Summer Skincare: How to Layer Without Greasy Skin
In the summer, your skin can get oily and break out because of heat and humidity.
To avoid this, wash your face with a gentle cleanser and use a hydrating toner or mist.
Then, use a water-based serum with good ingredients like vitamin C or hyaluronic acid.
For moisture, use a light moisturizer or skip it if your sunscreen is hydrating.
Always finish with a matte sunscreen.
Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to remove sweat and oil.
Apply a hydrating toner or mist after cleansing to hydrate the skin.
Choose water-based or gel-based serums with active ingredients.
Opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers.
Finish with a matte-based, broad-spectrum sunscreen.
