Keeping a check on shiny skin can be a nuisance during normal UK climatic conditions, so during the summer when temperatures start to climb, it can feel like even more of a problem.

It’s fair to say that nobody wants to complement their summer outfit with the added accessory of shiny skin though, and it can put a real dampener on your mood. However, you really don’t have to let in get in the way of you enjoying a fun-filled summer.

During the warmer months, it’s best to keep cosmetics to a minimum as they are key contributors in making skin look and feel oily. You don’t have to go completely bare faced though and using a concealer such as Dermalogica Concealing Spot Treatment can help you to keep your skin confidence.

Maintaining fresh looking skin can also be achieved through the use of Dermalogica Oil Free Matte Block, which is a fantastic multi purpose solution for the summer. In addition to protecting skin from UV rays, this fantastic product also helps to keep excess oil production in check.

Applying Oil Free Matte Block can help you to concentrate on really enjoying your summer, instead of constantly worrying about the state of your skin.

Keeping skin looking fresh and matte can be a tricky task during the summer months, and this can be even more difficult if your skin veers towards the more oily type.

As temperatures rise, skin can start to feel hot and sticky, and this can make you feel like rushing back indoors- and staying there! However, it not very often that we get to experience a half decent summer in the UK, so we all need to get outdoors and really make the most of it.

There are several ways of keeping skin looking its best when the weather is warmer- including cutting back on makeup, investing in oil blotting sheets for those quick touch-ups and using a good oil-free moisturiser.

As you can spend so much time thinking about how you’re going to avoid greasy looking skin though, it can be all too easy to forget about sun protection- which could present you with added skin woes.

Luckily, Dermalogica has a fab 2-in-1 solution, which not only keeps skin looking matte, but also shields against UV rays.

Dermalogica Oil Free Matte Block is the must-have product for those with oiler skin this summer, and in addition to helping to control excess oil, it also contains an SPF- so you won’t have to choose between suffering with oily or sunburnt skin.

Keep oil AND sunburn at bay with this essential summer skin solution.

Humid summer weather has a tendency to make even drier skin feel oily, so those whose skin is excessively oily during even the colder months will know just how bad oiliness can get.

Although it may only sound like a minor inconvenience, oily skin can have a major impact on confidence, and keeping it under control when the weather is hot and sticky can feel like an on-going battle.

If skin is excessively oily, it can make the sufferer feel extremely uncomfortable- and any attempts at applying makeup and keeping it in place can prove futile. Luckily though, those with skin on the oily side don’t have to spend the entire summer looking forward to autumn, as there are some simple ways of keeping control of the situation.

During the summer it’s always best to try and keep makeup to a minimum- as it can really contribute to skin looking and feeling less than fresh. Taking a look at your daily skincare products such as your moisturiser and ensuring that they are the best products for your needs is also a good idea.

Those with excessively oily skin could also try investing in Dermalogica Oil Free Matte Block- which not only helps to keep shine at bay but also features an SPF 20 to guard skin against UV rays.

Don’t let oily skin ruin your summer- fight it every step of the way.

Even during the summer months, the weather in the UK can be very unpredictable. It’s all too common to step out of the house in the morning to be greeted with dull, dreary weather- only for the sun to shine brightly just a few hours later.

This can make it all too easy to get caught unawares- which is certainly not ideal, as even small amounts of sun exposure can have lasting negative effects on the skin.

When the sun is shining brightly, many people find themselves squinting- and this can be a major factor in contributing to the appearance of fine lines. The skin around the eye area is significantly more fragile than skin on other parts of the face, which makes it even more susceptible to sun damage.

Luckily though, there are some quick and easy ways of protecting the eye area from damaging UV rays and restoring sun damaged skin.

In order to protect your eyes and the skin around the area from sun damage, you need to invest in sunglasses which can effectively guard against UV rays. In addition to this, you also need to ensure that you protect skin with a suitable SPF. Before sun exposure, apply a Dermalogica sunblock designed for use on the face- such as the Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock or Oil Free Matte Block (there are a range of different products available depending on your skin type.)

For skin that has already suffered skin damage, take a look at Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair- which is great for perking up prematurely ageing skin.

Enjoy the summer sun whilst in lasts- but don’t sacrifice your skin.
