When one of India’s most influential Ayurveda experts speaks about summer skincare, people listen. Acharya Balkrishna, the man behind the Patanjali empire, recently took to Facebook with some refreshingly simple (and zero-cost) advice for keeping your skin healthy this summer season.

Summers in India are no joke. The heat has you sweating constantly, and with every drop of sweat, your body loses precious moisture. Acharya Balkrishna’s advice is straightforward: keep sipping fluids throughout the day, not just when you’re parched.

Regular hydration keeps your skin from drying out and looking dull. Think of it as watering a plant. A little at a time, all day long.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth. That third cup of chai or coffee is working against your skin in the heat. Caffeinated drinks can leave you more dehydrated than before. Balkrishna recommends going back to basics, the kind of drinks your grandmother swore by.
He recommends fresh fruit juice for vitamins and hydration, and nimbu pani for cooling. Also, there is coconut water, which is nature’s sports drink.
No fancy supplement required. These three drinks are doing more for your skin than any summer serum you’ll find online.
This is where Balkrishna’s Ayurvedic roots really show. He specifically calls out cucumber, kakdi, watermelon, and muskmelon as summer’s best skin foods. These aren’t just tasty. They are packed with water content and cooling properties that hydrate your skin from the inside out. His advice? Eat them freely and often. No portion control needed here.
