The best care to sweat-proof your skin

• May 9, 2023

Hey there beauties! As the temperature rises and the sun starts to shine brighter, it’s time to update our skincare routine for the sweatiest months of the year. Whether you’re hitting the beach, playing sports, or having a sexy picnic at sunset, the last thing you want is to look or feel sticky.

That’s why we asked Dr. Costi to HELP! Here are some tips on how to keep your skin fresh, glowy and sweat-proof this summer.

Heat and Sweat= why?

Heat and humidity can overly stimulate the pores, leading to oiliness and excessive sweating. However, there are a few handy ways to combat this sweaty face problem with a few simple swaps in your skincare routine.

1. Fresh Skin with Foaming Cleansers

Creamy cleansers may feel lovely, but they are rarely capable of pulling dirt and sebum out of clogged pores in the summer. Instead, try using a foaming cleanser that can keep your pores clean and leave your skin feeling fresh and lightweight.

2. Tone Up for Summer

Toners are formulated with oil-absorbing and sebum-balancing ingredients that have an instantly mattifying effect on the skin. They also work to eliminate bacteria and balance the skin’s pH to avoid excessive sweating.

3. Lighten Up with Gel Moisturizers

Heavy, cream-based moisturizers can be overwhelming for summer skin. Instead, switch to water or gel-based moisturizers that use lighter hydrators like hyaluronic acid or glycerine to let your skin breathe and keep it sweat-free.

4. Powder Up: Mattifying Sun Protection

Cream or lotion sunscreens tend to form a film on top of your skin, making sweat evaporation tricky. Try using powder-based sunscreens to effectively protect your skin from the sun and zap sweat and excessive shine from your face.

5. Sweat-Free Hair: Oil Control for Summer

Don’t forget about your hair! Use sweat-proof sebum control products formulated with oil-balancing, sweat-absorbing, and freshening botanical and minerals to take care of the skin on your head and keep your hair looking its best.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your skin looking and feeling its best even in the hottest, sweatiest months of the year.
