“Many people think pimples are just for teens, but warmer weather and stress around Christmas often leads to many adults breaking out again”, said Judy Cheung-Wood, Managing Director, SkinB5.
Here she shares her top 5 tips to avoid getting pimples this summer:
- Refresh your skin with watermelon rind – eat the flesh and simply rub your face with the rind
- Use a feather light sunscreen that does not block pores
- Go to the beach and have a dip in the ocean. Salt water helps control bacteria growth on the skin
- As soon as you feel that a pimple is coming on, apply diluted tea tree oil to the baby pimple (eg. 5 mL tea tree oil and 95 mL water), and you must refrain from squeezing it!
- Take SkinB5 oral supplements daily to control skin oil production which is particularly important during summer when hot weather exacabates skin congestion
“If women go on holidays, I would recommend they give their skin a holiday also and take a break from foundation to let their skin breathe and give it a chance to regain its natural lustre”, Cheung-Wood adds.
