How To Sweat-Proof Skincare for Hot August Days with Éminence Organics
Prep your skin for summer with our sweat-proof skincare guide helping you cope with hot August days throughout the summer.
August heat and humidity can do a number on your skincare routine. Sweat, excess oil, and sun exposure often lead to clogged pores, shiny skin, and midday meltdowns — literally.
The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice glow for staying power. With the right sweat-proof skincare from Éminence Organics, you can keep your skin fresh, balanced, and radiant — even on the hottest days.
Here’s your ultimate August skincare guide for staying cool, calm, and collected.
1. Start with a Deep Cleanse
Why: Sweat mixes with sunscreen, makeup, and pollution — leading to breakouts and congestion. A deep but gentle cleanse is essential.
Gel Cleanser Fans Should Try:
🔹 Éminence Stone Crop Gel Wash
This sulfate-free cleanser balances all skin types and removes impurities without stripping moisture. Stone crop soothes redness and keeps skin looking refreshed.
If You’re A Creamy Cleanser Fan Try:
🔹 Éminence Bright Skin Cleanser
With Natural Hydroquinon Alternative from Tara Tree and African Potato, to give your skin a brighter more evened out skin tone.
Using a botanical cleanser from Éminence, not only keeps your skin clear and clean, they also help to hydrate and treat your skin, helping it look its best throughout the summer months.
2. Use a Lightweight, Non-Greasy Moisturizer
Why: Heavy creams can feel heavy and sometimes oily in the heat. Choose hydrating formulas that absorb quickly and support your skins protective barrier.
Try:
🔹 Éminence Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer
Packed with cucumber, tea tree, and yogurt, this lightweight cream controls oil and minimizes pores — perfect for sweat-prone skin.
🔹 Éminence Mangosteen Gel Moisturizer
A great option for normal to combination skin. It provides antioxidant protection and a silky matte finish.
Opting for a ligherweight moisturiser in the summer is a great way to keep your skin protected, hydrated and moisturised without looking too shiny.
3. Mattify Skin with a Serum or Primer
Why: For those extra-hot days or special occasions, mattifying formulas help reduce oil without drying your skin.
Summer Fave Serum Try:
🔹 Éminence Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum
While not mattifying per se, this serum hydrates deeply without weight — a great pre-step before makeup or SPF.
Silicone Free Primer Try:
🔹 Éminence Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Concentrate
A selfie-filter in a bottle, use this silky hydrator to infuse your skin with antioxidants and vitamins, it will blur imperfections working as a skin primer without any pore clogging ingredients.
4. Control Shine with Smart Exfoliation
Why: Dead skin + sweat = congestion. Exfoliating a few times a week keeps skin smooth and helps products work better.
For A Creamy Exfoliant Try:
🔹 Éminence Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel 5%
This gentle AHA peel refines skin texture and reduces surface buildup — without irritation.
Bonus: Follow with a spritz of Stone Crop Hydrating Mist to calm and hydrate instantly.
For A Quick & Easy Exfoliant Try:
🔹 Éminence VitaSkin Exfoliating Peels
We love all four VitaSkin Peels as there is one for every skin type. Simply soak the organic cotton round with the peel solution and apply. Leave for 3 mins and you are done! No need to remove and there is no downtime either!
5. Prime and Protect with SPF
Why: Sunscreen is non-negotiable — even on cloudy days. Look for a non-comedogenic, breathable SPF that won’t feel heavy or greasy. At Éminence we love mineral SPF as it doesn’t feel “hot” on your skin and we feel is a healthier option all round
Try:
🔹 Éminence Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40
A multitasking moisturizer + mineral sunscreen that protects from UVA/UVB and blue light. It layers perfectly under makeup and stays put in the heat.
For an SPF Applied Over A Moisturiser Try:
🔹 Éminence Daily Defense Tinted SPF50+
With our highest SPF factor this milky formula can be applied over your favourite moisturiser or on its own. It has a versatile sheer tint, blurs imperfections and leaves your skin looking summer ready.
Quick Midday Rescue:
Toss these into your bag:
🔹 Éminence Stone Crop Hydrating Mist
Use it to cool down, refresh your skin, and rehydrate on the go — especially after sweating or sun exposure.
🔹 Éminence Sun Defense Minerals
Easy on-the-go SPF protection, in a light-weight powder in 6 versatile shades. It is advisable to re-apply SPF every 2 hours, and these powders make that hassle-free!
