Summer calls for less-is-more makeup, compelling us to temporarily stow products that disguise and conceal in favor of a minimalist fresh-faced glow. Which is why warm-weather breakouts can be particularly frustrating. New York City dermatologist Ellen Marmur points out that while sunlight tends to reduce acne, a seasonal mix of travel, exercise, sunscreen, and makeup can throw the skin off balance, resulting in blemishes. To better address your specific issues, begin by noting what type of breakout you’re dealing with. “Little [bumps] under the skin are usually caused by products, while [larger blemishes] are typically results of hormones and diet, and blackheads are a sign of clogged pores,” says Marmur.

Fortunately, spots caused by lazy summer behaviors are the most easily remedied—dermatologist Amy Wechsler points out that immediately removing sweaty clothing, carrying mattifying papers, and disinfecting cell phones and headphones with alcohol swabs are all quick fixes for problematic skin. For a long-term, preventative strategy, updating your skin-care arsenal with the season’s most innovative products will help to cleanse, exfoliate, and treat without overdrying on a regular basis. From an at-home, brightening Vitamin C peel to a time-release acne cleanser, these thirteen formulas promise to breakout-proof your skin this summer.
