Why Does My Skin Get More Oily During Summer?

Many people notice that their skin becomes oilier during the summer months, especially here in Southern California. As temperatures rise, the skin produces more oil (sebum) to help protect itself from heat and moisture loss. Increased sweating, sunscreen use, humidity, and outdoor activities can also contribute to clogged pores, breakouts, and unwanted shine.

The good news is that oily skin does not need to be stripped or over-dried. In fact, harsh products can cause the skin to become even oilier as it tries to compensate for lost moisture. The key is maintaining balance through proper cleansing, gentle exfoliation, hydration, and professional skin care treatments tailored to your skin’s needs.

At Personalized Skin Care, we assess each client’s skin condition and customize treatments to help reduce congestion, minimize breakouts, and support a healthy skin barrier. Whether your skin is naturally oily or simply reacting to summer weather, the right approach can help you achieve a clearer, healthier complexion without sacrificing hydration.

Summer Skin Tips:
• Cleanse twice daily to remove excess oil and sweat.
• Use lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers.
• Exfoliate regularly to prevent clogged pores.
• Wear sunscreen every day.
• Schedule professional facials to help keep pores clear and skin balanced.
