When sebum increase, it causes the formation of comedones. Clogged pores promote the way proliferation of bacteria which are responsible for the inflammation and pimples. You can change your skin care routine to help to control acne-prone skin with are few summer skin care tips:

Rub an ice cube on the face if you have inflamed acne. It reduces inflammation.
Limit to use of scrubs no more than twice a week. Excessive use of scrubs leads to skin irritation.
Use a water-based non-comedogenic moisturizer for skin hydration without leaving more oils on the surface. Dehydrated skin can increase the production of sebum, which makes acne worse. Acne treatments can dry out your skin, and you will want moisturizing to counteract that. A good, oil-free moisturizer won't trigger breakouts, but will help ease dryness, flakiness, and peeling.
