Time to Switch Your Skin Care Routine
by Watsons International Marketing 2012
Switch your skin care product and skincare routine to the summer ones which are more suitable for your skin to adapt to the high temperature and strong sunshine. Here are the lists you need to do as soon as possible!
1) Change to Gel or Foaming Face Cleansers In summer, you sweat and build up oily skin. Therefore, you need to change from winter’s moisture based cleansers to low moisture gel or forming based ones to make sure you are cleaning all the oil out of your face instead of adding more.
2) Use Oil-absorbing Products Using oil-absorbing product to minimize the appearance of pores is a necessary skin care regimen in summer as there will be extra humidity and oil layers forming on your skin under hot weather, so you need to make your skin shine. Oil- blotting papers is one of good products to absorb excess oil and sweat in summer.
3) Stop using rich moisturizers The rich creamy moisturizer is a must for you to get rid of dry flaky skin in winter. However, when summer arrives, those rich moisturizers need to be changed and went for a light well-formulated toner gel or serum to give your skin essential substances it needs to stay young without adding more oil to it.
4) Using sunscreen is a must It will be very oily to have thick sunscreen lotion on face in summer. It will be a good idea to use a matte sunscreen or a foundation with sunscreen instead to avoid oily skin. This can provide you the sun protection without making it feel greasy.
5) Using toner The astringent properties of the toner soothe and cool the skin and also close up the open pores which help in controlling oil production. It is a must to use toner in summer to wipe the excessive oily areas of your face like forehead and areas around your nose.
6) Lower the makeup During summer, one of the methods for how to prevent oily face is to go lower on your makeup; substitute the heavy foundation for tinted moisturizing creams containing silicon that does not dissolve into the pores and clog them. This also creates a barrier between the skin and the heat, so that you can have more protection for your skin.
