thebalanced.newsExperts Explain How Heatwaves Affect Skin and Recommend Protective Skincare
Rising temperatures and heatwaves are impacting skin health by disrupting its natural balance. Excessive cleansing and skipping moisturiser can weaken the skin barrier, leading to increased oiliness, breakouts, and sensitivity. Dermatologists explain that heat stimulates oil production and sweat, fostering acne-causing bacteria and accelerating tanning and photoageing. Experts recommend simplifying skincare routines and prioritising gentle cleansing and sun protection to maintain skin health during extreme heat conditions.
