Oil-Free Moisturiser

Opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturisers to hydrate your skin without clogging pores, as heavy creams trap heat and oil.

Breathable Fabrics

Wear loose, cotton clothing instead of tight synthetics to reduce sweat trapping on body and face, minimising risks of body acne.
