Mumbai: There’s something timeless about that golden summer glow. It whispers of long lunches, slow sunsets, and skin that looks like it’s just returned from somewhere beautiful, but here’s the quiet truth: the sun is not your skin’s best friend. It’s a master of subtle sabotage—accelerating fine lines, pigmentation, and collagen breakdown while you sip your iced matcha.
Thankfully, the new rules of summer skin don’t ask you to choose between radiance and protection. With the right combination of nutrition, skincare intelligence, and high-tech treatments, you can glow all season long, without ever risking damage.
Prolonged sun exposure may bronze the skin for a moment, but it quietly accelerates damage, deepening lines, dulling tone, and breaking down collagen with each unprotected ray. So, how do you glow without the burn?
Today’s skincare isn’t about extremes—it’s about balance. Radiance no longer requires risky sunbathing or overcompensating with heavy makeup. With a smarter, inside-out approach that blends nutrition, targeted actives, and modern in-clinic treatments, glowing skin becomes sustainable, safe, and entirely yours.
This season, step into the sun with confidence, not carelessness. Between barrier-boosting ingredients, glow-enhancing actives, and high-tech skin saviours, you can enjoy summer on your terms. Beautiful skin is no longer about sacrifice; it’s about strategy, and the results are nothing short of luminous.
Dr K M Kapoor, Director at AntiClock Clinic and Medispa and a Senior Consultant at Plastic Surgery at Fortis Healthcare, Mohali, suggests a golden glow can be achieved through intelligent care, mindful rituals, and treatments that respect your skin’s integrity.
Best tips to get glowing skin in summer naturally
Let this be the summer you glow smarter, glow longer, and glow with purpose.
Skincare starts in the kitchen
Let’s begin with the simplest secret: your skin reflects your lifestyle. A diet rich in antioxidants and skin-loving nutrients—like beta-carotene, vitamin E, and omega-3s—gives your complexion a head start. Think sweet potatoes, spinach, avocados, walnuts, and flaxseed. Hydration is non-negotiable. Drink water like it’s your skincare serum in a glass.
Protect with SPF
Despite popular myths, SPF doesn’t prevent tanning—it shields your skin from ageing and damage. A mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide creates a gentle physical barrier, ideal for sensitive summer skin. Meanwhile, for those longing for a bronze touch, the new breed of self-tanners and tinted drops offer a sun-free glow that’s more flattering—and far more skin-friendly.
Skincare edit: Science meets self-care
Behind every seemingly effortless glow is a routine built on clever formulation. Mild exfoliants like AHAS (such as glycolic acid) and BHAS (like salicylic acid) gently dissolve dead cells, revealing fresher, brighter skin beneath.
Add to that a hyaluronic acid serum to hold onto precious moisture and a vitamin C serum to lighten pigmentation, stimulate collagen, and brighten your tone to make your skin glow afresh.
Exfoliate no more than twice a week in summer, and always follow with SPF—it’s a beautiful ritual, not just a routine.
High-tech route to radiance
For skin that’s lost a little bounce or tone that’s uneven from summers past, there are new players like Alma Hybrid, rewriting the resurfacing rulebook. These next-gen fractional lasers fuse the power of ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, which means they smoothen, tighten, and revive skin from deep within, all without compromising your schedule (or summer holidays).
Think of it as your skin’s seasonal reset— subtle, sophisticated, and scientifically sound. This is skin revival, not reinvention—subtle, science-backed, and utterly luminous.
Glowing Smarter: Your Summer Rituals:
- Skip the midday sun (10 am–4 pm is UV peak time) as much as possible.
- Don’t overstrip your skin, barrier support is everything.
- Choose light, breathable formulas that hydrate without heaviness.
- Think of skincare as self-respect, not just self-care.
There’s no need to flirt with damage to feel beautiful. With modern skincare wisdom and cutting-edge treatments, you can enjoy a golden glow that lasts well beyond the season—effortlessly, elegantly, and on your terms. This summer, glow differently. Glow wisely.
That golden summer glow doesn’t have to come with a cost.
