Understanding Humidity and Skin

Humidity levels above 70% can affect your skin's moisture balance.

High humidity can lead to excess oil production, making makeup wear challenging.

Dry skin may still occur due to air conditioning or dehydration.

Pre-Commute Skin Prep

Start with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities.

Apply a hydrating toner to prep your skin for moisture.

Use a lightweight moisturizer with humectants to lock in hydration.

• Choose products labeled 'non-comedogenic'.
• Avoid heavy creams that can clog pores.
• Look for ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid.

Makeup Application Tips

Opt for a mattifying primer to control shine.

Use a long-lasting foundation with a matte finish.

Set your makeup with a translucent powder to absorb excess oil.

• Avoid heavy layers of makeup.
• Use a setting spray to enhance longevity.
• Consider oil-free formulas for a lighter feel.

Touch-Up Techniques for Humidity

Carry blotting papers to absorb excess oil without disturbing makeup.

Use a lightweight powder for quick touch-ups.

Mist your face with a hydrating spray to refresh your look.

• Avoid rubbing your face; gently dab instead.
• Reapply sunscreen every two hours if exposed to UV.
• Keep makeup tools clean to prevent breakouts.

Post-Commute Skin Care

Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove sweat and makeup.

Apply a nourishing serum to replenish moisture.

Use a rich moisturizer at night to combat dryness.
