Sweat-Proof Skincare: How to Maintain Your Glow in Hot Weather

Summer brings sunshine, beach days, and a serious skincare challenge: heat, humidity, and sweat. If your glow tends to turn into a greasy shine or you’re suddenly dealing with clogged pores, you’re not alone.

The good news? With the right summer skincare strategies and in-clinic treatments, you can stay fresh, clear, and radiant all season long.

☀️ Why Skin Acts Up in Summer

Heat and humidity increase sweat and sebum production, leading to:

  • More oil on the surface of the skin

  • Congested pores and blackheads

  • More frequent breakouts

  • Makeup breakdown and patchiness

  • A shiny or uneven texture

Even dry or sensitive skin can get thrown off balance with rising temperatures.

💧 Sweat-Proof Skincare Tips

Here’s how to keep your skin clear and comfortable—even on the hottest days.

1. Switch to a Gel or Lightweight Cleanser

Thicker, creamy cleansers can leave a residue that clogs pores in summer. Try a gentle gel-based or foaming cleanser that removes sweat and buildup without over-drying.

Clinic tip: Look for formulas with salicylic acid, green tea, or tea tree oil for extra pore-clearing power.

2. Use a Mattifying or Oil-Free Moisturizer

Hydration is still essential—even in humidity. Use a water-based moisturizer with ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or squalane to lock in moisture without heaviness.

Pro tip: Skip the thick creams during the day and save them for nighttime.

3. Don’t Skip Sunscreen (Even If You're Sweating)

Opt for a broad-spectrum, non-comedogenic SPF 30+ that’s labeled oil-free or water-resistant. Reapply every 2 hours—especially if you’re outdoors or perspiring.

Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide tend to stay in place better and are less irritating for breakout-prone skin.

4. Keep Blotting Papers or Micellar Mist On Hand

Blotting papers are a game-changer for mid-day shine. Pair them with a hydrating facial mist to refresh and reset your skin without stripping moisture.

🌿 In-Office Treatments for Summer Skin

Combat congestion and summer-induced flare-ups with treatments designed to purify and protect:

✔️ DiamondGlow Facial

Deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse hydration—without irritation. Perfect for reducing oiliness and brightening dull summer skin.

✔️ Emface

Stimulate collagen, elastin, and facial muscles. You can get a firmer, smoother, and more sculpted look—all without interrupting your summer plans. Plus, Emface increases hyaluronic acid to add to that beautiful glow.

✔️ PRX Derm Perfexion

Delivers the benefits of a biostimulating peel—like firmer, brighter, more even-toned skin—without exfoliation, peeling, or downtime.

Because it doesn’t increase sun sensitivity, PRX is safe to use year-round, even during high UV months. It’s ideal for refreshing skin dulled by heat, travel, or sunscreen buildup—giving you a radiant, glassy finish with zero disruption to your summer routine.

Bonus: These treatments are non-invasive, quick, and leave your skin feeling cool, clean, and renewed.

🌞 A Summer Skincare Mindset
