The Ultimate Summer Skincare Routine for Oily Skin ☀️
Hot summer weather brings sunshine, outdoor activities, and unfortunately, an overproduction of oil. Rising temperatures and humidity can cause oily skin types to look greasy, feel heavy, and experience more frequent breakouts. To keep your complexion clear and matte all season long, you need to adjust your products for the heat. At The Salon Professional Academy Holland, we look at the essential steps to control summer shine using top-tier professional formulas from Dermalogica and FarmHouse Fresh.
Step 1: Cleanse with a Purifying Wash
The foundation of a solid summer skincare routine for oily skin is proper cleansing. Sweating and humidity mix with surface oils, leading to clogged pores. Start your morning and night by washing with Dermalogica Active Clay Cleanser. This prebiotic-rich formula uses dual-action kaolin clay and charcoal to actively pull away excess sebum and environmental impurities. It deeply purifies pores without stripping away essential moisture, keeping your skin’s natural barrier perfectly protected.
Step 2: Tone to Balance and Calm
After cleansing, it is vital to balance your skin’s pH levels and tighten the appearance of dilated pores. Mist your face with a refreshing layer of FarmHouse Fresh Vitamin Berry Facial Tonic. This hydrating mist is packed with antioxidant-rich berry extracts and natural skin replenishers that calm hot, flushed summer skin. It delivers a fast shot of nutrients while prepping your skin to absorb the next steps of your routine without adding any heavy weight.
Step 3: Treat and Refine Skin Texture
To keep breakouts at bay and control midday shine, incorporate a targeted serum into your daily routine. Apply a few drops of Dermalogica Age Bright Clearing Serum. This ultra-lightweight formula contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate inside the pore lining, preventing the dead skin buildup that causes summer blemishes. It also helps clear up post-breakout marks and evens out your skin tone, ensuring your complexion looks smooth and radiant.
Step 4: Hydrate with a Matte Finish
Skipping moisturizer when your skin feels greasy is a common mistake that actually triggers your pores to produce more oil. Instead, swap out heavy winter creams for an ultra-lightweight, oil-free formula like FarmHouse Fresh Kale Water Weightless Moisturizer. This breathable, fast-absorbing lotion combines freshly harvested kale extract with skin-replenishing retinoids to smooth out texture and erase wrinkles, leaving a clean, matte finish that lasts all day long.
