SUMMER SKIN CARE BASICS
page 1 of 3
Summer's heat can really aggravate teen skin, especially if you're already prone to the greasies. Myjellybean.com has some tips for how to prevent a shiny face and keep your skin looking healthy.
Keep It Clean.
Cleanse your face with an acne-medicated cleanser morning and night, and use a gentle toner after cleansing to further lift out oils from the skin. Don't cleanse more than twice a day though, or you'll overstimulate your oil glands and cause even more greasies!
Pick the Right Products.
If your face is naturally oily, use an oil-free cleanser, like Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Acne Wash. It’s tough on pimples, but not on your skin, even if you don’t have acne-prone skin.
Carry Wipes.
Hit the drugstore to buy some refreshing, oil-removing facial wipes or cloths (Biore makes great ones) and carry them with you in your purse. Use them throughout the day whenever your skin feels shiny - like after a sweaty game of beach volleyball - to freshen your complexion and keep it clear and clean.
