A simple 4-step skincare routine for hot climates

In Mogadishu's heat, a heavy ten-step routine is more than most skin needs. Four steps done consistently will do more than any single product.

Morning

1. Cleanse gently. A micellar lotion such as ACM Sensitélial Micellar Lotion removes sweat and oil without stripping the skin.
2. Treat. If you have dark spots or uneven tone, a targeted cream like ACM Dépiwhite Advanced works best when used every day.
3. Moisturise lightly. Choose a light texture in hot weather — for example ACM Duolys Légère.
4. Protect with SPF50. The most important step. A water-light gel such as Heliocare 360° Water Gel sits comfortably under the heat.

Evening

• Cleanse twice if you wore sunscreen or make-up: micellar lotion first, then your usual cleanser.
• Apply your treatment or serum — for blemish-prone skin, Biretix Double Correction Serum.
• Finish with moisturiser. Around the eyes, use a dedicated product such as Endocare Renewal Eye Contour.

Three habits that matter more than products

• Reapply sunscreen every two hours outdoors.
• Be patient — most treatments need 6–8 weeks to show results.
• Introduce one new product at a time, so you know what works and what doesn't.
