Hot & Humid (Coastal + Monsoon Urban)
Oil control + barrier balance
- Cleanse: switch to gentle gel or low-foam cleansers, avoid stripping twice-daily exfoliation.
- Hydrate: use light gel hydrators with humectants (glycerin, hyaluronic acid) plus a touch of niacinamide.
- Protect: prioritize breathable sunscreen, mattifying mineral or hybrid options for midday reapplication.
- Reduce congestion: use BHA 2–3 times per week, not daily, to prevent clogged pores.
