Oily Skin and Acne  

As you spend more time under the sun, your skin will become dehydrated which can prompt your skin to produce higher levels of oil. Alongside expected an increase of sweat throughout the summer months, your skin is likely to become clogged with excess oil leading to oily skin and acne.   

Additionally, the holiday season is filled with rich foods and sweet treats. As your alcohol consumption, dairy and sugary foods intake increases your skin may start to produce higher levels of oil and become more blemish prone. 

It is important to find the right skin care products for your skin, so you can enjoy the holiday festivities with all your favourite Christmas food and drink!
