Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but it can also be a season of acne breakouts for many. The combination of heat, humidity, and increased oil production can clog pores and lead to unwanted blemishes. Don’t let acne get in the way of your summer glow! Here are some practical tips to help you avoid breakouts and keep your skin clear and healthy all summer long.
1. Cleanse Your Face Before and After Sun Exposure
Sunscreen is a must in summer, but it can also mix with sweat and oils, leading to clogged pores if not properly removed. Make it a habit to cleanse your face both before applying sunscreen and after spending time outdoors. This helps to remove any residue that could contribute to breakouts.
Product Highlight: Revision Purifying Cleansing Gel Our Revision Purifying Cleansing Gel is perfect for deep cleaning without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. It effectively removes sunscreen, oils, and impurities, leaving your skin fresh and ready for your next adventure.
2. Wash Your Makeup Brushes Regularly
Makeup brushes can harbor bacteria, oils, and old makeup, which can transfer to your skin and cause breakouts. Washing your brushes regularly helps to keep your skin clear and prevents the spread of acne-causing bacteria.
Product Highlight: Hyacyn Active Spray For an added layer of cleanliness, use our Hyacyn Active Spray to disinfect your brushes after washing. This antimicrobial spray ensures your brushes are not just clean but also free of any lingering bacteria.
3. Choose the Right Sunscreen for Your Skin Type
Not all sunscreens are created equal. Some can be too heavy or greasy, especially for acne-prone skin. Opt for a non-comedogenic sunscreen that won’t clog your pores and is suitable for your specific skin type.

4. Exfoliate Regularly
Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and prevent them from clogging your pores. However, be gentle and avoid over-exfoliating, which can irritate your skin and worsen acne.
Product Highlight: Skin Better AlphaRet Peel Pads
Our SkinBetter AlphaRet Peel Pads offer a convenient and effective way to exfoliate your skin. These pads combine the power of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and retinoids to promote cell turnover and unclog pores, revealing smoother, clearer skin. The peel pads are designed to provide gentle exfoliation, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving overall skin texture without the harshness of traditional exfoliants.
5. Use a Mask to Deep Clean
Using a purifying mask can help draw out impurities and reduce the risk of breakouts. Incorporate a mask into your weekly skincare routine for best results.
Product Highlight: Detoxifying Scrub Mask by SkinBetter
The Detoxifying Scrub Mask, on the other hand, is designed to rejuvenate and refresh the skin by drawing out toxins and impurities. This mask features ingredients such as charcoal and clay, which work together to cleanse the skin thoroughly. It not only purifies but also helps to soothe and calm the skin, making it perfect for a detoxifying treatment that leaves your skin feeling revitalized.
6. Incorporate Retinol into Your Routine
Retinol is a powerful ingredient known for its ability to promote cell turnover and prevent clogged pores. It can be particularly effective in preventing and treating acne.
Product Highlight: The SkinBetter Alpharet Clearing Serum is a retinol serum. It contains a 1.0% retinol cream. It does not have SPF capabilities or should you use in sun exposure. It is designed to improve skin texture and clarity, reducing the appearance of acne and preventing future breakouts. As retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, we highly recommend using it only at night.
Keeping acne at bay during the summer doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With the right skincare routine and products, you can enjoy clear, healthy skin all season long. Remember, consistency is key, and always pair your acne-fighting products with a good SPF to protect your skin from the sun. Don’t forget to explore our range of products to find the perfect additions to your summer skincare routine.
