You're lounging at the pool, soaking in the summer sun, engrossed in a mystery read that keeps you on the edge of your seat. There's nothing to worry about during this waterside sojourn—except maybe the damage the heat is causing to your skin and the negative effects the chlorine will have post-swim. Poolside hangouts sure give you a break from your day-to-day stress, but they're not an escape from your skin and body care regime. It's a no-brainer that you need to devise one for yourself if you're headed waterside. But before you do so, we've detailed out Suhana Khan's routine for you to take inspiration from. Ahead, get the complete lowdown.

Sun's out, sunscreen's on
This one shouldn't be hard to guess. Protecting your face and body from harmful UV rays is non-negotiable on any day you're under the sun, leave alone when you're by the pool. Khan uses a broad-spectrum sunscreen that is lightweight, non-greasy and water-resistant. Her ideal pick would additionally hydrate the skin and provide calming benefits in the heat. Before you step out, slather one on your face and body.

A mist to spritz
If you want to tighten the pores of your skin while enhancing the glow, don't forget to use a mist. Khan's poolside kit includes a face mist that not only locks in moisture in the scorching heat, but also nourishes and brightens it.

Take a tint
What we love about SPF-infused makeup is that it gives a nod to both form and function. When headed to the beach, Khan prefers a CC cream which has a sun protection factor as well. While the tint evens out your skin tone and gives it a glossy finish, the SPF offers an added benefit on days you may forget to pack in the sunscreen.

On everyone's lips
The lips need just as much TLC as any other part of your body. Khan's poolside kit includes Maybelline's New York Baby Lips Color Lip Balm, which is also SPF-infused. Besides preventing dehydration caused by the exposure to sunlight and chlorine, it also saves your lips from dryness and chapping. Just a swipe—and you're good to go.

Going with the glow
Protecting your face and body is great, but it doesn't hurt to add a little bit of radiance when you're at a pool party. Khan's routine includes a face and body bronzer that can easily blend with the sunscreen for a silky texture and luminous bare skin look.
