Creating a skincare routine sounds simple — but in Pakistan’s climate, heat, humidity, dust, and sun exposure can make the wrong routine ineffective or irritating.
The key is not using more products, but using the right serums at the right time of day, based on your skin type and environment.
This guide explains a simple morning and night serum routine that works well for Pakistani weather and common skin concerns.
Why Pakistani weather needs a different skincare routine
In Pakistan, most people deal with:
-
strong sunlight
-
humidity or dry heat (depending on city/season)
-
pollution and dust
-
frequent sweating
These factors affect how serums absorb and how skin reacts.
A good routine should:
-
protect skin during the day
-
repair and rebalance skin at night
-
avoid heavy layering
Morning routine (AM): protect & brighten
Step 1: Gentle cleanser
Use a mild face wash that removes oil and sweat without stripping the skin.
Step 2: Vitamin C serum (lightweight)
Vitamin C serums are commonly used in the morning because they:
-
support brighter-looking skin
-
help improve uneven tone
-
protect skin from environmental stress
Apply 2–3 drops on dry skin and let it absorb fully.
Step 3: Moisturizer
Choose a light, non-greasy moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
Step 4: Sunscreen (very important)
No routine works without sun protection.
-
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen
-
Reapply if you’re outdoors for long hours
Night routine (PM): repair & balance
Step 1: Cleanse thoroughly
Remove sunscreen, dirt, and buildup from the day.
Step 2: Niacinamide or anti-aging serum
At night, focus on:
-
oil balance
-
barrier repair
-
skin recovery
Niacinamide serum works well for:
-
oily or acne-prone skin
-
visible pores
-
post-acne marks
Anti-aging serums are suitable for:
-
dryness
-
fine lines
-
loss of firmness
Choose one based on your main concern.
Step 3: Moisturizer
Seal in hydration to support overnight repair.
