As the temperatures rise and humidity sets in, your skin is often the first to feel the effects of hot weather. Increased sweat, excess oil, and environmental pollutants can clog pores, trigger breakouts, and leave your complexion feeling anything but fresh. But with the right approach (and the right products) you can keep your skin clear, calm, and radiant all season long.
Here’s how to care for your complexion in the heat:
1. Cleanse Gently, But Effectively
Sweat and sunscreen are non-negotiables in summer, but together, they can lead to buildup on your skin. A gentle yet thorough cleanser is essential to remove impurities without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Try: Helande’s Refreshing Cream Cleanser
2. Prioritize Lightweight, Hydrating Moisture
You might be tempted to skip moisturizer when it’s hot, but dehydrated skin can overcompensate by producing more oil, which leads to breakouts. Instead, opt for a lightweight moisturizer that delivers hydration without the heaviness.
Try: Helande’s Quenching Ultra-Hydrating Moisturizer
3. Exfoliate to Prevent Clogged Pores
Dead skin cells mixed with sweat and sebum? That’s a recipe for congestion. Regular exfoliation helps keep pores clear and skin texture smooth, but go easy to avoid irritation in the heat.
Try: Helande’s Beaming Brightening Serum
4. Soothe Skin After Sun Exposure
Long days in the sun can leave your skin feeling parched, tight, or slightly irritated. After cleansing, apply a calming serum to replenish hydration and restore balance.
Try: Helande’s Soothing Restoring Serum
5. Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Sun protection is key to healthy skin year-round, but especially in summer. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that won’t clog pores and apply it daily.
