Skin troubles from hot weather!
27 posts, 7 members
Hi ladies! Omg my skin is playing up so much with this hot weather, it looks horrible and spotty! I can't seem to calm it down no matter what I use. Does anyone else get this problem in hot weather? If so what do you do? I have not been wearing makeup at all and been using products specifically for blemishes. Next option is a paper bag, lol lets hope it doesn't come to that :-)
Oh no! My skin is normal / oily but tends Oiler in the summer with the humidity (yay face sweat) so I’m strict about my routine - I allllways double cleanse - oil cleanse at night (I’m using the Body Shop Camomile Butter) taken off with a hot-as-poss facecloth (washed after very use) and follow with Micellar Cleanser, and in the morning it’s Ethique In Your Face then Micellar Cleanser again. Then it’s a straight-from-fridge spritz of Mario badescu spray, and then a moisturiser or serum. I find lighter moisturiser enough in summer - using Skinfood Nourishing moisturiser atm. I don’t use sun cream on my face, rather I use a spray block like Neutrogena Beach. Currently using an Aveeno one I got in Hawaii - not sure if it’s out here.
i don’t touch my face unless I’m cleaning it, wah bedding more often (pillowcases 2-3 times a week) and that all helps.
interestingly since giving up PPD dye my skin seems to have reacted by clearing up!
I do still I’ll wear makeup - my foundation is an absolute dream in the heat and I’m obsessed. I used Too Faced Peach Perfect topped with a bit of powder (Mecca Life Proof or Nyx illuminating - the rainbow one) and set with Glamglow glowsetter. Base stays put even in this heat.

My suggestion would also be to ensure you are double cleansing, even if you’re not wearing makeup, to make sure you get rid of SPF, which makes lots of people break out.
I haven’t worn foundation this year due to travelling so much. I’m thinking I’ll just pick up a tinted moisturiser instead when I got Mecca to pick up my loop box on Wednesday.

Not exactly a new idea, but something that came to mind for me recently and worked pretty well was using a good finishing powder over a tinted moisturizer, like the Hourglass Ambient powders because they do such a good job of making your skin look blurred and radiant even in daylight. I've found I can get a decent look from them and tinted moisturizer instead of going for a full or medium coverage foundation. Best of all if anyone asks what foundation you are wearing if you tell them it's just a tinted moisturizer they will often compliment you on how good your skin is (that's when I tell them it's Hourglass finishing powders, they really are worth the splurge).
Not so much. I need a pool. Preferably one I can live in. Last week I was in Dunedin and in a 48 hour period I went through two 20 degree temp changes. Body didn’t like that. Struggled on Friday big time and come and go depending on the humidity. Currently in a ‘people are stupid, I look like sh*t, where’s my wine’ mood
We have six crazy weeks at work just kicking off so I’ve frozen lemon juice to throw in cold and/or fizzy water, have my desk and room fans sorted, and will basically try not to die at my desk ugh.
i swear the phone temperature gauge things are underestimating by a good 5 degrees atm too.
going away for your time off?

Yeah I use lemon a lot in cooking - my fave pasta is just a really simple spaghetti with spinach, and a lemon herb oil, topped with bacon, pinenuts or almonds, more herbs and cheese. So I got in the habit of buying 6-8 lemons, juicing (and zesting) them and freezing some juice and juice/zest cubes. I used one tonight in the fajita chicken I made - and they’re great to chuck in a vodka and soda too :p
I worked in a pokey portacom for nearly 3 years in my old workplace with the heat so horrible you felt like you were sat in a sauna. The only air conditioning we had was a tiny USB fan plugged into the computer. Couldn't have the doors and windows open all the time because we either got dust storms in the yard or it would be too windy and blew all my paperwork around the place. We only had a portaloo and the only running water was through a hose. My skin was so dry and horrible due to the dust and heat omg.
Today I start a new job with air conditioning, running water and a flushing toilet. So excited ha ha ha.

So I used the Sukin blemish kit which was good but OMG the La Roche Posay Anti Acne kit is so amazing! I got a foaming cleanser, a spray toner and a moisturiser. A simple 3 step system that has literally transformed my skin in 3 days!!!!! I have not had any new breakouts and my skin looks clear and bright. I am quite blown away. It hasn't caused any dryness whatsoever and leaves my face matte the entire day which I love. This is a game changer for me. The price is awesome, around $65 for the set. I totally recommend trying this if you have troublesome skin! In love :-)
