As our hot summer arrives in the Kingdom, temperatures begin to reach 45 and 50 degrees Celsius, and our skin goes into high gear! The intense sun, dust, and high humidity in some areas are all challenges that make us reconsider everything we put on our faces. The truth is, adhering to the correct skincare routine isn't just a luxury or indulgence; it's the first line of defense to protect your face from pigmentation, summer acne, and the annoying dryness caused by air conditioning.
In this long and detailed article, we walk you step by step to build your summer routine like a pro, and introduce you to the "magic duo" (Avii mouthwash and moisturizer) that will completely change your game.
Why do we need to change our skincare routine steps with the arrival of summer?
Many girls ask: Why do I need to change my creams? The answer is simple; your skin needs warmth and heavy hydration in winter, but in Saudi Arabia's summer, the situation is completely different. Skin starts producing more oil due to the heat, and at the same time, it loses water due to air conditioning. Adjusting your skincare routine will ensure you:
- Balancing oils: Instead of your face shining with oils, let it shine with freshness.
- Avoid clogged pores: which cause blackheads and summer pimples.
- Protection from sun oxidation: which causes the skin to become dull or unevenly brown.
- Smart hydration: that replaces lost water without weighing down the skin.
First step: Proper cleansing with frankincense wash
The first and most important step in any skincare routine is cleansing. In the summer, regular cleansers can dry out your face too much or not cleanse your pores thoroughly. That's where frankincense facial wash comes in .
This cleanser is the hero every Saudi girl needs; because it combines powerful cleaning with gentle moisturizing.
- Why does your skin love it? Because it contains panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) which soothes redness, and frankincense oil and extract which clears and tightens the skin.
- The result: It cleanses pores of sweat, dust, and oil, leaving your face sparkling and radiant without that unpleasant tightness.
- Who is it suitable for? It's ideal for those with oily and combination skin who suffer in the summer, and even for those with sensitive skin that gets irritated by the heat.
Morning skincare routine steps (your protective shield)
The morning routine has one goal: "protection". You're going out to face the Riyadh sun or the Jeddah humidity, so your face needs to be ready.
- Cleanser: Start your day with frankincense cleanser to remove overnight oils and prepare your skin to receive products.
- Toner (optional): To balance the skin's pH and tighten pores.
- Vitamin C serum: It is very important in our sun because it fights the free radicals caused by ultraviolet rays.
- Deep hydration with Avii moisturizer: Don't be fooled into thinking summer doesn't require moisturizer! Avii Deep Moisturizer, with its natural formula (shea butter, cocoa butter, and natural oils), locks in moisture and prevents it from evaporating due to air conditioning. Its texture is perfect for incorporating into your daily skincare routine because it absorbs quickly.
- Sunscreen: This is king. Without sunscreen, all the steps you've taken are wasted. Choose a sweat-resistant type and reapply it every two hours if you're outside.
Steps for an evening skincare routine (recovery time)
After a long day under air conditioning or on summer outings, your skin needs pampering and repair. An evening routine is the time to compensate your skin for everything it has endured during the day.
- Double Cleansing: Use cleansing oil or micellar water to remove sunscreen, then use frankincense wash to ensure that pores have fully breathed.
- Therapeutic serums: such as hyaluronic acid for hydration or retinol (if you are used to it) for cell renewal.
- Intensive hydration with Avii: At night, your skin loses more moisture due to dry air conditioning. Apply a generous amount of Avii Deep Moisturizer . Thanks to beeswax and vitamin E , it acts as a protective barrier, repairing your skin's barrier while you sleep.
- Eye cream: The area under the eyes is very delicate and is quickly affected by summer dryness, don't forget to moisturize it.
Why is Avii Deep Moisturizer your ideal companion in the summer?
You might be surprised to find a rich cream like Avii in your summer skincare routine , but the truth is that its ingredients are exactly what Saudi skin needs:
- Jojoba oil: It balances your face's natural oils, meaning you won't get pimples.
- Shea butter and cocoa: repair irritation caused by sunburn.
- Sweet almond oil: gives instant smoothness to stressed skin.
- Safety: Since it is 100% natural, you can even use it for your children if their skin is sensitive to sweat or pool water.

The importance of double cleaning in our desert climate
If you asked any beauty expert about the secret to her clear skin, they'd tell you "double cleansing." In Saudi Arabia, the sunscreen we usually use is "heavy" or water-resistant so it can withstand sweat, and regular cleansers simply can't remove it completely.
Including this step in your evening skincare routine will ensure that you:
- Remove all traces of sunscreen and makeup.
- Prevents the appearance of blackheads under the skin.
- Prepare the skin to absorb Avii moisturizer twice as well.
How do you deal with sudden skin irritation in the summer?
Sometimes, despite adhering to our skincare routine , our faces become red or itchy due to a heat rash. In this case, you need to follow your emergency plan:
- Simplify your routine: Stop using exfoliants and acids immediately.
- Cooling: Use cold water compresses or thermal water spray.
- Natural repair: Use frankincense wash as it contains soothing panthenol, and follow it with Avii moisturizer as it is gentle on sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
Areas we often forget in our skincare routine
Skin isn't just the face! There are areas exposed to sun and dryness that we forget about:
- Neck: Always treat it like your face in terms of cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
- Hands: Especially with driving, hands become worn and stained quickly. Keep a jar of Avii moisturizer (250g) in your car and moisturize them regularly.
- The ears and hairline are very sensitive areas to sunburn, don't forget sunscreen on them.
Golden tips to enhance the effectiveness of your skincare routine steps
- Drink water: Internal hydration is key, try to drink 3 liters of water daily.
- Eat summer fruits: Watermelon and cantaloupe are rich in fluids and antioxidants that your skin loves.
- Washing your face after sweating: Don't let sweat dry on your face because it clogs pores; use frankincense wash immediately after you come back from outside.
- Change your pillowcase: Use "satin" or "silk" so that it doesn't absorb creams from your face while you sleep.
Frequently asked questions about skincare routine steps in Saudi Arabia
Does frankincense wash replace the use of toner?
Frankincense wash, with its rich formula, cleanses and tightens pores. If your skin is comfortable with it, you can rely on it as a basic step for cleansing and tightening.
My skin is oily, can I use Avii moisturizer in the summer?
Yes, because Avii contains jojoba oil which "tricks" the skin and makes it secrete less oil, but the secret is to use it in a small amount in the morning and a generous amount in the evening.
Why do I have to stick to a skincare routine even if I don't leave the house?
Because air conditioners are the number one enemy of humidification, and the lighting inside the house, the computer and mobile phone emit "blue light" which can cause minor pigmentation over time.
Your beauty begins with your attention to detail. Saudi Arabia's summer is long, but by adhering to a skincare routine and using trusted natural products like Avii Deep Moisturizer and Frankincense Wash , you can ensure your skin emerges from this summer looking fresher and more beautiful than before.
