	Use a cleanser and toner that are designed to gently balance combination skin because using an acne treatment wash can be drying if overused. We recommend the Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser and Balancing Lavender Toner. Cleanse and tone the skin two to three times per day and spritz the face with the Balancing Lavender Toner after coming inside to refresh and balance. Sunscreens also play a major role in summer breakouts. We all know the importance of protecting skin from the damaging and aging sunlight; however many sunscreens contain a high oil content and chemical sun filters which add to breakouts. The right sunscreen is essential to an acne skin care regimen Always choose a sunscreen specifically designed for the face in an oil free formulation. In addition to good acne skin care‚ diet is crucial for acne treatment. Make sure that your diet is rich in fruit‚ vegetables and whole grains. Avoid saturated fats and sugar which are known to increase acne. Water‚ fiber‚ fruits and vegetables are naturally detoxifying which means they are great for controlling acne and can also be helpful for reducing cellulite and body fat. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep the body and skin hydrated. Acne skin care products containing combinations of salicylic acid and glycolic acid such as the La Thérapie Glycolic Clarite Renew can be extremely effective for treating acne. Do bear in mind that these types of acids can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. During the summer months these products are best used at night before bed and in combination with SPF of at least 30 during the day. Even an oily or acne skin type needs hydration. Try La Thérapie Crème Control or Elemis Daily Shine Control. These night and day creams help keep the skin hydrated while reducing oil secretion and leaving a matte finish to the skin. These are also great for a base for makeup!
