In summer, heat and humidity increase sweat and sebum production

This leads to clogged pores, a greasy appearance, and breakouts, especially for those with naturally oily or combination skin types

Cleanse twice daily. Avoid overwashing, which can trigger excess oil production

Exfoliate 2-3 times a week. Exfoliation unclogs pores and prevents buildup of excess oil and dead skin

Use oil-free moisturiser. Opt for a lightweight, gel-based moisturizer labeled "non-comedogenic."

Apply sunscreen religiously. Use a mattifying, oil-free SPF 30+ sunscreen daily

Use blotting paper smartly. Keep blotting papers handy to absorb midday shine. A dusting of oil-control powder can help set your look without caking
