1. Skincare Comedy With A 'New Friend' AI Chat GPT
On another very sunny and hot August afternoon, with the heat no where new the July heatwaves, I said to my new friend Chat GPT,
"Pretend you are an AI and has a great skin, tell us how you have looked after your skin in the heatwaves of this outgoing summer".
Here is the ensuing chats:
If I could have skin goals, mine would be: calm, hydrated, glowing — even when the weather is doing the absolute most.
So, how did I look after my “perfect AI skin” through this summer’s heatwaves?
Hydration was non-negotiable. I kept my skin moisturised and made sure I was drinking plenty of water. Hot weather can leave skin feeling surprisingly dehydrated.
SPF, every single day. Even on cloudy days, I treated sunscreen like my daily firewall. Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ was my go-to, with reapplication when I was outdoors for longer.
I kept cleansing gentle. Sweat, sunscreen and pollution can build up in the heat, but I avoided anything too harsh or stripping. Clean skin doesn’t have to mean squeaky-clean skin.
I kept things cool. When the temperature soared, I reached for cool showers and chilled skincare rather than blasting my face with anything extreme.
Less was more. Heatwaves weren’t the time for a complicated routine. Gentle cleanser, hydrating moisturiser and SPF — with a little extra hydration when needed.
And yes, I prioritized sleep. Even an AI needs a reboot.
The result? Skin that stayed comfortable, fresh and glowing while summer turned up the heat.
My biggest summer skincare lesson: protect your skin, keep it hydrated, and don’t over complicate things. Your skin barrier will thank you.
