink is out of reach.

How to use: Pump a small amount onto a cotton pad, swipe across your face, and boom—clean, calm skin without needing a drop of water.

Why it works:

  • Seaweed rehydrates and shields your skin from pollution
  • Marshmallow root soothes, softens, and reduces inflammation
  • Niacinamide helps brighten, balance, and calm sensitivity
  • Refreshes skin instantly—no mess, no splash zone, no tightness

Perfect for: College students, commuters, frequent flyers, road trippers, or anyone who’s just… out and about in the heat.

Step 3: Lock In Hydration – Hyaluronic Acid + Avocado Moisturizing Bodywash

Best for: All skin types, especially dry or sun-exposed skin

Format: Rinse-off bodywash, NOT waterless

Let’s not forget the rest of your body. Long days in the sun and constant exposure to hot water (or harsh soaps) can seriously dry out your arms, legs, and back. The Hyaluronic Acid + Avocado Moisturizing Bodywash is here to change that.

This is NOT a waterless product it’s your daily in-shower skin savior, formulated to hydrate while cleansing.

Why your body will love it:

  • Hyaluronic acid pulls moisture into the skin
  • Avocado extract nourishes and seals hydration in
  • Creamy formula that leaves skin soft, not stripped
  • Sulfate-free = no post-shower tightness

Use it daily—especially after sun exposure, workouts, or evening showers.

Bonus Tip: Keep It Lightweight

After your shower, go for a lightweight gel-based moisturizer (for the face) and a non-greasy body lotion if your skin leans dry. But thanks to the hydration your skin’s already getting from NUUV’s face and body cleansers, you might even find yourself using less product post-shower.
