Heat, humidity, and increased oil production create the perfect environment for breeding bacteria causing clogged pores, resulting in blemishes and acne.
Age spots and sunspots become darker during the summer months. This is due to additional UV around rousing melanocytes. These spots can also increase in number.
How to change the skincare routine for summer
One way to keep acne at bay and dark spots away is with M.A.D Skincare’s Signature Summer Facial.
Combining a myriad enzymes, peels, serums and masks, this signature facial will help say goodbye to summer's seasonal skin changes.
