You’ve probably noticed that your skin changes with the seasons. In winter, your skin may feel dry and tight. In summer, you might see a lot of blemishes and pimples. In spring, it may feel oily, or in autumn, you might have a breakout after using a new product. No matter what time of year it is, there are ways to keep your skin looking healthy and glowing. Here are some tips on how to take care of your skin during seasonal changes.
How to take care of your skin in winter
Winter is the time of year when skin needs to be taken care of the most. Whether it’s dry skin, skin that feels tight, or skin that is more susceptible to breakouts, there are some things you can do to keep your skin glowing.
Many people find that their skin gets too dry in the winter. If this is the case for you, try hydrating oils on your face or lips. Try an intensive moisturizer all over your body, not just your face. Products such as skinguard restore mousse can replenish your skin.
If your skin feels tight and looks dull, exfoliate regularly to remove any dead cells on the surface of your skin. This will help your new cells regenerate quicker and give you more supple-looking skin.
If you have oily or breakout-prone skin, use products with oil-free moisturizers, so they don’t make your breakouts worse.Â
How to take care of your skin in summer
Summer is the time of year when you notice dry skin. Your skin may feel tight and uncomfortable. This is because the sun can absorb the moisture of your skin making it feel drier in the summertime, causing it to become dry. Your skin can also become irritated during this season due to sun exposure. There are some easy ways to make your skin feel comfortable again:
- Drink plenty of water (at least eight glasses per day)
- Use a humidifier in your bedroom at night to keep your air moist
- Avoid too much direct sunlight
- Wear sunscreen every day, even if it’s cloudy outside
- Apply moisturizer liberally every morning and evening
How to take care of your skin in spring
In spring, you may notice a lot of blemishes and pimples as your skin reacts to the change in temperature. To keep your skin looking healthy and fresh during this time of year, it’s important to moisturize.Â
Moisturizers help with dry skin and help the complexion look brighter. If you use a makeup primer before applying makeup, it will also help to create a smoother base for your makeup application.
You want to make sure that your skincare routine is gentle yet effective in the springtime. Find a cleanser free of harsh ingredients like alcohol, oil, fragrance, soap, or sulfates. Additionally, make sure your moisturizer is oil-free and contains sunscreen because UV rays can cause severe damage in springtime.Â
How to take care of your skin in autumn
As the leaves fall and the days get shorter, the weather gets colder. The dry air can cause your skin to become dry and tight. To avoid this, apply a moisturizer with sunscreen every day.
In autumn, you might also notice breakouts from changing your diet or using a new product. Use a cleansing mask to remove these impurities from your pores before putting on makeup or going out for the day.
In the winter, you may have more greasy skin. This could be because of dry skin or because you’re not drinking enough water. Try adding an oil-free moisturizer to your routine if you need a little extra hydration during this time of year.Â
