How Can A Heatwave Affect Your Skin?
With summer heatwaves bringing higher temperatures and increased UV exposure, your skin's protective barrier faces unique challenges. Trans-epidermal water loss accelerates rapidly in high heat, leading to dehydration beneath oily summer skin.
At The Foundation Beauty Studio, we recommend switching to lightweight hyaluronic hydrators, maintaining diligent broad-spectrum mineral SPF protection, and scheduling regular hydrating oxygen facials to replenish moisture reserves without clogging pores.
