Should I still use skin care products if I sweat in summer?

When using skin care products and cosmetics in the summer, many women will find that they sweat easily due to the hot weather, so they think that using skin care products at this time is a pure waste. But in fact, this understanding is wrong. Moreover, when using skin care products in the summer, many women are prone to fall into skin care misunderstandings. Here are some common misunderstandings for you.

Myth 1: The weather is too hot, the skin is too oily, and skin care products are not absorbed, so it’s useless to use them!

The oilier the skin is, the more dehydrated it is, caused by an imbalance of water and oil! Frequent sweating gives you the "illusion" that your skin is not dehydrated, but in fact, sunlight, air-conditioned rooms, and even sunscreen are constantly taking away moisture from the skin, and oiliness is just an appearance.

Myth 2: Your skin always feels greasy when it’s hot, so just wash your face with cold water a few more times.

Too cold water will be very detrimental to skin nourishment. The appropriate water temperature should be around 34°C. At the same time, you should choose the right cleansing product. A good cleansing product should not make you feel tight or greasy after cleansing!

Myth 3: You don’t need to change your existing skin care products. Just use one or two less in the summer!

Everyone's skin type changes in different seasons, so you should choose skin care products according to seasonal changes. Generally speaking, in summer, due to more sweating, more refreshing and oil-control products are used, while in winter, due to drier weather, more moisturizing products are used.

Misconception 4: Using unused sunscreen from previous years.

Only buy fresh products and use them up as soon as possible, because sunscreen with a long expiration date may only be half as effective. Also pay attention to the location of skin care products, away from light and heat, to ensure that your sunscreen is truly effective.

Myth 5: Not applying body lotion

We spend most of our time in air-conditioned rooms in the summer, and our body loses a lot of water, so we need to replenish water. Not to mention that you also want to whiten your skin. In order to avoid having two different colors on your face and body, you have to use body lotion.

Misconception 6: Spray mineral water in the office whenever you want.

If you spray too many times in an air-conditioned room, it will absorb the original moisture of the skin and put the skin into a vicious cycle of dryness. The correct way is to carry a mineral spray with you and spray it regularly to replenish facial moisture and relieve skin tightness. I would like to add that if you sweat a lot, not only should you continue to apply your morning skin care products, but you should also pay attention to hydrating. Use more hydrating skin care products.
