As the weather gets warmer and humidity increases in the environment, your skin’s sebaceous glands start producing excess sebum (natural oil). The oil builds up on the surface of the skin, leading to an excessive oily feel and blocked pores.
Acne breakouts are the most common problem that occur in summer. People with oily skin are more prone to it as the bacteria and oils in the skin mix with the sweat and environmental contributors, such as pollution. Most of us have to work a bit harder to prevent breakouts and minimize sun damage during the summer months.
When your skin is exposed to the harmful UV rays, melanin production increases in order to protect your skin from sun damage. Melanin has photoprotective qualities. Excess melanin results in darker, tanned skin. Other problems can include itchy skin, prickly heat, sunburn and rash due to sensitivity to the sun.
The best summer skin-care advice; maintain a skin care regimen and follow it religiously. Choose gel-based or water-based products rather than cream-based or oil-based products, as the former are lighter and non-greasy. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing daily will help keep your skin clean and fresh.
