If you suffer with acne, you may notice things get worse in the summer.
Warmer temperatures increase our skin’s oil production, and this, combined with sweat, make up and sunscreen application, causes clogging within the pores, leading to breakouts.
We wanted to share, in a bit more detail, some of our top tips for preventing breakouts this summer…
1. Clean twice a day your face by using the face cleansers suitable for your skin. Use singe cleanse in the morning and double cleanse in the evening. Always use face cloth in your cleaning routine. Use Clinisoothe+ as the part of your cleansing routine.
2. Ditch oil based moisturiser- use oil free moisutriser only such as Hydrogel.
3. Use the correct form of vitamin A to increase cell turnover and improve breakouts, as well as treating skin texture. It is safe to use in summer, just be strict with SPF!
4. Use oil-free SPF that provde broad-spectrum protection. We recommend Heliocare products.
5. Go easy on ice creams- sugary or high-glycemic food cause a spike in insulin levels, which increases oil production.
6. Opt for oil-free, mineral make up such as Jane Iredale to keep congestion at bay and prevent breakouts.
7. Use a cleasning clay mask such as Miracle Mask by Hydropeptide– apply each evening when the weather is hot to treat and prevent breakouts.
