For many summer means oily complexions. Summer heat can send oil glands into overdrive, creating a natural glow that may be too much of a good thing. There are some basic things that may help your skin problem.
Avoid the Sun!
Being out in the sun will only make you face sweaty, while also exposing you to the harmful effects of UV rays. Additionally, the sun can cause a paradoxical increase in oil secretion, making your skin even greasier! During the hours of 10AM – 3PM, the sun is at its strongest, emitting almost unbearable light and heat. So avoid the sun particularly during this time. Also, try to cover your head and wear sunglasses.Exercise in the early morning and evening hours. Use a sunscreen that is oil free.

Always remember to cleanse and exfoliate your skin!
Salicylic Acid is a great naturally derived active that works by exfoliating the oil producing glands and the follicles. It also reduces the amount of oil secreted by the skin! Using this ingredient will help prevent and treat oily skin, blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and even prickly heat! So, look for a face wash and a cream with this miracle active for clearer and less oily skin!

Don’t over wash!
Although we feel sweatier during the hot weather, it is not healthy to shower or wash your face more than twice a day. When you over wash, your skin loses much needed moisture, making it believe that it should produce more oil to give it back its hydration. If you need an extra shower do not use body wash , just a quick 5 minute under the cold water. Same goes for your face.
Hydrate your skin!
When skin is not balance, it will over produce oils to compensate for the dryness. To balance your skin, look into using a oil-free moistizer.
Formulated with Camellia Tea Leaf. Targets oily and dry areas so skin stays in perfect balance. Suitable for sensitive skin. Hypoallergenic.
Winter is gone so change your routine!
In the winters we tend to add extra products to give back moisture to our skin such as cold creams and serums. Stop those extra products and use light moisturizing lotions or gels instead. You will feel more refreshed and your skin will be less oily as well!
Reduce the Makeup!
While it may feel like you can’t live without your foundation, in the summer weather, its best to go without. Extra products on an already sweaty face can only serve to increase the clogged pores, making your skin more pimple-prone. Instead, stick to powders, tinted moisturizers or just plain concealer.
If you follow these easy steps your skin will thank you at the end of the summer when your skin is clear and glowing!
