Acne Skincare in Summer

Posted on March 23, 2008 in Latest News

The sticky, hot days of summer, with their increased humidity and sun exposure can cause some serious damage to our skin, especially those of us that have acne and sensitive skin. And We all know that summer is a time of fun and sun, beaches and sand, possibly more alchohol intake (if you’re of age of course!), and other habits that can dry out our skin and cause further irritation and inflammation, the primary cause of acne.

If you suffer from acne you may want to take some precautions before hitting the beach or any other sunny destination like amusement parks or other leisure activities where your skin will be exposed for prolonged periods of time to the harsh sun.

The problem with sun exposure and acne is also that the sun simply burns the topmost layer of the facial skin. It doesn’t get to the heart of the cause of acne, but rather acts as a very temporary and very damaging solution to covering up or drying up acne.

Thankfully, it is also during summer when all living things, be it plants or animals, reach their full potential. Therefore it is a wise idea to make the most of fruits and veggies that comes this season. Fruits do not only supply the much needed vitamins, minerals and enzymes necessary to keep our bodies in top condition. They can also be used as an all-natural face mask to counter skin problems like acne! Among the more popular fruits used in making face masks are apples, apricot, avocado, banana, grape, melon and raspberry.

Some of the advantages of fruits in summer are as follows:
