Summer Hints From Body Bistro: Get Rid Of That Facial Oil Slick

Summer is fast approaching! The hot, humid weather can wreak havoc on your skin and send your sebum production into overdrive. If you’re not careful, your complexion can become oily and sweaty which can lead to clogged pores.

Just because your face has that excess shine, doesn’t mean you don’t need a moisturizer. Neither oil nor sweat hydrate skin. While lack of oil makes skin more vulnerable to sun, temperature contrast and other environmental factors, excessive sebum clogs pores. On a hot summer day, sweat evaporates from the skin’s surface - oil does not - making your complexion even dryer and also prone to acne.

The wrong moisturizer can also cause sweatiness and excess oil making you feel hot and look extra shiny. Body Bistro Apricot + Neem Facial Rejuvenating Elixir (Suggested Retail Price, $23.00) is a light gel that makes your skin feel comfortable without leaving an oily residue. Best of all, this elixir corrects moisture levels by balancing sebum production and also provides a protective barrier to lock in your skin’s natural moisture. It refines skin texture, reduces the visible signs of aging, and protects the skin from environmental damage.

Since skin needs to be cleansed more frequently in the summer months, avoid harsh cleansers that dry out your face since your oil glands will work even harder to compensate for the loss of natural oil. Also skincare products that leave your skin feeling taut and dehydrated tend to cause the upper layers of the skin to shrink, which will then restrict oil flow through the pores leading to blockages and breakouts.

Body Bistro Apricot + Clove Cleansing Gelle (Suggested Retail Price, $25.00) will free the skin of pollutants, make-up and other impurities while normalizing oil levels and fighting blemishes. Massage all over face using warm water in the summer months since it dissolves oil better than cold water.
