In order to avoid skin blemishes, it often makes sense to change our skinChange your care routine. Do you have problematic skin and don't know what your skin care routine should look like in summer? Then you've come to the right place! In today's article we have put together the best care tips for you that you should follow for a radiant and healthy facial appearance!
The right facial cleansing for problematic skin & care in summer
Impure and problematic skin can be easily recognized by its large-pored, oily, shiny appearance and poor blood circulation. The complexion appears irregular and can show pimples and blackheads, especially in the hot summer months. For this reason, thorough and mild cleaning is an absolute must in summer. To avoid putting too much strain on your skin, it is better to use a gentle, foaming, water-based cleanser in hot and humid conditions. Cleansing water with herbal ingredients or products that contain salicylic acid have a particularly calming effect. Such would be, for examplehypoallergenic products from Cliniqueideal for deeply cleansing the skin and removing any make-up and dirt residue. Clinique is undoubtedly one of the most popular brands for daily skin care, offering the right care products for every skin type and age.
The so-called “Double Cleanse” is particularly beneficial for the care of problematic skin in summer. In the first step, the make-up is removed and in the second step, the skin is completely freed of excess sebum and dirt particles. To maintain a summery complexion, you can use a gentle peeling once or twice a week. When the dead skin cells are removed, sunlight can tan the skin more evenly. However, you should avoid mechanical peelings and instead use gentle enzyme peelings.
Use light textures and creams
Since problematic skin produces more oil in summer, using the same rich creams as in winter can clog pores and trigger pimples and acne. Even when the weather is humid and hot, you still need to keep your skin hydrated, even if it feels oily and greasy. Light moisturizers with green tea or antibacterial ingredients like zinc are ideal for anyone struggling with blemished skin in the heat. The gentle gel textures feel incredibly refreshing and can also be spread very well on the facial skin. You can replace the intensive night cream with a light and nourishing facial serum.

Problematic skin & care in summer: Use products with integrated sun protection factor
In order to avoid possible pigment spots and sunburn, adequate sun protection is simply essential in the hot season. But so that you don't burden your problem skin with an additional layer of cream in summer, you should choose a day cream that already contains a sun protection factor. A day cream with an SPF of 30 is completely sufficient for everyday life and products with an SPF of 50 are ideal for the beach. Here, too, we recommend that you choose lighter textures, as a cream that is too greasy can clog the pores and thus lead to inflammation and pimples.
Which makeup is suitable for summer?
Most women feel more comfortable with makeup and can hardly imagine leaving the house without makeup. But especially in the hot summer months, when we sweat significantly more, dirt builds up underneath the make-up and the result is clogged pores and unsightly pimples. Especially if you have problematic skin, you should give it a little break from applying make-up and ideally avoid wearing make-up completely for a few days a week. But that wouldn't be an option for you? Then go for a subtle andnatural makeupand use a light and oil-free foundation. A tinted day cream or a light face powder can also hide imperfections, but feel much lighter than foundation.
