Make Up Games: Sweaty Skin Care


It comes with the heat of summer – that fine glaze of sweat on your face that you have to deal with. Even the loveliest among us deal with a bit of perspiration walking across a black parking lot in the sun or walking down the street in sweltering still weather. But how you deal with that sweat can make all the difference in how you feel and how you look to others.

Antiperspirant – Presumably you’re already wearing deodorant so that you smell fresh and clean even if you’re a bit sweaty, but check your brand to see if it’s actually just a deodorant or if you’re using an antiperspirant as well. Using an antiperspirant actually stops some of the sweat you might experience on a hot day – deodorants don’t.

Oil Free Products – Your sweaty skin is producing a ton of oil already, so you don’t want to smear more oil on your face with certain cosmetics and skin care products. Opt out of oily makeup and find oil control products instead. These will help you look more refreshed and even keep some of that sweat hidden.
