5 Common Summer Skin Problems (and How to Solve Them)
Summer brings plenty of sunshine and fun, but it can also bring challenges for your skin. Here’s a look at five common skin problems people face during the summer months—and how you can address them effectively.
1. Sunburn
The Problem: Too much time in the sun without proper protection can lead to painful, red, and damaged skin.
The Solution:
- Apply aloe vera or a cooling gel to soothe the burn.
- Use Illumino Serum for hydration and repair, as it contains antioxidants that help support the skin’s natural recovery.
- Always wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and reapply every two hours to prevent future burns.
2. Oily Skin
The Problem: Heat and humidity can cause excess oil production, leading to a greasy look and more frequent breakouts.
The Solution:
- Use a gentle cleanser like Luminesq Dust Face Cleanser to remove excess oil without stripping the skin.
- Incorporate a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep skin hydrated without adding extra shine.
- Blotting papers can help manage oil during the day.
3. Clogged Pores
The Problem: Sweating and heavy products can trap dirt and oil in your pores, leading to blackheads and breakouts.
The Solution:
- Regularly exfoliate with Atonement Face Mask to unclog pores and brighten the skin.
- Avoid overly heavy products; stick to breathable, summer-friendly skincare.
- Double-cleanse at night to ensure all sunscreen, makeup, and dirt are removed.
4. Dehydration
The Problem: Heat and sun exposure can dry out your skin, even if it feels oily on the surface.
The Solution:
- Hydrate from within by drinking plenty of water and eating water-rich foods like cucumber and watermelon.
- Use hydrating products such as Illumino Serum to restore moisture balance.
- Look for skincare with humectants like hyaluronic acid to lock in hydration.
Purify Blocked Up Pores
Transform enlarged, congested pores into smooth, refined skin with Indagare's comprehensive Refine Pores collection—three powerful botanical treatments that work together to purify, minimise, and perfect your complexion naturally. This expertly curated system features our most effective pore-refining formulations: the gentle yet powerful Luminesq Dust Face Cleanser with hibiscus and colloidal oatmeal to prep and smooth, the award-winning Atonement Superfood Clay Face Mask with Moroccan Rhassoul clay to deeply purify and draw out impurities, and the luminous Illumino Youth Serum with precious prickly pear seed oil to tighten and refine without clogging pores. Together, these three Australian-made treasures create a complete ritual that addresses every aspect of pore health while honouring your skin's natural balance.
More than just pore treatments, this collection represents a holistic approach to skin refinement that understands true beauty comes from within—literally and figuratively. Made with 100% natural ingredients and free from cheap fillers, petroleum, and parabens, each formula harnesses ancient botanical wisdom to deliver modern results without harsh chemicals or aggressive treatments that can actually worsen pore appearance over time. From the gentle morning activation of hibiscus-powered cleansing to the weekly deep purification ritual with Moroccan clay, finishing with daily protection from desert botanicals, this collection proves that the most effective pore refinement happens when you work with your skin's natural processes, not against them.
Clean. Simple. Effective.
5. Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots
The Problem: Increased sun exposure can lead to dark spots and uneven skin tone.
The Solution:
- Use products rich in antioxidants, like the Signature Night Recovery Oil, to repair and even out skin tone.
- Wear sunscreen daily to prevent spots from worsening.
- Consider incorporating gentle exfoliants to fade discoloration over time.

Includes: travel-size Luminesq Dust Face Cleanser + Illumino Youth Serum + Signature Night Recovery Oil + Atonement Superfood Clay Face Mask + Prickly Pear Eye Roller
A skincare trial set for mature skin – travel-size versions of all five steps, so you can see how your skin actually responds before committing to full sizes. Built around certified-organic prickly pear seed oil and argan oil, and made for skin over 40 that has become drier, duller or more reactive than it used to be.
Because here is the honest problem with buying skincare: you cannot tell from a product page whether something will suit your skin. You can only tell by using it. This set gives you four to six weeks of the full routine – long enough to know.
What you'll find out: Whether a cleanser that doesn't strip changes how your skin feels by mid-afternoon. Whether a lightweight face oil sits well under your makeup. Whether the eye roller makes a visible difference to morning puffiness. Whether your skin looks brighter after a few weeks of the mask.
Most people notice softness and comfort within a fortnight. Brightness and more even-looking tone take longer – which is why the minis are sized for four to six weeks rather than a single try.
It is also the easiest way to keep the whole routine going when you're travelling.
100% natural. PETA-certified cruelty-free. Australian-made. Backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
