Shelves of products and a dozen steps are not what your skin needs. In a dry, dusty place with strong sun, three habits do most of the work, and everything else is optional.
This is a routine to start with, not a prescription. If you have a skin condition, a dermatologist comes first.
The three that matter
- Cleanse, gentlyOnce in the morning is enough, twice if you wear makeup or have been out in dust. A mild cleanser. If your face feels tight afterwards, it is too harsh.
- Moisturise, even if oilyDry air pulls water from skin. Oily skin needs a light gel, not none. Skipping moisturiser often makes oil worse.
- Sunscreen, every dayJaipur sun is strong for most of the year, including winter afternoons. Reapply if you are outside for hours. Our sunscreen guide explains what to look for.
Changes through the year
| Season | What changes |
|---|---|
| Summer | Lighter moisturiser, more careful sunscreen, wash off sweat and dust in the evening, expect tanning on exposed skin |
| Monsoon | Humidity brings oil and breakouts on some skin; keep it simple and clean |
| Winter | Richer moisturiser, less hot water on the face, lips and hands need extra care |
| Around Diwali and the wedding season | Air quality can worsen; cleanse well at night |
Our winter, monsoon and pollution guides go into each season.
Where salon visits fit
- Cleanup, ₹299. Every three to four weeks if your skin is oily or blackhead-prone.
- Facial, from ₹499. Every four to six weeks for most skin. Our guide on facial frequency by season covers the detail.
- De tan, ₹599 as a facial. After heavy sun exposure such as travel, festivals or a summer of scooter rides.
When to skip and see a doctor
If a product stings, burns or causes a rash, stop using it. Persistent redness, painful acne, or patches that are itchy or change shape need a dermatologist, not another product. We also do not treat medical skin conditions at home.
