Why this worksWhen the weather changes, so do the conditions your skin faces. Increased humidity or dryness can affect your skin's moisture levels, leading to issues like flakiness or breakouts. Adapting your routine helps maintain balance and keeps your skin looking its best through the transition.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Cleanse Gently Switch to a gentle cleanser that won't strip your skin's natural oils. Look for something hydrating to combat dryness from fluctuating temperatures.
  2. Exfoliate Wisely Incorporate a mild exfoliant to remove dead skin cells but don’t overdo it. Aim for 1-2 times a week to keep your skin smooth without irritation.
  3. Moisturise Smartly Use a lightweight, hydrating moisturiser that suits your skin type. Consider layering a hydrating serum underneath to lock in moisture during transitional weather.
  4. Protect Your Skin Don’t forget sunscreen! Even in cloudy or cool weather, UV rays can still damage your skin. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily.

Where people go wrong

Many people stick to their summer skincare routine, which can lead to dryness or irritation. Others may over-exfoliate, thinking it will help, but this can actually worsen sensitivity. Remember, less is often more when transitioning between seasons.

The pro moveConsider using a humidifier indoors to maintain moisture levels in your skin during the cooler months.
