I’ll never moan about the summertime for as long as I live for it is, of course, the best season of the year. That said, it can get a bit sticky – and this can lead to sweaty, or should I say ‘glowing’ skin.
This, in turn, can also lead to small outbreaks – even in those of us way beyond our teenage years. But we are not alone.
Clinical studies indicate that between 40 and 55 per cent of the adult population aged 20 to 40 can suffer with acne or oily skin. Yes, no longer just a teen problem, the condition is now acknowledged as a common disorder. It’s also more persistent than the teen version, because scarring is more prevalent in adults as our skin repairs itself less quickly.
Many products for acne or oily skin conditions are often created for teenagers however, and therefore too harsh for adults. Enter Dermalogica, which has just introduced its MediBac Clearing range, specificlaly designed to treat these symptoms in adults.
A refreshing collection, it helps to cool the skin, stop it feeling greasy during the heat and is specifically designed to clear the pores and prevent inflammation.
