As the temperatures go up in the spring and summer months, our bodies will try to regulate temperature by sweating, which has a cooling effect. Sweat itself won't clog your pores, but as it sits on the surface of our skin, the bacteria, dry skin, and any application made, such as makeup, sunscreen, or moisturizer may cause blackheads and sometimes even breakouts.

This is why it's important at the end of every night you not only wash your face with water, but use a product designed to reach deep into your pores, and pull out any toxins that may be gathered.

Switching out your moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup for oil-free formulas will also help prevent a build-up of oils clogging the pores in your skin.

This affordable and highly-trusted purifying face wash from Bioderma is super easy to apply -- use it once or twice a day and apply the foaming gel onto wet skin, lather the foam, then rinse well, and finally dry by gently dabbing a soft towel onto your skin.
