Summer is soon going to be upon us in all its glory, and with it come various skin concerns too. Oily skin gets oilier, and dry skin gets patchy. One faces acne, rashes, tanning and more environmental damage, indicating that summer can be categorically harsh on your skin, if you don’t look after it properly.
Must have Summer Skincare Essentials for Men
Here are some must-haves for men to make sure their skin shines as bright as the sun, even in the scorching heat.
Broad spectrum sunscreen
‘Sun protection’ is the most significant keyword for the skin, especially in summer. While men’s skin is thicker, it is as prone to sun burn and pigmentation caused by UVA/UVB rays, as women’s skin. Including a moisturizer with SPF like the Sandalwood & Orange Peel Facial Moisturizer or a sunscreen for men, in the daily skincare regime helps to visibly reduce signs of ageing and tanning. You can also use the Forest Essentials Sun Fluid with SPF 50| PA++ as a sunscreen if you spend more time outdoors for complete protection. For best results, apply the sunscreen daily, as the last step of your skin care routine, 20 minutes before sun exposure. Blend a few drops over the entire face including the forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, and the neck.
Oil balancing or clarifying cleansers
Cleansing is another essential skincare practice, which is extremely important in the summer. The pores must be kept free of oil and dirt. Therefore, men need a cleanser that is specially formulated with oil balancing and clarifying ingredients.
Begin your facial care routine by cleansing the face to remove all impurities, dirt and balance the sebum levels of your face. Use the Forest Essentials Sandalwood & Orange Peel Facial Cleanser to for a refreshing feel. The skin is left perfectly matte, clean and fresh for you to start shaving.
Gentle exfoliators
A weekly deep cleanse or exfoliating ritual is vital to create a smoother base for better absorption of skincare that follows, as it removes dead skin cells and minimizing the appearance of your pores.
Use the Revitalizing Kashmiri Walnut Gel Scrub, which is an exfoliating face scrub with finely milled Walnuts in a pure Aloe Vera & Vitamin-rich gel base, which helps to restore the skin’s elasticity.
After shave regime
Your skin is more prone to damage after shaving, thus use natural aftershaves that soothe, heal and don’t sting. After the shave, rinse the face with cold water and follow with a few spritzes of the Forest Essentials Sandalwood & Orange Peel After Shave Spray. This Ayurvedic After-Shave is specially designed to soothe and tone the skin after shaving. The fresh and purifying properties of sweet Orange Peel and Sandalwood, combined with the moisturizing ability of Aloe Vera, refresh the skin for instant rejuvenation.
Cooling and refreshing toners
A good skin toner is a must in warm weather to refresh and hydrate the skin. Hydrating Panchpushp Facial Tonic Mist is a go to choice for the sweltering and dehydrating summer weather. For oily and acne prone skin, Pure Rose Water Facial Tonic Mist is ideal. Facial mists can be used as often as required during the day to keep the skin fresh and hydrated. It gives a more uplifting effect when used chilled.

Hydrating and gel based moisturizers
Moisturising is one of the most overlooked summer skincare practices as extra moisture is wrongly considered to create more sebum. Whereas, if you don’t moisturize, the skin creates more sebum to compensate for dry, dehydrated skin, which may clog the pores and cause acne. The regular greasy and rich face moisturizers should be replaced with hydrating and gel based options. Regularly moisturizing the skin with hydrating creams keeps your skin hydrated and fresh, and also prevents wrinkles and laugh lines. We suggest applying the Forest Essentials Sandalwood & Orange Peel Hydrating Facial Moisturizer on damp skin to nourish and protect it from sun damage, with SPF 25.
