Skincare Through the Seasons: How to Adapt Your Routine Year-Round
Skin is constantly adapting to its environment, and with every seasonal change, new challenges arise. From winter dryness to summer oiliness, the shifts in weather directly influence how your skin behaves. By adjusting your skincare routine throughout the year and choosing products that support these changes - you can maintain a balanced, healthy, and radiant complexion in every season.
How Seasonal Weather Affects the Skin
Each season comes with its own unique skin concerns:
Winter
-
Cold Air & Indoor Heating: Both strip away natural moisture, leading to flakiness and irritation.
-
Low Humidity: Without enough moisture in the air, skin becomes more prone to cracks and rough patches.
Summer
-
Intense Sun Exposure: Increases the risk of sunburn, premature aging, and uneven skin tone.
-
High Humidity & Sweat: These conditions raise oil production, clog pores, and trigger breakouts.
Spring & Autumn
-
Unpredictable Conditions: Fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels can throw skin off balance, causing sudden dryness or excess shine.
