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."
