Acne is a skin condition that occurs when pores get clogged with oil and dead skin cells, which cause pimples, whiteheads, blackheads and inflamed patches of skin. Although many consider acne to be a problem for teens, acne occurs in males and females of all ages and can occur on the face as well as back, chest, and other truncal areas of the body.
With Summer just around the corner, and the increase of heat and humidity, oil production intensifies, which clogs pores with dirt and debris. Individuals tend to sweat more in the summer, and that sweat then sits on your skin, mixing with all the sticky grime to create the perfect environment for acne-causing bacteria to grow. Also, in summer, due primarily to sweating, people tend to touch their faces more and wipe areas of sweat, both of which exacerbate the potential for acne to appear. Here are a couple of ways to keep acle under control throughout the upcoming summer months:
Although it may seem counter-intuitive to use a moisturizer when your skin is producing excess oil that can lead to acne, it is essential to maintain a healthy skin barrier with high-quality moisturizers. A lightweight moisturizer that contains ceramides, hyaluronic acid (HA), or niacinamide can be beneficial, especially for those with acne-prone skin.
Sunscreen is also a critical component in summer skincare. To help prevent acne flare-ups, using an oil- free mineral-based sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium oxide is your best protection from the sun.
