Looking after oily skin in the sunshine☀️
Here in Wales it is absolutely boiling outside at the moment - something we’re not quite used to here at all! Now the weather is heating up and it’s time to slap on the sunscreen more often, it can be tricky keeping oily complexions cool and balanced. Here are some quick and easy tips for dealing with this very problem 👇
To start the day off as squeaky clean as possible, use a gentle, foaming cleanser in the morning. This will dissolve oil and impurities while leaving your skin feeling cool and soothed before hitting the hot sunshine. Look for cleansers containing charcoal, clay or salicylic acid to give your skin the head-start it needs.
There’s nothing more refreshing than whipping out a bottle of cooling spray to use all over while you’re on holiday after a long day at the beach. While we’re not able to venture out further than our front door at the moment, you can recreate that same instant relief by using a spritz toner throughout the day. Simply spray the toner over your face for a quick pick-me-up which will leave your skin feeling hydrated and mattified in seconds.
3. Powder your nose (and face!)
A priceless discovery I made a few years ago was powdered sunscreen. Instead of lathering myself in thick creams that leave me as shiny as a disco ball, this alternative formula makes my skin matte and healthy-looking. I like to top it up during the day with a spare powder brush, which means it also doubles up as a translucent powder over make-up. It’s a win-win!
4. Get a little help from your tools
I’ve recently added a muslin cloth and silicone cleansing brush to my daily skincare routine. I use the muslin cloth with micellar water and the silicone cleansing brush with my foaming cleanser, and they’ve both enhanced the efficiency of my skincare products massively. They can help with skin texture as well as providing a deep clean - something we all need after sweating in the sun. I also use a Face Halo to remove my make-up at night, which gives a gentle yet powerful cleanse after a long day.
If you’ve been busy tanning outside and you’ve got a video call coming up with an employer, teacher or best friend, blotting papers can bail out oily skin in no time. They’re a quick and easy way to mattify oily hot-spots like the T-zone, and they don’t make your skin feel clogged up in a way re-powdering with make-up can. On top of that they’re incredibly cheap too, so they can benefit anyone and everyone.
