The sun might seem to ‘clear’ acne at first, but it’s only temporary.

In reality, it just dehydrates the skin!

Over time it can actually trigger excess oil production, leading to more breakouts and increased inflammation.

UV exposure also thickens the skin, trapping oil and bacteria beneath the surface, and can worsen post-inflammatory pigmentation (those lingering dark marks after spots)

And as always SPF is non-negotiable, even for acne-prone skin!

✨ Acne Awareness Month ✨

Also being aware of your lifestyle factors is essential too...
Here are just some examples -
• Cleaning your pillowcase regularly.
• Cleaning your glasses/sunglasses everyday.
• Rinsing your hair products out properly.
• Cleaning makeup brushes regular.
• Avoid letting your hairspray/dry shampoo land on you face.
• Avoid leaning on your hands or touching your face.
• Avoid dairy (Cow’s milk contains natural hormones and growth factors that can stimulate oil production and clog pores)
• Avoid sugar.

Using too many products or constantly changing your routine can irritate your skin and trigger more breakouts.

Consistency with the right products will always give better results than overloading your skin. Keep it simple, stay patient, and let your skin do its thing 💛

I will share my favourite skincare routine for breakout prone skin in the next post!

As always drop me a message or DM with any questions on products to use or skincare concerns 💌

These are just some of the products I stock that I recommend for helping with dehydration 💧

I like to call them skin polishers—they gently exfoliate the skin, removing that dull, dead layer so hydration can properly absorb and do its job.

I have options to suit every skin type, even sensitive, so you can get the glow without compromising your skin barrier ✨

Not sure which one suits you? Just DM me or pop into the salon—I’m always happy to help 🤍

Dehydrated skin can add years to your face… and most people don’t even realise it 👀

Those “fine lines” you’re seeing? They’re often not aging — they’re dehydration lines.

Gentle exfoliation helps by removing the buildup of dead skin blocking hydration from getting in. Once that’s gone, your products can actually do their job—plumping the skin, softening lines, and restoring that fresh, healthy glow ✨

In the next post I will share some of my favourite exfoliators!

Over-cleansing, using the wrong products, or layering too much can throw this delicate balance off, leading to sensitivity, irritation, and breakouts.

Sometimes, less really is more when it comes to healthy skin.
