There are a few reasons why you should make changes to your skincare as the season changes from chilly to hot. It’s all fun and games until you’re standing on a Metro Platform, dripping in sweat, waiting for the next train.
There’s a trail that follows past the sweating stage. For starters, dirt is accumulated, everyday use of makeup products and the humidity makes our pores clogged and stickier, which results in frequent breakouts, and well, let’s not even get started with the body odor.
As a result, at Influsser, we all take skincare (especially a summer skincare routine) very seriously, so we talked about all of our favourites and compiled a list of products worth checking out that will help you do just that, as well as protect your skin from the sun, keep it clean, and leave you looking dewy and fresh.
#1 CLEANSING BALM
Mary Cohr Cleansing Balm
Who’s it for: Primarily, the product is used to remove makeup before cleansing with a water/gel/foam-based face wash. The idea is to pull the excess oil and unclog the otherwise nasty pores.
Product Recommendation: Aloe vera and cleansing agents in Mary Cohrs’ Fresh Cleansing Cream help to detoxify, hydrate, and soften the skin. Its light texture makes it easy to remove makeup in one step, leaving your skin looking radiant and rejuvenated.
