Dealing with Sticky Skin? Here's a Summer Body Care Routine That Works
Scorching summer days often bring an unpleasant sidekick - sticky, greasy skin. The humid monsoon weather clogs pores, causes breakouts, and leaves your skin looking dull. But don’t worry! With the right body care routine featuring the power of Tea Tree Oil, refreshing toners, and Vitamin C, you can confidently combat this sticky dilemma. Here's your go-to guide to achieving smooth, fresh, and glowing skin, even in the stickiest of summers.
Why Does Summer Cause Sticky Skin?
Sticky skin is a common issue during summer. Humidity causes sweat and oil to mix on the skin, creating an uncomfortable, greasy layer. This, paired with dust and pollution, can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. The key to combating sticky skin lies in choosing lightweight, non-greasy, and deeply purifying products, which is exactly where Tea Tree Oil and Vitamin C come into play.
Step-By-Step Summer Body Care Routine
1. Start Fresh with a Tea Tree Oil Face Wash
Nothing beats starting the day with a burst of freshness. A Tea Tree Oil Face Wash, like The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash, is your first defence against sticky skin. Tea Tree Oil is packed with natural purifying properties that cleanse your skin of dirt, excess oil, and impurities, making it look and feel refreshed.
This face wash is perfect for those with oily or blemish-prone skin, as it helps to control excess sebum while keeping your skin hydrated. Use it every morning and evening for clean, calm, and clear skin.
2. Tone Your Skin for Balance
After cleansing, a good skin toner ensures that you’re removing any leftover impurities. Toners also help to refine pores and prep your skin for hydration. Opt for a toner with Tea Tree Oil or witch hazel to balance oil production and keep your face feeling light and matte throughout the day.
Tea Tree Skin Clearing Mattifying Toner is a great choice to keep your complexion looking shine-free while giving your skin a cooling effect - just what you need on a hot summer day!
3. Lock in Hydration with Vitamin C Serum
Summer sun exposure can leave your skin looking tired and dull. Enter the Vitamin C Serum - a powerhouse for brightening your skin while providing antioxidant protection. Vitamin C works wonders to even out your skin tone and reduce dark spots caused by prolonged sun exposure.
Apply a few drops of The Body Shop’s Vitamin C Glow Boosting Serum after toning but before moisturizing for radiant, plump, and revitalized skin.
4. Moisturizing Without the Grease
Sticky skin and heavy moisturizers don’t mix. Choosing lightweight hydration is a must during summer. Look for gel-based or non-comedogenic moisturizers that provide hydration without clogging your pores. The Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion is a great option, as it keeps your skin moisturized while also controlling shine.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget to use a body lotion too! Your arms, legs, and back deal with sweat and humidity just like your face. Opt for a non-greasy formula to keep your body feeling smooth and refreshed.
5. Apply Sunscreen Religiously
While sunscreen doesn’t magically reduce stickiness, it’s an essential step in protecting your skin from sun damage. Choose a lightweight, matte-finish sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Applying sunscreen daily helps prevent sunburn, dark spots, and premature aging. Reapply every 2-3 hours, especially if you’re sweating or swimming!
6. Midday Refresh with Tea Tree Essential Oil
Tea Tree Essential Oil is a summer essential! Its antibacterial and purifying qualities provide quick relief for sudden breakouts or areas prone to excess sweat. Carry a small bottle in your bag and dab a tiny amount onto blemishes or irritated spots as needed for a cool, calming sensation.
The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Oil is a mini miracle in a bottle. Its non-greasy formula works wonders to purify your skin while leaving it refreshed.
7. Exfoliate Smarter, Not Harder
Exfoliation is vital to get rid of dead skin cells and unclog pores. Use a gentle body scrub once or twice a week to rejuvenate your skin. For your face, consider a mild exfoliating wash like the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Daily Scrub to keep breakouts at bay without over-drying.
Avoid over-exfoliating, as it can irritate your skin and lead to excess oil production – the very thing we’re trying to avoid!
