Skin is the largest organ of the body, it is also one of the first things people see of each other. August in the Philippines means rainy season, and this season causes an increase in humidity and often results in the overproduction of sebum. But wait, what is sebum? Besties, sebum can cause clogging of the pores and cause acne breakouts. The rainy season can also cause dampness in the air resulting in lessening moisture on the skin making it dry and tight feeling. There is a big misunderstanding in thinking that skin care is only products applied to the skin, it is part, but taking care of nutrition and food intake can also help boost skin health. Below is a list formed by BestShape to provide the perfect August skincare routine!

Know Your Skin Type

Not everyone’s skin type is the same, there are six common skin types which are normal, dry, oily, combo, sensitive, and acne prone. Bestie, to know what skin type you are you can either observe your skin yourself or check out a dermatologist to be properly classified. The importance of knowing your skin type can increase the likeliness for one to reach a certain skin care goal.

Listen to Your Skin

Skins talk, yes they do! For instance, when the skin color changes to either yellowish or organish could be a sign of kidney or liver disease. If acne suddenly breaks out in certain areas, it could also represent a meaning depending on the spots or could alert of unhygienic habits such as not washing hands often unhealthy food intake such as eating too much oily food or sweets and unhealthy habits such as sleeping late and being too stressed. That is why you always need to analyze and listen to your skin when it cries for help and attention.

Purchase Reliable Products Only

In the past years, the market has started to realize that not all expensive products automatically translate to results, and being top-quality, resulting in more customers being more open to cheaper products. However, there are many cheap products in the market that are not FDA-approved which cannot ensure the safety of the product and causes problems such as scarring, outbreaks, and even color pigmentation. Remember, doing proper research before purchasing any products is the best habit to have, bestie!

Less Is More

With the emergence of e-commerce and other influential online platforms such as TikTok, it is easier than ever to get access and be influenced by all sorts of information that may or may not be true. Overconsumption happens when a shopper buys more products than what they need, and this can cause a waste of money, possible skin inflation, skin irritation, and product waste. It is best to see a dermatologist to seek their opinion on what the skin needs as everyone’s skin needs different products and different amounts.
