How To Sweat-Proof Your Skincare
A Step-by-Step Guide to Freshen Up, Rain or Shine
We all know the struggle: trying to keep our skin looking fabulous in hot and humid weather. That sticky feeling before it rains or the greasiness on a scorching afternoon can totally ruin a good skin day. And washing your face repeatedly? It just strips away your skin’s natural moisture and glow.
But don't sweat it! There are ways to survive the harsh elements without looking like you’ve just run a marathon. Here are some hacks to weather-proof your daily skin regimen so you can reduce breakouts and keep your skin healthy and radiant.
- Kick Off with a “Kind” Cleanser
On those muggy days, it's natural to go overboard with cleansing. But make sure to use a mild anti-bacterial cleanser that’ll effectively sweep away dirt, sweat, and makeup, while keeping your skin’s natural oils in check. Perfectly prepped pores? You bet.
