The dogs days of summer: how to avoid acne and irritated skin

If your skin in more on the combination or oily side, chances are that the summer is the hardest time for your skin, with almost everything making you break out no matter what you do or try. Of course wearing a mask (we thank you for doing it though!) exacerbates the skin-tuation. Fear not, because there are many ways to combat the dreaded summer acne.

First, deep clean with a fabulous foaming cleanser such as Holika Holika Sparkling Lemon Foam Cleanser (https://skin-zephyr.myshopify.com/products/holika-holika-sparkling-lemon-foam-cleanser). This thick and rich cleanser gently deep cleans skin while keeping your moisture levels in check and brightening with Vitamin C. For more sensitive skin, try 1028 Gentle Cleansing Mousse (https://skin-zephyr.myshopify.com/products/1028-gentle-cleansing-mousse-150-ml-normal-sensitive- jkjskin)

Secondly, toner is the often-skipped but much needed step in your skin care routine that will make sure that every speck of dirt, oil and sebum is completely gone. Our pick is Pureforet Centella Multi Toner (https://skin-zephyr.myshopify.com/products/pureforet-centella-multi-toner).  Four essential ingredients like Centella Asiatica, Madecassic acid, Willow extract, and Tea tree oil work in synergy. They remove unnecessary dead skin cells, and intensively heal the skin.

After the toner completely dries, take a few drops of Dewytree Miracle Pore Minimizing Serum ( https://skin-zephyr.myshopify.com/products/dewytree-miracle-pore-minimizing-serum) which contains Vitamin A for clarity and radiance and Tea Tree for de-gunking and healing, and lightly pat into your skin.

Lastly, you need a good moisturizer to be a "barrier" between your skin and the face mask. We highly recommend PSK Skin Purifier Clarifying Cream (https://skin-zephyr.myshopify.com/products/psk-skin-purifier-clarifying-creamThis light, gentle gel/cream hybrid lightly moisturizing skin keeping the oil from overproducing from excess dryness.

Follow these steps to achieve clear, healthy skin all summer--and all year--long!
