Summer in India can be brutal — the heat, sweat, and humidity can easily ruin your style if you're not ready. But smart men know how to stay cool and look fresh even when the sun is blazing. If you want to look your best this summer, here are 5 easy grooming moves — along with Indian product suggestions — that you must follow.

Summer Grooming Kit For Men:

skincare tips for men

1. Use a Light Moisturizer

In the summer, heavy creams are your enemy. They clog your pores and make your face look oily. Go for a light, non-sticky moisturizer that keeps your skin soft without making it greasy.

Try:

Pond’s Super Light Gel Moisturizer (hydrating and non-sticky)
Plum Green Tea Oil-Free Moisturizer (great for oily or acne-prone skin)

Avoid:

Thick, heavy creams that feel sticky in the heat.

2. Choose a Strong Antiperspirant

A normal deodorant just covers up body odor — but an antiperspirant stops you from sweating too much in the first place. In Indian summers, you need something strong!

Try:

NIVEA Men Deep Impact Freshness Deodorant Roll-On
Park Avenue Good Morning Body Deodorant

Avoid:

Mild deodorants if you're going to be out in the sun or working hard.

3. Get a Short, Fresh Haircut

Long hair + Indian summer = disaster. Go for a short, clean style that’s easy to manage and keeps you cool. Shorter styles also need less hair product, which means less sweat and mess.

Good styles:

Fades, buzz cuts, or a short textured crop.

Use:

Set Wet Matte Hair Wax (light hold, no sticky feeling)
Ustraa Hair Wax Matte Look (perfect for a natural, no-shine style)

Avoid:

Heavy hair gels and greasy creams that melt when you sweat.

4. Wear Sunscreen Daily

The Indian sun is harsh. Sunscreen protects your skin from tanning, burns, and aging. Choose a sunscreen that’s lightweight and doesn’t leave a white layer on your skin.

Try:

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 50
RE’ EQUIL Ultra Matte Dry Touch Sunscreen Gel SPF 50 PA++++ (perfect for oily skin)

Avoid:

Thick sunscreens that feel heavy or make your skin look greasy.

5. Use a Fresh Summer Perfume

Strong, spicy perfumes can be too much for hot weather. In summer, you want a fragrance that’s light, fresh, and cool.

Try:

Wild Stone Ultra Sensual Eau de Parfum
Beardo Ice Blast Perfume Spray

Avoid:

Heavy, musky, or spicy scents that feel overpowering in the heat.

Looking good in the Indian summer is all about choosing the right products and keeping your grooming simple and smart. Use lighter skincare, go for fresh haircuts, wear sunscreen, and pick fresh perfumes. Stay cool, stay confident, and own the summer like a true alpha male!
