Summer Skin Routine: Oily

Summer is officially here. It’s the perfect season to lighten up on your makeup and show off your skin. Which means following a skin care regimen is important to get the perfect #nofilter makeup-free skin.

The warm, humid weather that summer brings means it’s prime breakout time. Humidity stimulates oil production, which settles in your pores and clogs them. Plus heat opens up pores even more and causes you to sweat, making skin vulnerable to acne causing bacteria. 

Your skin has different needs depending on the time of the day. That’s why there is an AM and PM routine for better and healthier skin. 

In the morning your skin needs protection from environmental aggression. Things like pollution, sun, dust and debris can really effect your skin’s health. 

This milky cleanser will gently cleanse your skin in the morning. Rinse well.

This toner refreshes and balances your skin while helping dissolve surface oil. The rose water mist smells amazing in the morning, too!

This is the perfect summertime moisturizer. It’s very light and the salicylic acid controls oiliness. Even though your skin is oily, you still need to use moisturizer to support your skins barrier function.

Never miss to wear your sunscreen. Yes, just like you won’t leave your house without your clothing.

Apply Daily Light Guard SPF 30 every morning. It’s UVA and UVB full spectrum protection for your skin. This lightweight mineral-based sunscreen won’t clog your pores or make your skin shiny.

Apply with fingertips since it’s very thick to apply with brush. Let it stay for 15-20 minutes for maximum results. Rinse well and follow with Oil Control Lotion.

Drink enough water for your body. I usually take count my body weight and divide in half, that number is my body’s water amount in ounces. Exercise 3-4 times a week for healthy body and mind. As we all know our skin and body changes with seasons and our lifestyle. Monthly facials are a must, to keep all your skin care recommendations current and season appropriate. Enjoy!
