As the summer heat intensifies, so does the challenge of maintaining healthy, radiant skin. Sweltering temperatures, increased humidity and exposure to UV rays can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it greasy and acne-prone. However, achieving a glowing complexion without excessive oiliness is not impossible. By including the right active ingredients into your skincare routine, you can have luminous skin all summer long. In this blog, we’ll explore key ingredients to help combat oiliness and enhance your natural glow.
Salicylic Acid:
Salicylic acid is a go-to ingredient for those struggling with oily skin. This beta-hydroxy acid exfoliates the skin's surface, penetrating deep into the pores to dissolve excess sebum, dirt & dead skin cells. By effectively unclogging pores, salicylic acid helps prevent the formation of acne and reduces the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads. Regular use will leave your skin looking fresh and naturally glowing.
Consider trying Clear-ifying Toner. Salicylic acid cleanses & unplugs pores, while glycolic acid & aloe exfoliate without drying.
Niacinamide:
Niacinamide, aka vitamin B3, is a multitasker that offers numerous benefits for oily skin. It regulates sebum production to minimize excess oil without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. It also has anti-inflammatory properties to help calm irritated skin and reduce redness caused by acne. Additionally, niacinamide helps refine the skin's texture, making it smoother and more even-toned.
Papaya Cleanser contains niacinamide to support the skin barrier and increase resiliency. It also contains papaya fruit enzymes, salicylic acid & vitamin E to gently exfoliate and cleanse. Leaves skin looking fresh all summer long.
Hyaluronic Acid:
While oily skin may seem to have enough moisture, even oily skin needs hydration for a healthy glow. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, ensuring adequate hydration throughout the day. Despite its moisturizing properties, hyaluronic acid is non-greasy, making it ideal for oily skin. By replenishing moisture levels, HA helps balance oil production, preventing your skin from producing more oil.
Skin Replenishing Gel is a soothing gel-based formula with hyaluronic acid and natural plant extracts for optimal hydration. AM Daily Moisturizer SPF 45+ not only contains hyaluronic acid and broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protectors, it also has lactic acid and vitamins B5 & E. The appearance of fine lines & wrinkles is diminished, and the skin is protected against environmental damage.
Green Tea Extract:
Green tea extract is a powerful antioxidant that benefits oily skin. Green tea extract helps regulate sebum production while it protects against environmental stressors. It also has antibacterial properties to help prevent breakouts and soothing, anti-inflammatory properties to reduce redness and irritation.
Mint Facial Polish contains green tea, bearberry and cucumber extracts to draw out impurities and exfoliate dead skin cells without stripping skin of its natural moisture.
Retinol:
Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is a renowned ingredient that addresses many skin concerns. For oily skin, retinol helps control sebum production and prevent clogged pores. By promoting cell turnover, retinol helps shed dead skin cells for a clearer complexion. Additionally, retinol stimulates collagen production to improve the skin’s overall texture and tone for a youthful and radiant appearance.
Eye Perfection Serum with Retinol improves the overall texture and appearance of the delicate eye area. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and copper peptide-1, EPS nourishes and accelerates collagen production.
