Stephanie Gee's Best Tips For Treating Summer Breakouts
Summer can be a very harsh season on our skin. The combination of warm weather and humidity intensifies oil production which leads to clogged pores. This on top of sweat, sun, and generally being outdoors can result in more breakouts than usual.
Stephanie Gee is sharing her best product recommendations for dealing with your summer skin and stopping breakouts!
