Balancing Greasy Summer Skin

With Summer right around the corner, and temperatures rising, chances are your skin’s moisture content is also rising. But one of the biggest mistakes that people make in the Summer months is to use harsh, over-drying products that are formulated to absorb or combat excess oil. The problem is that the more you strip you skin of natural oils, the harder it will work at producing them. So you wind up with skin that’s still oily, but not possibly flaky and irritated, and essentially, broken out.

European beauty experts have favored natural, oil-based beauty serums to chalky-feeling, oil-free moisturizers for decades. And the reason is that some natural, plant-derived oils can actually retrain the skin to help regulate oil production.

The first time I was ever told to put oil on my skin to stop oil and breakouts, I was shocked! As far as I had always been told by department store makeup brands, oil was  bad, right? Not true. Especially since natural oils like Jojoba Oil and Macadamia Oil are actually very close to the skin’s natural sebum. And Essential Oil Palmarosa also helps to combat acne and balance oil.

So while you may need to use a bit less of your moisturizer, like this Moisture Serum, in the Summer, just because your skin isn’t as dry, it’s still an important part of your Summer beauty routine. Stick to a gentle, exfoliating cleanser to help wash away dirt and dry skin cells, your moisturizer and sunscreen when you need it, and you’ll be simply glowing this Summer!
