High humidity, hot temperatures, wind and sweat all have the potential to cause skin concerns in summer. From dehydration, to breakouts, to a shiny complexion and pigmentation, summer skincare concerns may be frustrating, but the good news is that with the right skincare regime, they can be overcome.

If you haven’t already, it’s time to pack away your winter skincare and to invest in a lighter regime for the warmer months. For affordable, targeted skincare that addresses your skin’s needs while giving it plenty of moisture and nourishment, look no further than Creightons.

Creightons is an award-winning company that designs, creates and manufactures a wide range of skincare products. Creightons products are made with the highest quality formulations and packaging and are available across the globe. Creightons is 100% cruelty-free and where possible the products are vegan-friendly.

Creightons currently has four different skincare ranges available, each one addressing some of the most common skincare concerns we face during summer:

Salicylic Acid range

If your skin is producing more sebum (oil) during summer, if you are experiencing blackheads and breakouts or if your pores are clogged or enlarged, the Salicylic Acid range is for you. This wonder ingredient treats and prevents breakouts by unplugging blocked pores and loosening dry and dead skin cells, resulting in a clearer complexion, reduced swelling and reduced redness. The Creightons Salicylic Acid range comprises:

• Creightons Salicylic Acid Clay Cleanser 125ml (From R75.95) – Creightons Salicylic Acid Foaming Clay Cleanser combines Kaolin Clay with Salicylic and Lactic Acids to help absorb excess oil and maintain healthier, clearer-looking skin every day. Dermatologically tested.

• Creightons Salicylic Acid Face Serum 30ml (From R104.95) – Creightons Salicylic Acid Intense Serum is formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid, an effective ingredient to help reduce the appearance of blackheads, blemishes, and pores; for a clearer, more radiant complexion. Dermatologically tested.

Vitamin C range

If your skin is prone to developing sun spots and pigmentation during summer, then vitamin C is the perfect ingredient to add to your regime. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that has the ability to minimise as well as prevent the formation of sun-induced pigmentation. Plus, it brightens the complexion, leaving you looking refreshed and radiant. The Creightons Vitamin C range comprises:

• Creightons Vitamin C Face Scrub 150ml (From R99.95) – An energising and exfoliating scrub. Infused with vitamin C, natural fruit acids, and enzymes to effectively cleanse and exfoliate for healthier-looking skin.

This non-greasy essence melts quickly into the skin releasing beneficial ingredients – Vitamin C, natural fruit acids, and enzymes, to hydrate and enhance your natural glow.

H2O Boost range

Dehydration is a common skincare concern all year round, even during summer! When skin is dehydrated (lacking water), it produces more oil to compensate, which usually results in a shiny complexion and breakouts. The best ingredient to treat dehydration is hyaluronic acid, a super hydrator with the ability to hold 1000 times its weight in water. The Creightons H2O Boost range contains this powerful ingredient, and comprises:

• Creightons H2o Boost Foaming Gel Wash 250ml (From R109.95) – Creightons H2O Boost Hyaluronic Foaming Gel Wash gently removes makeup and impurities whilst hydrating the skin, helping encourage a naturally glowing complexion. Dermatologically tested.

• Creightons H2o Boost Face Serum 25ml (From 179.95) – Replenish skin’s appearance and instantly boost hydration levels with a lightweight serum enriched with powerful actives to smooth and renew dehydrated skin. Dermatologically tested.

Pink grapefruit range

If your skin gets oily and shiny during summer, you’re not alone. A shiny T-zone is one of the most common summer skincare concerns. A clarifying ingredient like pink grapefruit may help. Grapefruit contains various different acids which can play an essential role in your skin’s health by helping with exfoliation. These acids help break down dry and dead skin cells before they clog pores and lead to breakouts, plus it has astringent properties, making it a great choice for oily skin. The Creightons Pink Grapefruit range comprises:

• Creightons Pink Grapefruit Face Scrub 150ml (From R69.95) – Creightons Pink Grapefruit Daily Face Scrub. Gently exfoliates and unclogs pores to help promote a brighter, more radiant complexion. Dermatologically tested.
• Creightons Pink Grapefruit Face Wash 150ml (From R69.95) – Creightons Pink Grapefruit Refreshing Face Wash. Effectively removes dirt and impurities while invigorating the skin to help encourage a fresh, healthy-looking complexion. Dermatologically tested.
• Creightons Pink Grapefruit Micellar Water 250ml (From R69.95) – Creightons Pink Grapefruit Gently Cleansing Micellar Water. Lifts away impurities and stubborn make-up for soft, soothed, and refreshed skin in just one step. Dermatologically tested.
