Hot and humid weather is a fact of life in Singapore, so finding the perfect balance between keeping your skincare regime simple, and maintaining a healthy glow all day, can always be a little tricky. Here's our top tips and skincare essentials guide to beat the Singapore heat.
With relentless heat and humidity comes sweat, which leads to excess sebum production, expands your skin's pores and can cause skin breakouts. Exposure to the sun's UV rays and environmental factors, like pollution, can lead to dark spots and sun damage. Living and working in air conditioned environments dehydrates your skin, making it feel dry, irritated and tight. We never leave home without our favourite water bottles, but many of us forget to have on hand products to give our skin some TLC.
There's no one size fits all solution to skincare for hot climates, so we suggest using your skin type as a starting point, address your skin concerns, ensure regular skin hydration and always prioritise sunscreen. If you have oily skin, skin dehydration, a lack of water in the skin, can lead to more sebum production and make our skin appear more oily. If your skin is dry, light serums and gel creams may be better suited to hydrate without clogging pores. If you have sensitive skin, then look for products with calming, natural ingredients.
So if you want to maintain a healthy glow all day, we've listed below our top 5 favourite daily skincare essentials we think no woman (or man) should leave home without.
