5 best summer skincare tips to beat breakouts

The longer days of summer are the ones we love to enjoy. But spending more time outdoors in the heat, exposure to sun and dehydration can trigger acne breakouts, particularly around the nose, chin and forehead. Here are 5 of the best ways to rebalance the skin and reduce breakouts.

1. Start with consistent cleansing

Consistent cleansing is essential to maintain skin barrier function and remove daily impurities that can contribute to breakouts. Enjoy the Balancer Cream Cleanser to remove dirt and makeup, without disrupting the lipid balance in the skin that can cause excess sebum production. Our Balancer cleanser is powerful enough to deeply cleanse yet gentle enough to use every day.

2. Introduce double cleansing

Yes, you can double cleanse with the same product. Our top tip for the Balancer Cream Cleanser: Wet face and hands with warm water and start by removing any eye makeup by gently massaging a small amount of cleanser around the eyes then rinse thoroughly. Follow by gently massaging a second application of the cleanser into the face and neck, using upwards circular motions, and rinse thoroughly.

3. Leave spots alone

If spots do appear, resist the urge to pick, pop or squeeze them. Doing this only increases redness and inflammation, which means it will take longer for the skin to heal. Instead, treat your skin kindly by cleansing your skin at least once a day (ideally in the evening), replenishing lost moisture with the Reviver Hydrating Mist and a gentle facial massage with the Ally Recovery Facial Oil.

4. Feed your skin

Eating foods which have anti-inflammatory, high vitamin and omega-rich content is vital in supporting healthy skin year round. To help skin heal from breakouts, enjoy a handful of nuts and seeds which are high in selenium and zinc, or pop them in your morning smoothie for a cooling and nourishing way to start the day this summer.

5. Weekly mask treatment

To rehydrate typically parched oily-prone skin, give your skin a drink with the Saviour Moisture Mask. This is a face mask you can use every day if you want to. You read that right. Every day. Soothing and calming, Saviour replenishes moisture and hydrates the skin whenever you need it. And whose skin doesn’t want some of that?
