I think we can all agree it was a glorious Easter weekend, perfect for egg hunts and picnics or just lounging by the pool. Not so glorious? Humidity was back in full force. Today’s reading is 91 per cent, and the forecast for the week goes as high as 95. I’ve decided to take some preventive measures this year and assemble an arsenal of products to help battle the inevitable clogged pores and overactive oil glands.
1. Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment
One of the best deep-cleansing masks I’ve tried, Glamglow’s Supermud Clearing Treatment (HK$560) uses a blend of activated charcoal, clay and acids to achieve “deep pore vacuum extraction”. Besides natural herbs and antioxidants, the thick mud-like mask has real pieces of eucalyptus leaf. Even better, you can see it working as it the mud dries from dark to light green. Available at Joyce Beauty counters and stores, and Joyce Grooming (2522 2886).

2. Eve Lom Dynaspot
Eve Lom already has a cult following for her cleansing balm – perfect to rinse off a summer day – and now she’s created a quick fix for those breakouts and blemishes that seem to hang around over summer. Dynaspot (HK$320) boasts a range of acne-fighting ingredients including salicylic acid, tea tree oil and zinc oxide. It comes in a skin-tone tint with an ophthalmic nozzle for precise application. Available at 10/10 Space (3595 1152) and Joyce Beauty counters and stores.
