Summer is all about sunshine, fresh air, and time outdoors; but for many, it’s also the season of unexpected breakouts. If your skin tends to get more oily, congested, or inflamed when the temperatures rise, you’re not alone. The combination of heat, sweat, sunscreen, and increased oil production can easily throw your skin off balance.

Here’s why summer breakouts happen and what you can do to manage them, plus our top treatment and product recommendations available now at Pear Beauty Spa.

Why Do Breakouts Get Worse in Summer?

Hot weather and humidity can cause your oil glands to go into overdrive, especially if you have oily or combination skin to begin with. Add sweat, sunscreen, and environmental pollutants to the mix, and pores can quickly become clogged, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed acne. Wearing makeup or not cleansing thoroughly enough can also trap bacteria and worsen breakouts.

The Fix: Smart Skincare & Professional Treatments

The good news? With the right skincare and a few targeted treatments, you can beat the summer breakout cycle and reveal calm, clear, and glowing skin.

At-Home Skincare Routine for Acne-Prone Summer Skin

Consistency is key! Here’s what your summer skincare routine should include:

• Gentle Cleanser: Choose a sulfate-free cleanser that removes dirt and oil without stripping your skin.
• Exfoliant: Use a mild chemical exfoliant a few times per week to keep pores clear.
• Targeted Acne Treatment: Ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur can help fight breakouts.
• Oil-Free Moisturizer: Hydration is still essential, even oily skin needs moisture to stay balanced.
• Sunscreen: Never skip SPF, but make sure it’s acne-safe.
