Summer Skincare Survival Kit: SPF 70, Lightweight Lotion & More

summer skincare guide

There’s something about summer that makes you want to hit the beach, sip cold coffee like it’s a sport, and live in linen. But if you’ve ever looked into the mirror after a hot, humid day and thought, “Why does my face look like it needs help?”, you’re not alone! Welcome to the wild, sweaty, tan-filled world of summer skin.

Now, while the sun may be great for serotonin, it’s not doing your skin any favors. Especially if you’re skipping sunscreen or missing out on glow-boosting products. Because let’s be real, skincare in summers is a whole new routine that your skin demands.

Wondering what’s the best summer skincare routine for glowing, non-greasy skin? Check out our Summer Survival Kit, which contains all the products you need to perfect your summer skin regimen!

1. Cleanse and Mask

Benefits of Cleanser and Mask Combo

Imagine coming back home after a long, hot day. Your face is a mix of sweat, sunscreen, and city dust, and all you want is to wash it off without feeling like your skin has been stripped of hydration. That’s exactly where a cleanser-mask hybrid steps in.

This combo is perfect for summer skincare because it simplifies your routine. You’re getting the deep cleanse your pores need and the soothing care your skin craves, especially when it’s been baking under UV rays all day.

Purify and Glow Cleanser + Mask

Foxtale’s Purify and Glow Cleanser + Mask is one of those products that just gets your needs. It uses French Pink Clay to gently pull out sweat and grime from your pores without leaving your skin feeling tight. Meanwhile, Sodium PCA works its calming magic and hydrates your skin. It’s the kind of product that makes skincare during summer less of a chore and more of a little detox ritual you’ll look forward to.

Why Broad Spectrum SPF 70 is Essential for Your Summer Skincare Routine

Why SPF 70 is the Ultimate Protection

Let’s get one thing straight: if you're stepping out in the summer without sunscreen, you’re not just skipping skincare, you’re actively ghosting your glow! 

You need extra protection to brave the harsh summer sun, and SPF 70 offers just that. It blocks out ~99% UVB rays, shielding your skin from sunburn and tanning.

Whether you’re sitting by a window all day in the office or spending weekends hopping between brunch and pool parties, your skin needs protection that can go the distance, and this is it.

How to Apply SPF Correctly

Slather on two fingers’ worth for your face and neck, pat it in and wait for 15-20 minutes before stepping into the sun. And make sure to reapply every 2–3 hours because even the best sunscreen (yes, even SPF 70) won’t work if it’s not used right.

For oily girls and guys out there who fear sunscreen will turn their forehead into a frying pan, our Matte Finish SPF 70 is a lightweight, non-greasy savior. Meanwhile, the Dewy Finish SPF 70 gives you that glow-from-within vibe without making you look like a greaseballl.

Oil-Free Moisturizer: Hydration Without the Grease

Why Oil-Free is Essential for Summer

Look, we know it’s tempting to skip moisturizer when your skin’s already super greasy, but you still need a moisturizer that offers “hydration”. In fact, dehydration can weaken your skin barrier, making your skin prone to redness, sensitivity and breakouts. This is why skipping moisturizer in the summer is a no-go.

What you need is lightweight hydration, and that’s where an oil-free moisturizer for summer becomes non-negotiable.

Oil-Free Moisturizer for Summer

Foxtale’s Oil-Free Moisturizer is the perfect light-weight moisturizer for summer. Marine Algae helps detox and defends against pollution, Hyaluronic Acid offers hydration without the weight, and Niacinamide keeps things matte and bright. Plus, it is lightweight and non-comedogenic, aka perfect for summer.

Deep Moisture Body Lotion for Full-Body Hydration

Why Deep Moisture is Essential for Summer

Sure, we all love our face serums and mists, but can we talk about how our body skin gets just as roasted, and just as parched, especially during summer?

Multiple cold showers, AC blasting all day, and sun exposure mean your arms and legs are practically begging for moisture, and that’s where body lotion stops being optional.

Key Ingredients in Deep Moisture Body Lotion

Our Deep Moisture Body Lotion is rich but never sticky, thanks to Hyaluronic Acid that quenches thirsty skin and Ceramides that repair your barrier. This duo ensures that your skin stays soft, elastic, and flake-free even in peak summer madness.

Remember, skincare for the summer season should include your whole body, because glowing skin doesn’t stop at the jawline. So don't forget to top up your body lotion with SPF 70 on all exposed body parts to avoid sunburn and those unsightly tan lines!

Lip Balm with SPF 30

Why Your Lips Need Sunscreen

We’ve all been guilty of pampering our skin and completely ignoring our lips, but did you know the skin on your lips is thinner and way more sensitive to sun damage?

If your lips are feeling dry, dark, or cracked, no matter how much water you drink, your lip balm might be missing one crucial ingredient: SPF.

Key Ingredients in Lip Balm with SPF 30

Foxtale’s Brightening Lip Balm with SPF 30 is packed with Peptides to plump, Vitamin C to brighten, Hyaluronic Acid Microspheres to hydrate, and most importantly, SPF 30 to protect your pout from sunburn and hyperpigmentation.

Conclusion

Whether you’re a skincare beginner wondering what SPF 70 even means, or a glow-getter on the hunt for skin products for summer that work in Indian humidity, Foxtale’s got you covered literally, from lips to limbs.

So pack your kit: cleanser-mask, broad-spectrum SPF, an oil-free moisturizer, body lotion, and a lip balm that doubles as protection, and just like that, you’ve got a summer survival squad that works as hard as you do.
