Summer Essentials for Glowing Skin!

Comment /

Our skin deserves just as much care and love in the summer as it does in the winter time! Due to the inevitable heat and humidity in the summer, your skin is more likely to produce excess oil and sebum. Sweat, air pollution, sunscreen, and other impurities can also cause your pores to get clogged, resulting in acne and other skin troubles! 

The higher intensity of the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause skin irritation, sun burn, and an increased production of melanin pigments which will result in freckles, sun spots, and darkening of acne scars! This is why it is important to adjust your skincare routine throughout the different seasons so your skin stays glowing all year long! 

Double Cleansing

Double cleansing is an essential step in your summer skincare routine to ensure that you are throughly cleansing your face and refreshing your pores! The benefit of double cleansing is that the first, oil-based cleanser will break down any makeup, sunscreen, dirt, or excess oils from the skin while the second gel or foam cleanser will cleanse and refresh your pores!

This gentle yet powerful cleansing duo from Ma:nyo would be the perfect cleansing combo to introduce into your summer routines to get that deep cleanse while still nourishing your skin barrier at the same time! It's time to say goodbye to blackheads and clog pores!
