Surat (Gujarat) [India], April 22:When temperatures rise in India, so do skin concerns. From relentless tanning to uncontrollable breakouts, the summer heat doesn't just leave you sweating — it leaves your skin screaming for help. But there's good news: leading dermatologists are sharing science-backed solutions that don't just treat — they transform.

The Most Common Summer Skin Problems (And Why They Happen)

1. Persistent Tanning & Pigmentation: Melanin production spikes under harsh UV rays — resulting in uneven skin tone, dark spots, and stubborn tan patches.

2. Sweat-Induced Acne: Excessive sweating mixes with dirt and oil, clogging pores and triggering breakouts, especially in oily or acne-prone skin.

3. Dull, Dehydrated Skin: Heat and UV exposure strip your skin's moisture barrier, making it appear tired and lifeless.

4. Premature Aging: Constant sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown — causing fine lines, dullness, fungal infection, miliaria, boils and sagging skin earlier than expected.

What Dermatologists Recommend: Prevention + Clinical Care

According to Dr. Jagdish Sakhiya, Chief Dermatologist at Sakhiya Skin Clinic:

“Indian summers require a shift in skincare — lighter products, stronger sun protection, and in some cases, professional treatments to restore balance and glow.”

Top 5 Summer Skincare Solutions That Actually Work

1. Dermatologist-Approved Sunscreens: Apply every 3–4 hours, even indoors. Choose broad-spectrum formulas like Dr. Sakhiya's Sunscreen for ultimate protection.

2. Hydration-Focused Treatments: Treatments like Hydrafacial, Vitamin Infusion Therapy, and Skin Boosters restore moisture and revive glow.

3. Targeted Pigmentation Therapy: Pigmentation solutions like Glowmelan, Laser Toning, and Q-Switch Laser visibly reduce uneven tone and spots.

4. Antioxidant Skincare: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and Glutathione-based products protect and repair skin from environmental damage. Explore dermatologist-developed products at: www.drsakhiyas.com

5. Full Body Laser Hair Removal: Reduces sweat-related bacterial growth and helps maintain hygiene during hot, humid months.

Lifestyle Tips to Protect Your Skin This Summer

  • Hydrate Smart – Drink 2.5–3 litres of water daily
  • Wear Cotton Clothing – Breathable fabrics prevent heat rash and bacterial build-up
  • Sleep 7–8 Hours Daily – Supports skin cell repair
  • Avoid Stepping Out 12–3 PM – UV rays are at their peak
  • Change Pillowcases Every 3 Days – Reduces acne and bacteria spread
  • Avoid Long Hot Showers – They dry out the skin barrier

Do's and Don'ts for Healthy Skin

Eat More Of:

  • Watermelon, cucumber, oranges, pomegranate – hydration + antioxidants
  • Leafy greens & nuts – promote collagen and reduce inflammation
  • Yogurt / Probiotics – balances gut health, which reflects on your skin

Avoid:

  • Deep-fried snacks, sugary drinks, processed food – cause breakouts and dullness
  • Full-fat dairy & whey protein – can trigger hormonal acne in some individuals
  • Spicy food – increases internal heat, leading to flare-ups
