How To Manage Springtime Breakouts

Don't let pesky pimples dampen your springtime glow! Here are some expert tips to help you handle springtime breakouts and get clearer skin: 

Cleanse Smart: Use a gentle cleanser with acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and opt for lightweight moisturizers.

Sunscreen Savvy: Protect your skin with SPF 30+ sunscreen, reapplying every two hours.

Mind Your Diet: Limit sugary and greasy foods, opting for fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.

Hands Off: Resist the urge to pick at breakouts; use spot treatments with tea tree oil or sulfur instead.

To awaken your skin this Spring, Emily Trampetti, founder of Skin Property and Master Licensed Esthetician says about cooler temps...   

Cooler temps give a false sense of security

Springtime can seem like a roller coaster or weather patterns, mainly in the realm of temperature. Some days it seems like winter may be hanging on while others are straight up summer vibes. On the cooler days, it is still common for many people to think that sunscreen is less required. This is NOT true and can leave those susceptible to advanced sun damage and health risks. UVA rays, in particular, are rarely filtered adequately by temperature, clouds or precipitation, but carry similar if not worse effects than UVB rays. This is why I teach that it’s good practice to wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every day. Every. Single. Day. Even in winter. Even if you’re inside. If you are where a plant could survive, you should have your sunscreen on.

Kiehls Better Screen UV Serum SPF 50+ with collagen peptide protects against sun damage and corrects signs of UV damage. It boosts radiance and improves skin tone and texture while blending seamlessly on all skin tones.
