If you are turning red and it’s not because a cute boy walked into the café but the summer heat and humidity, then this top 50 guide is for you. Discover products that will help you keep redness and puffiness under control in the heat.
In This Story:
You may be cool for the summer, but is your skin too? Just in the last month around 26.2K and 17.0K people looked up red skin and redness respectively. This means even before the summer season hits us, our skin concerns have arrived. It may be a common skin concern in colder climates where the temperature drops, causing the cheeks to look naturally flushed, but in hotter regions like India, red skin is not a cute look, well, not when it refuses to budge. Let’s look at a few reasons why our skin experiences redness and puffiness during the summer season and check out a few products that can help our skin cool off.
Reasons For Redness & Puffiness
Unlike colder regions, the Indian skin experiences red and puffy skin during the summer, due to the following reasons.
- Sun Exposure: Excessive sun exposure weakens the skin barrier. This means your skin is now vulnerable to burning and inflammation.
- Dehydration: During summer our skin loses more moisture than ever, causing the skin to dehydrate and thus become weak. This causes red patches on the skin and without proper hydration, it can become severe.
- Diet & Lifestyle: Consuming too much alcohol, nicotine, and deep and fried food, can also cause your skin to break out and cause redness.
- External Factors: Other environmental factors such as pollution, dust, makeup, dryness, and humidity can all cause redness on the skin.
The red and puffy skin needs some cooling ingredients and skin-loving products that can soothe and calm your face with the right formulation and potent elements. So, without further ado, here are 50 products from Nykaa that can pacify your skin to reduce heat-induced redness and puffiness.

Cooling Sheet Masks
Have 30 minutes to yourself? Give yourself a pick-me-up with a cooling sheet mask.

The best part is you can pamper your skin while getting your other errands done as the mask does her job.
