Living in humid Indian cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Goa, Kochi, and Visakhapatnam means dealing with constant stickiness, sweat, excess oil, clogged pores, and more frequent breakouts.
Humidity doesn’t just make your skin greasy — it also traps pollution, dust, and bacteria, causing acne, dullness, blackheads, and uneven skin tone.

To keep your skin fresh, matte and healthy in coastal weather, your skincare routine must be lightweight, non-greasy, sweat-resistant, and oil-controlling.

Here is the ultimate summer + humidity-friendly skincare routine, crafted specially for Indian coastal climates.

🌞 MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE (Humidity-Proof)

1. Gentle Face Wash to Remove Sweat & Oil

In humid weather, your skin attracts oil, dust, and pollution overnight.

👉 Use: SkinCin Vitamin C Beads Face Wash

• Removes sweat & excess oil

• Instantly brightens

• Helps clear pollution buildup

• Keeps skin fresh for hours

A perfect start to the day in cities like Mumbai & Chennai.

2. Vitamin C Serum for Glow + Pollution Protection

Pollution levels are high in Indian metros, and humidity makes the skin dull. Vitamin C strengthens your skin and improves brightness.

👉 Use: SkinCin Vitamin C Serum

• Fades dark spots

• Brightens dull skin

• Protects from pollution

• Improves skin tone

• Lightweight & non-sticky

Ideal for sweaty climates.

3. Hyaluronic Acid Serum (Optional for Extra Hydration)

Even in humid cities, skin can become dehydrated due to AC rooms and heat.

👉 Use: SkinCin Hyaluronic Acid Serum

• Hydrates without greasiness

• Helps balance moisture

• Keeps skin plump

Works especially well for people working indoors.

4. Lightweight Moisturizer (Not Heavy Creams!)

Humidity + heavy creams = clogged pores.
Choose gel-based, breathable formulas.

✔ Best for oily skin
✔ Helps lock in hydration from serums

5. SPF50 Sunscreen – The MOST Important Step

Coastal cities get intense UV radiation due to open skies and reflective surfaces.

👉 Use: SkinCin SPF50 Sun Cream

• Sweat-resistant

• Lightweight

• No white cast

• Non-greasy

• Perfect for hot, humid Indian weather

Apply generously before stepping out.

💼 MIDDAY TIPS (For Coastal City Skin)

✔ Use blotting paper to control shine
✔ Reapply SPF if you’re outdoors
✔ Use a facial mist for freshness
✔ Avoid touching your face
✔ Drink plenty of water

🌙 NIGHT SKINCARE ROUTINE (Deep Clean + Repair)

Humidity clogs pores throughout the day. Night skincare should focus on deep cleansing and oil control.

1. Deep Cleanser to Remove Sweat, Oil & Pollution

Use a gentle cleanser to remove sunscreen, sweat and dirt.

👉 Use: SkinCin Vitamin C Beads Face Wash

2. Salicylic Acid for Oil Control (3–4 Times a Week)

Sweat + dust + humidity = more acne.
Salicylic Acid keeps pores clean.

👉 Use: SkinCin Salicylic Acid Scrub

• Clears clogged pores

• Removes blackheads & whiteheads

• Prevents sweat pimples

• Controls oil production

Perfect for Mumbai humidity & Chennai heat.

3. Hyaluronic Acid Serum (Non-Sticky Hydration)

Humidity increases oil but decreases hydration. HA balances skin moisture.

👉 Use: SkinCin Hyaluronic Acid Serum

• Lightweight

• Cooling

• Repairs skin overnight

4. Light Night Cream or Gel Moisturizer

Avoid thick creams — they will trap sweat and clog pores.
Go for gel-based, fast-absorbing ones.

🌿 Weekly Add-Ons for Humid Cities

✔ Clay Mask (1–2 times a week)

Absorbs extra oil and detoxifies pores.

✔ Gentle Exfoliation

Helps reduce pollution buildup and dullness.

✔ Body Wash for Sweat-Prone Skin

Humidity causes body acne too.

👉 Try: SkinCin Lavender & Geranium Body Wash
