In summer, your skin faces the huge challenges with high temperature, scorching sun, sweat, acne, shine and sebum. Wondering how to combat these issues from the inside out? Fret not! You can breeze through the summer heat waves with the four golden rules for summer skincare: Cleansing, Moisturizing, Oil-control and Protection.
The hot weather causes sebaceous glands to be hyperactive and stimulates the secretion of sebum. Some people might over clean their faces as the skin gets greasy. However, this will make the oil and water on your face fall out of balance, leading to a more severe skin issue.
It is a misconception that a moisturizer is not essential in summer, and what one needs is only oil-control. However, as we tend to stay in the air-conditioned room for an extended period of time in summer, the moisture in the skin evaporates quickly making the skin rough, dull and dry.
Summer is the time when the T-zone is most prone to secrete oil and sweat, making the skin condition less stable. In summer, oil control routine is not only about cleansing, but skin conditioning is equally essential.
The usage of sunscreen is the easiest and most effective way to prevent skin aging. A skincare routine without sun protection is incomplete and you may not see the best results from your skin care regimen.
