Top 5 Summer Skin Issues – Solved
Summer brings us many great things to enjoy – Cold ice cream, long days at the beach, sunsets at 8:00pm and what we love the most, the sun. However with all of these hot-weather activities during the summer season comes certain skin issues that drive most of us nuts.
1. Your Face Is an Oil Slick
Since humidity boosts oil production, oilier skin will benefit from swiping on a toner twice a day. A weekly clay mask will draw out impurities, but be careful using these as they can also be drying to your skin. I LOVE Epicuren’s Volcanic Clay Purifying Mask.
2. Your Chest and Back Break Out
Most of us sweat pretty easily on our chest and back when the weather turns up the heat. Products that we use in our hair are often the culprits for causing break outs on our back and chest. Once combined with the oils from our hair and sweat from our bodies, this unique combination has the potential to aggravate the skin and cause breakouts. If you find yourself sweating like crazy whether you are indoors or out, try to keep your hair off of your back and shoulders, and utilize a toner like Epionce Purifying Lytic Toner both morning and night on your chest and back to keep skin cleansed, refreshed and clear.
3. Your Arms and Legs Look Like Chicken Skin
If you’re seeing little red bumps on your skin, you’re most likely suffering from keratosis pilaris — bumpy chicken skin that normally crops up on the backs of your upper arms and legs. Try using a lotion with alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids to dissolve the bumps, but do not try to scrub them off with a loofah, as this could worsen your condition. Try Epionce Renewal Body Lotion or Prescribed Solutions Slimming and Contouring Cream.
4. You’re Prone to Ingrown Hairs
To avoid unsightly razor burn, hydrate thirsty skin with a shave cream rich in essential oils, or forgo the blade altogether and use a shea-butter-infused depilating cream. Better yet and certainly worth the investment as it will be sure to triple its worth over time is Laser Hair Removal. NEVER deal with ingrown hairs, shaving or waxing ever again – with just 4 to 6 treatments you will be hair free and care free indefinitely.
5. Your Sunscreen Makes You Break Out
Most sunscreens are packed with a myriad of chemicals that can not only aggravate the skin, but once combined with sun and sweat these formulas can create a chemical reaction that will inspire breakouts. Try to find oil-free or non-comedogenic sunscreens that don’t have complicated formulas and feature broad spectrum protection with Zinc Oxide. Try Epionce SPF 50 Sunscreen.
