Here are four easy ways to prevent acne in hot and humid climates.
- As often as possible, work or stay near an open window, or ask for a window to be opened when it becomes very hot and humid. Getting clean air will help your skin to breathe.
- Take a cleanser with you to work and, on toilet breaks, use this to refresh your skin and to remove surface grease and sweat. Alternatively, you could wash your face with a mild soap. Wash your face every morning, afternoon and evening.
- Avoid wearing foundation or powder that might help block the skin pores. Try to leave them as clear as possible while you are working.
- Don’t touch your face and keep your face clean by keeping anti-bacterial tissue wipes close to you so you can dab away at any grease or dirt that lands on your face (especially when you can’t wash your face).
