The Indian summer doesn’t play nice. Step outside for five minutes and your skin starts to burn, tan, or break out. Sound familiar? Between the blazing sun, sticky humidity, and dust in the air, your skin goes through a war every single day.
And while most of us slap on any sunscreen we find, not all of them are built for Indian heat or Indian skin. That’s where True Derma steps in.
In this guide, we’re breaking down what actually works in this weather and how True Derma’s SPF products can help you stay protected, fresh, and glow-ready all summer long.
What Makes Indian Summers So Tough on Your Skin?
If you’ve lived through an Indian summer, you already know the heat is just one part of the problem.
-
The UV index often crosses 10, which means your skin’s getting hit hard even during a short auto ride.
-
Humidity traps sweat, dirt, and bacteria, which clog pores and cause breakouts.
-
City’s pollution piles on more stress, exposing your face to dust, smoke, and toxins.
Why Your Sunscreen Might Not Be Helping (Even If It’s Expensive)
Ever applied sunscreen and still come home with a tan, burnt, oily skin or worse? You’re not alone. Here’s where most people go wrong:
-
Using SPF below 50 in high-heat months
-
Skipping reapplication, thinking one layer will last all day
-
Using heavy creams in humid weather, which just sit on the skin and clog pores
-
Picking sunscreens without PA+++, which means no protection from UVA rays (the ones that cause pigmentation and aging)
Also, a lot of sunscreen products just aren’t made for Indian weather. They're too thick, too shiny, or too harsh on sensitive skin.

How to Choose the Right True Derma Sunscreen for Your Skin Type
Here’s the good news: True Derma makes sunscreen specifically for Indian skin and weather.
Here’s what to choose based on what your skin needs:
-
Oily or acne-prone skin?
Go with the True Derma Luxurious SPF 50 Gel. It’s light, non-sticky, and absorbs quickly. -
Dry or sensitive skin?
Try the True Derma Luxurious SPF 50 Cream. It adds hydration without feeling heavy. -
Wear makeup daily?
The TrueSkin SPF 50 Cream works beautifully as a primer—no pilling, no greasiness. -
Outdoors a lot?
Choose Luxurious Sun Block Gel SPF 50 PA+++ for full coverage that lasts, even through sweat and sun.
The best part? None of them leave a white cast or clog your pores.
How to Actually Use Sunscreen So It Works
Let’s simplify this. Using sunscreen the right way matters as much as choosing the right one.
-
Apply at least 15–20 minutes before stepping out
-
Use the two-finger rule: One line of sunscreen on each index and middle finger covers face and neck
-
Don’t forget your ears, eyelids, and hands
-
Reapply every 2–3 hours if you’re outdoors or sweating
-
And yes, use it even indoors because UVA rays come through windows
If your sunscreen’s melting off by noon, it’s not your fault. You just need a formula that holds up in real heat and that’s exactly what True Derma’s built for.
