The unpredictable weather this summer has left many brides struggling with stressed, unsettled skin just when they want their complexion to look its best. If changing temperatures have triggered breakouts ahead of your September wedding, don't panic. We asked Bruce Green, founder of SOS Skin Care, to share a simple skincare routine to help calm blemishes, restore balance and leave your skin looking healthy for the big day.
From soaring temperatures and UV exposure one week to pouring rain, strong winds and sudden temperature drops the next, Britain's increasingly unpredictable weather is creating "weather whiplash”, and your skin is paying the price, explains cosmetic scientist and chemist Bruce Green founder of SOS serum skin care. He says: ‘As the UK experiences these dramatic shifts between heatwaves, humidity, wind and torrential downpours, skin is being forced to constantly adapt to changing environmental stressors. The result is increased sensitivity, dehydration, breakouts, redness and a compromised skin barrier.
The changeable weather including the fluctuation in temperature and humidity can affect your skin. My recommendation is skincare consistency - change nothing - but focus on flexibility, not a full routine change.
Prioritise barrier support, reduce or stop exfoliation, always use a lightweight option and focus on a moisturising SPF such as SOS SPF 50 Sun Cream. Stay calm and your skin will stay calm too!
If skin seems more prone to breakouts, be sure to cleanse thoroughly twice a day using light but effective formula such as SOS Cleanse. This lightweight, soothing gel cleanser will effortlessly remove makeup, excess oil and environmental pollutants without disrupting the skin barrier. Formulated with calming Blue Daisy Extract to help support the skin's natural pH and moisture balance, it leaves skin feeling refreshed, comfortable and resilient. Free from alcohol, acids and harsh cleansing agents, it's ideal for sensitive or weather-stressed skin that needs cleansing without compromise!
