15 Products That Will Banish Your Breakouts This Summer

Summer comes with a lot of fun ways to experiment with your beauty look: it's a time when festival hair and colorful makeup reigns supreme. Unfortunately, the warmer weather can also lead to excess sweating — and some serious breakouts on your face and body. Luckily, there are ways to combat it.

If you have oily skin, you can pick a lighter gel moisturiser. Or, if you're prone to body breakouts, you can keep a salicylic acid spray in your bag to battle sweat-induced zits. Ahead, check out the products to include in your Summer haul that will help keep pimples at bay.
