August in the Philippines is all about hot, humid days, balik-eskwela prep, and for many teens; acne breakouts. With the mix of sweat, oil, and stress from the new school year, it’s common to see more pimples popping up this month.
At Body Concepts, we help Filipino teens take control of their skin confidently and safely—no expensive products or complicated routines needed. Here’s what your skin actually needs this August:
🔥 1. Hot, Humid Weather = Oilier Skin (and More Breakouts)
When the weather is warm and humid, your skin produces more oil, especially around the forehead, nose, and chin. Sweat, dirt, and pollution can easily clog pores. What to do:
- Wash your face morning and night with a gentle cleanser (not too harsh!)
- Use oil-free moisturizers and sunscreen to keep skin protected without clogging
- Avoid scrubbing your face too much, it can irritate and inflame breakouts
🎒 2. Back-to-School = Breakout Season
New schedules, homework stress, and lack of sleep can trigger hormonal breakouts—especially for teens. Add heat and tight uniforms or mask-wearing, and you’ve got a recipe for pimples.
Tips:
- Keep a basic routine: cleanser + toner + moisturizer + sunscreen
- Use spot treatments with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide for active pimples
- Don’t pop pimples, it can lead to dark marks or scars
🩺 Still breaking out? Our dermatologists can design a custom plan just for your skin.
🌤 3. Sunscreen = Your Skin’s Best Friend
Even if you’re indoors most of the day, UV rays still reach your skin, especially through windows or on your commute.
Use a lightweight sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, especially if you’re using acne treatments or exfoliants.
