July can be beautiful, but it’s not always kind to your skin. Heat, humidity, sweat, pollution and UV rays can all combine to disrupt your skincare routine. You might notice your skin feels oilier than usual, or perhaps dry patches have appeared from too much sun. Sometimes both can happen simultaneously which can be particularly frustrating.
But summer doesn’t have to take a toll on your skin. With the right natural, gentle and effective routine, you can enjoy the season without worrying about breakouts, dullness or irritation. The key is to cleanse properly, exfoliate gently, hydrate deeply and protect your skin barrier.
Here’s how you can look after your skin this July using Holy Lama Naturals, an ethical Ayurvedic brand from Kerala that brings together the goodness of time tested herbs, oils and sustainable practices.
Sweat, sunscreen and pollution can clog pores and cause dullness. You need a cleanser that works but without stripping your skin dry.
Holy Lama Naturals Ayurvedic Cleansing Face Wash is a foaming gel made with aloe vera and geranium oil, both known for their soothing and refreshing properties. Aloe vera cools the skin and helps reduce redness or irritation caused by heat. Geranium oil is gentle yet effective at cleansing and balancing the skin’s natural oils.
What’s special about this face wash is how clean and fresh it leaves your skin, without leaving it feeling tight or dry. And the soft floral scent makes it feel like you’re walking through a rose garden. It’s ideal for daily use, morning and evening.

In July, dead skin cells and sweat mix with oil, leading to congestion and breakouts. That’s why exfoliation is important but it should always be gentle.
Holy Lama Naturals Exfoliating Body Scrub uses walnut shell powder and apricot kernel oil to slough off dead skin cells without being harsh. Walnut shell provides the physical exfoliation, while aloe vera and nourishing oils soothe and moisturise at the same time.
Use this 1–2 times a week in the shower. It helps unclog pores, evens out skin tone and leaves your skin soft, radiant and refreshed. Especially in July, when skin tends to feel sticky and dull, this scrub can make a noticeable difference.

A good face mask can do wonders in summer especially if your skin looks tired, patchy or feels inflamed from too much sun.
The Holy Lama Naturals Red Sandalwood Face Mask is an Ayurvedic treatment that’s ideal for this time of year. Red sandalwood has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps reduce blemishes, enhances radiance and promotes an even skin tone.
Use it once or twice a week as a prebath cream or mask. It’s easy to apply and washes off without hassle. Over time, you’ll notice your skin looking clearer and feeling calmer, even during the intense summer heat.

Many people forget that your body needs just as much care as your face especially in July. Hot showers, sun exposure and air conditioning can all dry out the skin.
Holy Lama Naturals Shower Gel with vetivert and ylang ylang oils is more than just a cleanser. It hydrates while leaving your skin feeling soft, refreshed and balanced. Vetivert is known for its grounding, earthy scent and cooling properties. Ylang ylang adds a floral note and helps balance oil production.
Unlike chemical heavy soaps, this shower gel cleanses gently without disrupting your skin barrier. Plus, it’s SLS free, vegan and handmade.

Moisturising in summer might seem unnecessary, especially if your skin is oily. But skipping this step can actually cause your skin to produce more oil to compensate. The key is to use a light yet nourishing cream that hydrates without clogging pores.
Holy Lama Naturals Ayurvedic Fortifying Face Cream is made with jojoba oil and cocoa butter both excellent at locking in moisture without feeling heavy. Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, allowing it to absorb easily. Cocoa butter helps protect and repair the skin barrier.
Use it both day and night. It’s especially effective after cleansing and masking, when your skin is most receptive to hydration. The scent is subtle like spring rain in a herbal garden.
