Fix Those Summer Breakouts Fast

In the summer, our skin tends to get oily from all the humidity that leads to sweat. Sweat clogs your pores and that causes unneeded breakouts. Here are a few products that will help you fix those problems.

Switch up Your Sincare Routine


"Use pads containing glycolic acid or salicylic acid and add an astringent in the morning," explains Dr. Sadick.
Remove dead skin cells and trapped bacteria with these easy-to-use pre-saturated discs.

Use Oil-Eliminating Ingredients


"Products containing sulfur and salicylic acid create a drying effect, which protects skin from excessive sweating."
Six percent sulfur in this mask will stop oil in its tracks.

Choose the Right Sunscreen


Choose ones formulated especially for faces and are labeled non-commedogenic, meaning they won't clog your pores. "Try Neutrogena Clear Face Sunblock SPF 30," suggests Dr. Sadick. Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30, $9.  


Be Prepared on the Go


Dr. Sadick recommends keeping blotting papers with you to degrease skin when you're out and about. They won't mess up your makeup!
These blotting papers smell surprisingly fresh!

Don't Go Overboard


"Using harsh soaps and astringent too frequently can lead to irritation."
This cleanser has salicylic acid to unclog pores, but won't strip skin or make you feel too dry.
