Derms Say You Won't Break Out With These Lightweight Summer Moisturizers

When the weather is hot, humid and sunny, it’s understandable to want to switch up your existing skin care routine to products that are more lightweight. This is because, according to the experts in skin, you’re more likely to develop acne in the summer months when your body is most likely producing more sweat.

″[Lightweight moisturizers ] provide hydration without adding extra oil, overwhelming the skin or leaving a heavy greasy residue, feeling more breathable especially in warmer, more humid climates,” said California-based board-certified dermatologist Dr. Azadeh Shirazi .

According to her, t he lighter texture allows for faster absorption making it more suitable for layering with other skincare products, like the year-round essential, sunscreen .

“ They are also less likely to clog pores by providing optimal hydration without excessive oil [and] can also help regulate oil production,” Shirazi added.

Even those who don’t have acne-prone or oily skin may benefit from the upcoming lineup of lightweight moisturizers that have been suggested by Shirazi and other dermatologists (plus one famed cosmetic chemist). The breathable and airy selection includes a drugstore gel cream that has been mentioned an overwhelming number of times, undetectable sunscreens perfect for SPF haters and popular ceramide lotions that repair while they hydrate.
