Glow Without the Grease: Summer Skincare for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

Jul 29

Summer is all about sun, warmth, and that fresh glow—but for oily or acne-prone skin, the heat can bring a different kind of shine.

Increased sweat, humidity, and sunscreen buildup can lead to:

Clogged pores
Breakouts or blackheads
Excess oil that disrupts makeup
Uneven texture and dullness

If you’re tired of blotting papers and midday shine, it’s time to refine your summer skincare—and consider treatments like DiamondGlow® that go beyond surface cleansing. Or PRX that kills bacteria naturally and brightens the skin without any downtime or sun sensitivity.

💧 Why Skin Gets Oily in Summer

When temperatures rise, your sebaceous glands kick into overdrive, producing more oil to protect your skin. Combined with sweat, SPF, and outdoor pollution, this oil buildup can trap bacteria and dead skin cells—causing congestion, inflammation, and breakouts.

The key? Keep your skin hydrated, clear, and gently exfoliated without stripping or irritating it.

🌿 Summer Skincare Tips for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

✅ 1. Switch to a Gel or Foam Cleanser

Choose a lightweight, non-stripping cleanser with salicylic acid or tea tree oil to remove oil without dehydrating your skin.

✅ 2. Hydrate—Don’t Skip Moisturizer

Skipping moisturizer can backfire. Use an oil-free, non-comedogenic formula with hyaluronic acid or niacinamide to hydrate and calm the skin barrier. Preferably, a serum instead of a cream. Check out EakinMD HA Hydrating Serum. It’s a best seller for a reason!

✅ 3. Use a Mattifying Sunscreen

Look for mineral or gel-based SPF 30+ that won’t clog pores. Ingredients like zinc oxide or silica help control shine while protecting against UV damage.

✅ 4. Limit Heavy Makeup Layers

Opt for breathable, non-comedogenic makeup and clean brushes frequently. Consider tinted SPFs or mineral powders as a lighter alternative.

💎 Reset Your Skin with DiamondGlow®

Even with a great at-home routine, summer skin often needs a deeper refresh. That’s where DiamondGlow shines.

This next-level facial uses a diamond-tip wand to:

Exfoliate dead skin and oil buildup
Extract impurities from pores
Infuse customized serums for acne, brightening, or hydration

Unlike traditional facials, DiamondGlow works on multiple levels in one session—making it ideal for acne-prone, congested, or oily summer skin.
