Should my skincare routine change with the seasons?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just like your wardrobe, social calendar, and thermostat, your skin feels the changes of the seasons. But how much you feel those effects mainly depends on where you live, your lifestyle, your skin type, and above all, your skin concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two main seasonal factors that affect your skin are temperature and humidity.1 <\/sup><\/a> So, if you live in a place where these elements change with the seasons, you might notice some skin changes \u2014 ranging from minor to when will this winter finally end?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather is just one of the many environmental factors that affect your skin \u2014 AKA the exposome<\/a>. Fortunately, with a combination of healthy nutrition, restful sleep, and great skincare, there are plenty of ways to prep your skin for changes to the exposome or seasonal shake-ups. And adapting or changing your skincare routine every season might be one of the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is one thing that should always stay constant in your skincare routine year-round: high SPF, broad spectrum sunscreen. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong><\/em> The skin science and tips below are written from a Northern Hemisphere, four-season perspective. You know your skin (and local weather) best, so take only what makes sense for you and leave the rest! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens to my skin in the spring? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the season to start fresh \u2014 for both you and your skin. Now your main skin focus should be shedding off those winter layers and prioritizing spring cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First thing you might notice on the way out of hibernation mode? Your skin needs a reset. Months of cold, dry air can leave a layer of dullness on your complexion. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, Dr. Garre has some good news to share about this transitional season, \u201cAs temperatures rise and humidity returns, your skin tends to balance out its moisture levels naturally. Sebum (oil) production also increases.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But your complexion might need a helping hand to keep things in check. Combine an increase in oil production with outdoor activities and you\u2019ve got one result \u2014 congested skin. An uptick in pollutants, dirt, and pollen in the spring breeze can also make your skin feel a bit overloaded. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
