Lots of us are starting to work out more to prepare for theĀ SummerĀ months and bikini season. Exercising also providesĀ great benefitsĀ for the body and mind. Besides working out, this summer is expected to be a hot one! Sweat may begin to clog pores just while enjoying the outdoors and the warmer weather.
To help prevent breakouts or acne during these summer months, check out our skin care tips below.
Avoid Makeup
Applying makeup before your workout can contribute to clogged pores and breakouts. When you workout and sweat, your pores open up. Open pores are susceptible to dirt and bacteria getting trapped under the skin. You want your skin to breathe while working out so that sweat can fall off the skin instead of being trapped underĀ makeup.
If youāre confident in your skin without makeup, try using a lighter coverage or ensure that you cleanse your skin immediately after workout with warm water to reopen pores and flush out bacteria.
Cleanse Your Skin
Cleansing your skin daily is important to ensure your pores are free of dirt and bacteria. It is even more critical when you are continuously working out or exposed to outdoor elements such as smog and pollution. During the summer you should wash your face regularly to remove sweat and oils that sit on the skin during the day.
Clear Essence has many fruit andĀ natural cleansersĀ that are perfect for the summer due to their natural ingredients such asĀ lemon,Ā olive,Ā carrot seed oil, andĀ papaya. These sweet scented soaps are perfect for the summer season.
Use Toners
Still feel oily after cleansing your skin? With the increased summer heat, skin oils reproduce at a much quicker rate leaving skin more susceptible to oils and dirt remaining trapped on the skin.
To help close pores and ensure skin is completely clean, try adding aĀ tonerĀ during the summer months to reduce oils and balance the complexion.

Donāt touch your face
The gym is full of germs and bacteria, especially on gym equipment. Due to this, it is very important to avoid touching your face when working out. Since sweat can also transfer to the face from your hair, ensure that you tie your hair back away from your face. You want to prevent spreading any bacteria to your skin.
