Have you noticed a trend of having more
acne breakouts and other skin problems during the summertime? Sun exposure
itself does not cause acne to pop-up. The reason is, since skin starts
producing more sebum and we tend to sweat more, it leads to clogged pores and eventually
pimples. Even though we cannot cancel summer weather, we most certainly can keep our skin
healthy by proper skincare.
Here are some tips we have for this summer:
1) Use double cleansing
Double cleansing at night – is one of the
basics of Korean skincare routines we know today. Makeup, sunscreen, and other
impurities tend to clog the pores and we need to make sure we cleansed them all
before applying your skincare.
TIP: Try to use light oil cleansers in the
summer for first stage that will help to melt blackheads and excessive sebum.
2) Switch to a lighter skincare
One of the most common advice, but still worth
mentioning. Each season requires its own type of skincare ingredients – wintertime
is great for ceramides and probiotics, summer it is time for some hyaluronic
acid and extracts!
3) Add weekly exfoliation
Exfoliation has always been a key to clean
and healthy skin and summertime is not an exception. Try adding gentle
exfoliant or enzyme powder into your weekly routine to make sure your pores are
always clean, and you do not have residues or dirt of the skin’s surface.
TIP: After using an exfoliant add some calming
and soothing ingredients like Centella or Aloe Vera to sooth the skin and minimize the appearance of pores.
4) Add some BHA acid!
BHA is most definitely a miracle component when
it comes to pore care. BHA is an oil-soluble type of acid that can penetrate
the pores and help to break down the links between dead skin cells and remove
them from pores and skin’s surface. BHA acid also great fighter against acne
thanks to its antibacterial properties.
One of the best skincare routines based on
BHA-acid that can be used daily is Be The Skin’s PORE ZERO line.

for those, who does not like heavy gel-like textures. Toner also contains natural
BHA acid, which will help to unclog pores and protect skin from bacteria.
