Summer is a beautiful time of year. The weather is warm; the days are long. But, summertime can also bring oily skin, blackheads and breakouts. With a few changes in your skin care routine, you can keep your skin looking and feeling great all summer long.
1. Control Oil
Heat and humidity can cause oil glands to work overtime. Control oiliness by washing your face with a foaming cleanser twice daily. If your skin gets exceptionally oily, you can do a midday cleansing too.
But don't get into the habit of cleansing too often. For some, a once per day cleansing may be all the skin can tolerate. Cleansing too often can break down the skin's protective barrier, causing excessive dryness and irritation, and ultimately worsen breakouts.
Some dermatologists advise letting the cleanser sit on the skin for a few seconds before rinsing well. You can try an oil-absorbing clay mask a few times per week (less if you notice dryness or irritation).
