Lighter moisturizer, more sunscreen.
Yes. Swap your thick winter cream for a gel or water-based moisturizer, and make sure you’re using SPF 30+ every single day — even if it’s cloudy.
Humidity means your skin doesn’t need the heavy occlusives from winter. Those will just sit on top and clog pores. A gel moisturizer (something with hyaluronic acid or glycerin) hydrates without the grease. And because you’re sweating more, sunscreen is non-negotiable — look for “oil-free” or “matte finish” if you’re prone to breakouts.
If you want to get fancy, add a lightweight niacinamide serum in the morning to control oil and a salicylic acid cleanser at night to keep pores clear. But honestly, the simplest change is just dropping the heavy cream and being religious about sunscreen.
Your skin will thank you by not freaking out in June.
