The Best Skincare Tips for Being in Humid Weather

Posted by Sarah Bacon on

How many mornings do you spend getting ready for the day, getting your makeup on, and making sure that you look your best, only to leave the house and have it all ruined in a second because of humidity? If you live in the  United States, then you might be so used to having AC in the house that you forget that things are going to be pretty different when you step outside.

Nobody loves the idea of being sticky and sweaty for the rest of the day, especially if you're going to be out and about and won't be able to do anything about it. Don't worry, though – the humidity doesn't have to plague you for that much longer. Let's take a look at some of the best skin care tips out there for being in humid weather.

1. Clean the Right Way

How well do you know your skin, and how well do you know how to cleanse it? While you might not think that the act of cleanse your skin can be whittled down to a science, there's definitely and right and a wrong way to do it, especially if you're experiencing issues from the humidity. This is because our oil glands are in overdrive when we're in humid weather, which means taking more care over your cleansing regime. 

When thinking about how to clean your face, you’ll need to invest in a very good cleansing oil. This is not only going to help you get rid of excess oil (because like attracts like) but it's also going to get rid of grime and dirt as well. Furthermore it wont strip your skin and will help keep it balanced. 

2. Deep Clean Twice a Week

If your face is being constantly exposed to humid weather day in and day out, then you'll need to treat it twice a week to a deep cleanse. 

This will include an exfoliant that you can use to scrub your face at least once a week. This way, you can get rid of any dead skin cells that are still hanging around, giving your skin a second chance halfway through the week so that you can fight the battle all over again the next day.

3. Keep the Moisturizer Light

While this might be hard to believe, when you've got your face in humid weather all day, it's going to lose water and become dehydrated slowly. You are forgiven for not knowing this because, with humidity, it feels like your skin is always wet. So, you want to be able to figure out a way to replenish the moisture in your face without it being too heavy and clogging your pores.

This is where a lightweight moisturiser comes in handy. Velettà Nourishing Moisturiser fits the bill perfectly. You need to find a good balance between keeping it hydrated and allowing it to breathe, especially overnight, while it's replenishing. You could even store your moisturiser in the fridge for an added cooling effect.

4.Use Natural Fabrics

As well as making sure that you bathe as often as possible to keep your skin nice and clean, you’ll also want to make sure that you wear shirts that are made from natural fabrics. If you use natural materials like cotton and linen, they will be able to breathe, and they won’t cause irritation to the skin.

Not only are natural fabrics great for your skin, but they’re great for the environment as well, so you can save the planet while taking care of your skin. It’s a win-win.

5. Keeping Your Skin Protected from the Day-to-Day

We all have busy lives, and we all have different climates that we contend with every day. This means that there’s no one right daily skincare routine out there, but there are ways to make sure that your skin is well taken care of, no matter what the weather looks like outside. Velettá is a 100% natural, New-Zealand made, daily skincare range with a penchant for all different skin types.

However, we also know that no matter what skin type you have, it’s going to benefit from natural ingredients.
