The sweat is real, people. With summer firmly set in, a whole new personal care routine is required to handle the sweat, your face's shininess, and the smells. Below is a list of summer skin-friendly products that we have discovered over the years, along with where to get them in Beijing (hint: the answer, as always, is Taobao).

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash

Keep your face clean with this oil-free acne wash from Neutrogena, available as a pink grapefruit foaming scrub or as a redness-reducing cream cleanser. Salicylic acid helps clear congested follicles and prevent breakouts.

Get it on Taobao for RMB 110.

Makeup Setting Spray by Urban Decay

A spray to keep your makeup looking great throughout the entire day, regardless of how steamy things get while you’re on your way to the party after a day at work. We recommend the all-nighter version, which claims to keep your face in place for 16 hours.

Get it on Taobao for RMB 245.

Alba Botanica Oil Control Lotion

Alba Botanica has a lighter face cream in its product range that hydrates while reducing shine. Salicylic acid and willow bark help clear congested follicles, and the lotion also helps regulate excess oil production for a lasting matte finish.

Get it on Taobao for RMB 177.

Mitchum Deodorant

Our favorite deodorant is on Taobao! Gone are the days of having to ask family members to ship me boxes of deodorant. I find Mitchum works pretty well against Beijing’s summer, fighting both sweat and odor. Try the roll-on.

Get it on Taobao for RMB 55-60
