Summer Skincare Tips for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin You Need To Follow Now!

We all know that healthy skin boosts self-confidence and enables an individual to pursue his personal and professional goals effortlessly. While beauty is not skin-deep, yet skincare is an integral part of our overall healthcare. So we should always strive to invest time and money into making a life-long commitment to skin-care.

Our skin is never quite safe from the dirt, dust and pollution all around us, and with summers just around the corner it is essential for us to look for ways to manage extra-sweat, dirt and grime to accumulate on the skin’s surface. The summers are especially tragic for oily skinned ladies who are prone to sprout pimples due to the extremes of humidity and heat. Clean and Clear offers a wide variety of products which targets problematic skin and is perfect for summers, so read on to find out how to take care of your skin in summer and incorporate Clean and Clear products in your skincare regimen.

Here are some tips and tricks to let your skin adjust to the harsh summers of a subtropical country, and give the required boost to your self-confidence:

1. Get Adequate Sleep

Most adults require about 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night, but the busy schedule of our work (and play) seldom allows us to take adequate rest. Furthermore, most of us have become nocturnal beings as we tend to stay up way past midnight hooked to our phones or tabs. Sleep is an absolute necessity for our general healthcare because our body flushes out toxins more effectively, during its state of rest. By hampering the body’s natural process, we make ourselves vulnerable to a variety of health issues. Acne is one such issue, and a proper good night’s sleep is crucial to the skin’s healing ability.

2. Change Your Pillow Covers and Wipe Your Phone

Your pillow cover accumulates all the bacteria from not only your face but also your hair and other body parts. And like your pillow, your phone is a breeding ground for a variety of bacteria. It is important therefore, to disinfect any surface that comes in frequent contact with your face.

3. Avoid Touching Your Face Throughout The Day

This tip might seem very simplistic, but you have no idea how many times you touch your face throughout the day. Restraining your urges to fidget with your face is a simple but effective way of preventing the introduction of additional bacteria on your skin’s surface. This is the most difficult step in this list and you’ll notice a major difference in your facial appearance after a while.

4. Use a Mild Cleanser to Wash Your Face

You must wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser which contains an adequate balance of chemicals and organic ingredients. The Clean & Clear Pimple Clearing Face Wash can act as your regular cleanser, it includes mild surfactants like Triethanolamine and organic products such as aloe-vera, passion-fruit, lemon and neem extracts. Aloe vera is known for its soothing properties, lemon is a mild exfoliant, while passion fruit and neem are great antioxidants. What’s even better? This face wash is priced at just Rs 94/- for 80 grams of product which will last you at least a month. It must be remembered that this cleanser is best for preventing pimples rather than reducing inflamed active acne. So if you’re looking for a budget cleanser specifically targeted towards pimples then do give this product a try.

5. Moisturize

Oily skinned people sometimes assume that a moisturizer will only aggravate their oily/sticky situation. But it must be kept in mind that oily skin can also be dehydrated, i.e. your facial sebum maybe caused by your skin overcompensating for the lack of moisture. So regardless of your skin-type, be it oily, combination or dry, it is integral to moisturize. Oily-skinned people should use a non-comedogenic moisturizer, i.e. something that doesn’t clog their pores. Clean & Clear Oil-Free Moisturizer with an oil-free base is the perfect product to repair the moisture barrier of your skin, while also healing your pimples as it contains Salicylic Acid.

6. Use Sunscreen

The final step towards your skincare is using Spf to protect your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB Rays of the sun. It is preferable for people with acne-prone skin to use a product which is non-comedogenic and sweat-resistant.

Follow these 6 simple steps to get a radiant glow and healthy skin for these tough summer months. While always keeping in mind, that skincare is not just about beauty, but health.
