When the weather gets warmer or cooler our skin has diverse needs. Exposure to elements, temperature changes, environmental factors all play a role in the need for skincare routine adjustments.

Climates range from very cold to very warm and everything in-between, once you feel like you have got a handle on a good skincare routine, the seasons change.

Although it can be frustrating this can provide an opportunity for a skincare routine update and revitalization. Offering up the chance to try new products and to add regular spa services into your skincare routine. Adding new products and regular day spa services can help to maintain skincare quality in the long term while making the skincare transition between seasons a breeze.

Why Seasonal Skincare Matters

Your skin’s behavior can be influenced by external and environmental factors like humidity, temperature, and UV exposure.

Summer/Warmer Temps. – Sweat and oil production increase, leading to clogged pores. Air Conditioning can do the opposite if you live in climates that are “too hot to handle”. The back and forth between high heat and air conditioning can lead to skincare chaos, with the need to balance regular moisturizing with control over oil production.
Winter/Colder Temps - Dry air and indoor heating can strip your skin of moisture, in turn which can lead to flakiness and skin irritations.

Ignoring these changes can result in skin dullness, breakouts, or even accelerate the aging process to your skin. Tailoring and adjusting your skin care routine helps to keep your skin balanced and protected.

Transitioning Between Seasons

Spring Cleaning - Focus on cleaning out winter’s dead skin cell buildup.

Using a light exfoliant to remove dead skin cells.
Introducing a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid to prep for warmer weather.

Summer Heat - Focus on oil control and sun protection.

Switch to a mattifying moisturizer or gel moisturizer.
Use a mineral-based sunscreen SPF 30 or higher daily.

Fall Rejuvenation - Focus on repairing summer sun and heat damage to the skin.

Introduce a vitamin C serum to help even out skin tone and lighten or reduce the appearance of dark spots induced by sun exposure.
Swap lightweight gel or mattifying moisturizers for richer, creamier formulas.

Winter Hydration - Focus on incorporating deeper hydration and skin moisture barrier repair.

Use a relieving, cream-based moisturizer.
Avoiding over-exfoliation to maintain skin’s natural oils and to better retain skin's moisture barrier.
