Face Gel
As always, it starts with skincare. "During the warmer months, your skin gets a lot more moisture from the air," explains Ada Polla, skincare expert and CEO of Alchimie Forever. "Look for oil-free products that will help with shine and excess sebum." Her Antioxidant Skin Repair Gel($55) is the perfect all-in-one: aftershave balm, instant cooling effect with rosemary, and it keeps your skin matte all day. Make sure to tap it into the hairline and along the T-Zone for extra protection.
Face Wipes
"If you work out in the mornings, carry face wipes in your gym bag," says Polla. "You'll continue to sweat for about an hour after you workout, so clean up that oil and sweat to prevent odor."
As we all know, sometimes the AM commute can be just as dampening as a gym session. Get two packs of Dermalogica's Skin Purifying Wipes ($17)—one for the gym, one for the office. Your shirt will no longer have that humid, sweaty feeling, and you can clean up oily patches on your face.
Dry Shampoo
Sometimes, the best tips really do come from the ladies. Dry shampoo is essentially hairspray that zaps moisture, so your hair is left dry and refreshed. (Think of it as a shower without water.) Just blast the front areas of your hair where you collect sweat, and reapply product as needed (or not at all). The easiest to use is hands down Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray ($39).
