The humidity we have now is a breeding ground for microbes & fungi and your skin is barely managing.
What Humidity Does to our Skin
Summer humidity can make your skin feel soft and hydrated, but beneath the surface it creates damage. While increased moisture is beneficial, excessive humidity can overhydrate the outer skin cells, weakening the skin barrier over time. A compromised barrier is more prone to redness, irritation, sensitivity, stinging, and breakouts.
Humidity also increases oil production and sweating, creating an occlusive layer on the skin that traps oil, debris, and heat. This environment encourages more congestion and allows bacteria, fungi, microbes and yeast to thrive, often leading to acne, rosacea flare-ups, dermatitis, and folliculitis.
This is why summer isn't the season to take a break from your skincare routine or professional treatments. Maintaining healthy skin through the hottest months helps protect your barrier, control congestion, and prevent the flare-ups that often leave us spending the fall repairing summer damage. Consistent care now means healthier, calmer skin year-round.
If you are spending a good amount of money on products and treatments all year, you can readily undo a lot of that work over the summer.
Come in, get your skin balanced and let's manage summer skin health the RIGHT way!
