Skincare Tips for Humid Weather

By March 17, 2020May 11th, 2023Skin Care

In humid weather, maintaining radiant skin can be challenging since sweat tends not to evaporate quickly, resulting in blocked pores. Moreover, the high level of humidity stimulates sebaceous glands to produce an increased amount of sebum, resulting in an oily and shiny appearance. Consult with a dermatologist about the best skincare routine tailored for you on hot, humid summer days; the following tips may be helpful for most people, however.

Proper Cleansing and Moisturizing

 

Washing skin with a mild soap or cleanser is crucial to help keep skin clear. Choose soaps that suit your skin’s oil level and sensitivity. Cleansers are vital in helping to remove impurities, balance skin pH, strip sweat off the surface, and unclog pores. However, ensure that you pick one that is right for your skin type; one of our dermatologists can help you find one that will keep your skin clear without overdrying.

Get Rid of Dead Skin and Acne Scars by Exfoliating and Antioxidizing

Exfoliation is also an important skincare step in humid weather. Naturally, skin tends to rejuvenate by continually shedding dead cells; if these skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin, they can block pores and prevent the skin from absorbing skincare products, leading to breakouts. Exfoliating once every one or two weeks helps remove this buildup and keep skin smooth. Additionally, the use of an antioxidant can help even out the skin and fade acne scars. Professional services such as facials and peels can provide more pronounced results.

Taking good care of the skin can not only give it a healthy look, but it can also improve your confidence and self-esteem.
