Summer feels like a breath of fresh air with all the holidays, chilled drinks and mango cravings. But if you have acne-prone skin, it often comes with one annoying side effect: acne breakouts! Yes, the mix of sweat, heat, oil and pollution during hot months can lead to stubborn summer skin problems. But the good news is, with the right routine, you can absolutely keep your skin clear and happy.

So, if you are looking for ways to deal with summer breakouts and maintain a healthy glow, here are some skincare tips to keep those pimples at bay.

Why does summer cause more acne?

Hot and humid weather tends to increase sweat and oil production. When this builds up on your skin along with dirt and bacteria, it clogs your pores and triggers breakouts. People with oily or sensitive skin are more likely to notice a rise in acne during summer.

Wearing heavy makeup, skipping sunscreen or using the wrong products can make things worse. Some even notice a sudden increase in breakouts after summer, which is often due to sun damage and neglected skincare.

5 simple ways to deal with summer acne breakouts

Cleanse twice a day
Start your day with a gentle face cleanser to remove overnight oil and end your day with a deep cleanse. Deyga’s Charcoal Face Wash helps detox the skin without drying it out, making it perfect for acne-prone skin.

Use a natural toner
Toning is a step you should never skip in summer. It shrinks pores and controls oil. Looking for one that actively helps in preventing acne? Try Deyga’s Tea Tree Facial Toner which helps calm acne and refresh your skin instantly.

Hydrate your skin and body
Drink plenty of water throughout the day and apply a light moisturiser. Even oily skin needs hydration. Hydrated skin is less likely to produce excess sebum that clogs pores.

Wear a natural sunscreen
Sun exposure can irritate your skin and worsen acne. Go for a lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreen which protects without feeling greasy.

Avoid touching your face
This one is very important! Your hands carry bacteria and dirt. Touching your face can spread germs and cause new pimples to form. Keep your hands clean and your skin cleaner.

Consistency is key to combat summer acne

If you are serious about clear skin, it is important to follow a routine every day. Avoid switching products too often and choose ingredients that are gentle and plant-based. Natural skincare is your best friend in the long run.

Also, pay attention to what you eat. Cut down on deep-fried snacks and dairy-rich items. Eat more fruits and cooling veggies like cucumber and watermelon to reduce heat from within.

Summer acne breakouts are common but definitely manageable. With a little care and the right products, you can keep your skin breakout-free and glowing. Choose clean, natural and toxin free products like Deyga’s skincare range which is specially crafted for summer skincare for acne-prone skin.
