Acne Skincare Tips For The Tropical Weather: Ideas About How To Manage Your Condition

By Eugene Yeng


The market for skin care products has never been larger; the industry spends millions of dollars each year, with each individual company trying to stay at least slightly ahead of their competitors. This is good news for the consumer, because it means that there is a large range of products available to ensure that the user is kept looking their best at all times. It also largely depends on what climate a person lives in as to what products they will need to use - acne skincare tips for the tropical weather will be different than those for people living in a very dry climate.

There are of course products that cover just about every type of condition. Anti aging creams to slow the onset of age-related skin symptoms and a large amount of products targeted at people with dry or oily skin, acne or peeling. Then there is a whole other range, which is aimed at people with no particular skin condition, but who simply want to make the most of the skin they have.

Potentially the largest range of products that is available is aimed at people with oily skin. Up to 80% of people suffer from zits at some point in their lives, so the profit potential for the skin care industry is large. If you are looking for similar products it is often advised that you should find conditioning lotions and creams etc. That both mattify the skin and unblock pores. This means that salicylic acid (which is successfully used to unblock pores) is contained in many of these types of products, and is relatively inexpensive.

Some people, however, do not respond to salicylic acid; for those people, benzoyl peroxide is often more suited. This treatment can cause unwanted side effects in some people (such as dry skin or slight peeling), but by continuing on a regular treatment involving benzoyl peroxide, many people find that their skin clears up dramatically.

Tropical weather, however, is very humid. This means that if one applies thick benzoyl peroxide creams, they can drip. This will cause issues in that, if it drips off the face, it can't be fighting zits and if the running cream touches one's hair or eyebrows, they might get stained. It can also irreparably stain clothes.

In these situations, a very light cream that contains ingredients that cannot stain hair and clothes is usually more suitable. Creams that contain a chemical called azelaic acid are useful in this climate because it is lightweight on the skin and has been proved to be very successful at fighting the cause of zits.

It should be noted that everybody's skin is different. This means that what works for one person may not work for another and some experimentation is usually required. If experimentation fails to find a suitable solution, you may want to consider contacting a dermatologist.

Whatever the type of skin product you need - whether it is to treat a condition such as acne, or simply to enhance your appearance - by properly researching appropriate skin care products first and following these acne skincare tips for the tropical weather you should be able to find something suitable for your skin type.
