Sweat, Makeup and Summer Blemishes

Keeping Clear Skin This Summer

With the beautiful sunshine of summer comes a ton of skin care challenges. Sweat, oily skin, sunscreen, melted makeup, hormones, sugary foods…and of course, pimples! Keeping skin free of blemishes seems like a difficult task, but is it?

While it’s a little more complicated for some skin types, adjusting your skincare routine to address your individual skin’s needs during the seasonal changes can help your struggles.

Reduce excess oil and sweat

A gel based cleanser is often more effective at helping clean up excess oil and sweat that often clog the skin’s pores. Gel based formulas are lighter than the cream-based formulas and help quickly freshen up the skin.

Lightweight and softening cleansers help to soothe irritated skin and gently remove all traces of impurities including sun screen to reduce the chance of breakouts.

Do you avoid moisturizer in the summer?

In the hotter and more humid season, our skin tends to produce more natural oils. For some of us, that’s pretty frustrating! Your makeup slides off your face… and you see more breakouts.

Some people think it’s just going to make skin more oily! The truth is, choosing the right formula for hotter seasons makes the difference. Try switching to a lighter moisturizer like the Oxygen Serum.

Here’s what stops blemishes in their tracks

The number one defense of blemishes we recommend is an antibacterial cleanser.

Heat helps bacteria on the skin thrive, which leads to more breakouts. That’s why so many rely on and swear by our acne gel. Some people have a genetic or dietary aspect to their battle for a blemish free beauty. It can sound like a “mission impossible”.

Adjusting your moisturizer, cleanser and using an antibacterial serum can make a big difference in how healthy and clear your skin looks this summer!
