Often summer time means oily skin and breakouts. But with the following tips, you can have flawless skin all year long.

Drinks lots of water: A no-brainer, but often very overlooked; bump up your hydration quotient with lots of water. If you can’t stomach plain water, add fruit to make your own infused waters.

Keep a spot treatment on hand: Tea-tree oil is easy to pack into your travel essentials and contains anti-inflammatory and ant-bacterial properties. Dab a little on a soaked cotton pad on the inflammation to take away any angry redness. If in need to something a little more industrial to zip that zit, carry a skin care travel friendly device that includes blue light technology which penetrates deep below the skins surface to quickly and non-invasively eliminate acne causing bacteria at the source.

Get rid of the acnegenic foods: On our holidays, we often feel this is the time to treat ourselves with sugary treats and ice-cream to keep cool, however it’s no secret that these foods can cause a flare up. Try to limit refined sugar and oily foods to prevent excess oil clogging pores which often become a breeding ground for bacteria.

Change your skincare products: Moisturizing in the summer is just as important as in the winter; however, a gel-based moisturizer can help with oily skin. Also, using a non-comedogenic product is a plus or any product with salicylic acid will help to soothe and prevent acne-prone skin.

DON’T over exfoliate: Hot, sticky weather sends oil glands into overdrive, but be very careful not to over exfoliate. Over exfoliating the skin can lead to stripping the skin which in-turn causes skin to produce more oil to recover to opt for a less abrasive exfoliator for your travels.
