Keep Your Skin Happy With These Sweet Treats
Summer is in full swing, and the hot and humid weather can wreak havoc on your skin, regardless of your age. For many, it can mean excessive dryness of the skin, and for acne sufferers, it can mean breakouts all summer long. For those with blemish-prone skin, here are a few tips that can supplement your summer acne treatment routine:
1. Avoid using soap. The chemicals is most over-the-counter soaps can be harsh, and damage the skin, causing it to be drier, rougher and more susceptible to bacteria.
2. Use facial cleansers that contain salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid and plant-based hormone that breaks down skin cells, penetrating them deeply and helping to purify clogged pores. Not only does it help with eliminating blackheads and whiteheads, it also reduces oil production. A facial cleanser that contains at least 1 percent salicylic acid should be used for the best acne treatment results.
3. Moisturize at least twice per day. The perception that oily skin is naturally self-moisturized is a myth - all skin requires moisture in order to retain optimum health. Be sure that your moisturizer is free from oil, fragrances, dyes and perfumes, as well as parabens so that your skin can breathe properly.
4. Don’t over-wash your face. Washing your face excessively will not help acne problems, in fact, the more you wash your face, the more your skin signals the oil glands into producing oil, causing more breakouts. Wash your face no more than two times per day in order to let your skin naturally balance itself.
5. Be sure to wear sunblock. While it may be tempting to let the sun clear your acne, the UVA and UVB rays can damage your skin by causing increased oil production, therefore clogging your pores. Additionally, the sun can make current acne scars appear worse. There are many oil-free sunscreens available on the market, your skin care specialist can recommend a brand that works for you.
