Be Gentle
Make sure you’re not over cleansing or over exfoliating because that can cause irritation and dry your skin. Other things that can cause irritation is wiping off your sweat. Many times when you workout outside, you begin to sweat and wipe off sweat with a terry cloth and this can mess with your skin. Instead wear a headband that will trap some of your sweat from your face. Once you get home, be sure to shower that way you remove excessive sweat from your body gently.
Remove Dead Skin Cells
Once your face is clean, don’t immediately apply a moisturizer. Before that, use a cleansing product that contains salicylic acid, which helps remove dead skin cells. If you have oily skin, skip the salicylic acid and use a toner that is water-based in order to avoid drying or irritating your skin.
Moisturize
Picking a good moisturizer for the summer is no easy task. It’s always good to talk to a dermatologist or read reviews to see what works best for your skin type. One of the biggest trends is to use oil to keep your skin moisturized, which helps penetrate and moisturize deeper than face creams.

SPF
It’s important to use a moisturizer that has SPF, but if you choose to use an SPF on top of your moisturizer, make sure you find one that is oil-free if you have oily skin. Only use water-resistant sunscreens on days when you’ll be at the beach or working out outside.
Makeup
Practically anything that touches your skin can cause you to break out and this includes your makeup. Remember that makeup has an expiration date and make sure you clean your brushes and wash your hands before applying makeup to prevent bacteria from coming near your pores.
Eat for Your Skin
Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin hydrated, but it also helps prevent breakouts. Make sure you are taking advantage of all the delicious fruits and vegetables, which help increase collagen-production and give you that beautiful summer glow. Also, avoid processed greasy foods, which cause breakouts.
