Understanding PCOS Acne & Scar Treatment — Expert Tips from Dr. Shraddha Katkar at Revola Clinic

Summer sun, heat, and humidity can be harsh on your skin — leading to dryness, dullness, excess oil, breakouts, tan, pigmentation, and uneven texture. As the temperature rises, your skincare routine needs a seasonal upgrade to keep your skin healthy, radiant, and protected throughout the sunny months.

At Revola Skin & Hair Clinic, Dr. Shraddha Katkar (MD, Skin & V.D.) recommends simple yet effective skincare essentials and dermatologist-approved tips to help you beat summer skin concerns and maintain glowing skin all season long.

🔆 Why Summer Skincare Matters

The summer season increases sun exposure, UV damage, dehydration, and sweat, all of which can disrupt your skin’s natural balance. UV rays also increase the risk of tanning, pigmentation, sunburn, and premature aging. That’s why rotating your skincare routine to summer-friendly habits and treatments is essential.

Daily Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable

Sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher should be the first step in your summer skincare routine. Apply sunscreen 15–20 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every 2–3 hours — especially if you’re sweating or in water. This helps protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburn, hyperpigmentation, and premature skin aging.

💡 Tip: Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreen that won’t clog pores or feel heavy under makeup.

Hydration & Lightweight Moisturisation

Summer heat can strip your skin of moisture, leading to dehydration and dullness. Keeping your skin hydrated from the inside out is crucial — drink plenty of water throughout the day. For your external routine:

Dr. Shraddha Katkar emphasises that moisturising in summer isn’t about heavy creams — it’s about optimal hydration with breathable formulas for all skin types.

Gentle Cleansing Twice Daily

Sweat, oil, dirt, and sunscreen buildup are common in summer. Use a gentle cleanser twice daily to wash away impurities without stripping your skin’s natural oils. A cleanser with a balanced pH level keeps your skin clean, refreshed, and prepared for other skincare steps.

Exfoliate Smartly — Not Excessively

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and promotes smoother, brighter skin, but in summer you need to be cautious. Exfoliate 1–2 times per week with a gentle exfoliant, avoiding harsh scrubs that can irritate sensitive skin or weaken your skin’s barrier.

Add Antioxidants & Serums

Antioxidant-rich serums — especially Vitamin C — help protect your skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure and pollution. These serums can:

Use your serum after cleansing and before moisturising for best results.
