These Beauty Bars Will Help Fight Oily Summertime Skin RSS

If you’re like most people in the summertime, you sweat. You may also have noticed that the more you sweat, the oilier your skin can become. This is because of a simple biological process meant to cool the body down. Your body’s sebaceous glands are responsible for all your summertime oily-skin woes. “Sebum is a complex mix of dead skin cells and lipids (fats). These fats lubricate the skin and protect it from dehydration and the environment.  But sometimes there can be too much of a good thing,” says Dr. Oz. “On the face, the greasiest spot of all is the T-zone which has the highest concentration of sebaceous glands.” (

The facial cleansing you are using might also be a contributing factor: Some cleansers are too harsh for your skin.The result is an assault on the skin’s microbiome, leaving it overly sensitive to outside irritants such as excessive heat. Take care of your skin and reduce your chance for that oily feeling we all hate to deal with by switching to one of these bars formulated to keep your skin’s oils balanced.
