Seasonal skin care: Adapting your routine for dry skin throughout the year
Dealing with dry skin can seem like an uphill battle, especially if you have to swap out some of your skincare products to accommodate the seasonal changes. But with care, patience and the right combination of natural products, you will definitely see results! Here are some tips for adapting your skin care routine for dry skin throughout the year.
Spring & Summer:
For many of us, spring and summer are the most anticipated seasons of the year. But the extra light, heat and time outdoors means a little extra maintenance for our skin, too. Since we always want our skin to look and feel its best, it can be difficult to put on the exact products we need for glowing, supple skin, especially if it’s dry, temperamental skin! Let’s avoid the “spring” and summer skin blues with the following tips:
Tip #1: Cleanse: Be sure to cleanse your skin thoroughly with a gentle, natural cleanser morning and night to remove sweat, debris, and product residue at the end of each day.
Tip #2: Hydration: In the warmer months, your skin can lose moisture quickly. Incorporate a moisturizer into your skin regimen to keep your skin firm and supple, while also remembering to drink plenty of water. You’ll also want to add a natural moisturizer to nourish and lock in hydration.
Tip #3: Protection: Sunscreen is important all year round, but it’s especially necessary during the spring and summer. Also be sure to reapply sunscreen every two hours when you’re outdoors to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays that are strongest in the summer.
Tip #4: Coverage: To avoid build-up or clogged pores from extra sweat in the warmer months, choose lightweight makeup products that allow your skin to breathe. Heavy makeup can clog pores and lead to breakouts in hot, humid conditions.
Autumn & Winter:
As the temperature and humidity levels drop, so does the condition of dry skin if you don’t adjust your skin care routine. Whether the leaves are changing color or the trees are becoming bare while the bears are becoming scarcer, your sensitive skin could fall into the murky realm of increased sensitivity, irritation and dry skin.
The good news is that dry skin can be prevented if you’re proactive about upgrading your skin care routine with super moisturizing and hydrating ingredients. Let’s avoid falling behind or facing winter skin problems with the following tips:
Tip #1: Cleanse: By using gentle, moisturizing cleansers it’s best to avoid stripping the skin of its natural oils, which you want to protect in the cooler, moisture-stealing months.
Tip #2: Hydration: Instead of grabbing a light moisturizer that works for the warmer months and calling it a day, you’ll want to adjust your regimen to deeply hydrate your skin. Replace your basic lightweight formula with a deep moisturizer that can quench and soothe dry skin. Our final offering from the gods of heavenly hydration is a hydrating mask that will heal and soothe dry skin during fall, as well as help soothe common winter skin culprits like itchiness and dryness. dryness.
Tip #3: Hydration: Don’t forget that your body will need some TLC during the colder months. When you get out of the shower, gently pat your skin dry instead of rubbing the towel against your skin. Then follow with a rich body cream like Honey Almond Body Butter or even a light body lotion. Honey is a natural humectant that will help lock moisture into your skin.
Tip #4: Exfoliate: It also includes a balanced skincare routine for the cooler months gentle exfoliation. Exfoliating is important to remove dead skin cells and enhance the absorption of your moisturizer as well as the potential benefits of your products – but be careful not to overdo it! That’s why we love the gentle exfoliating properties of Acai Pulp Facial Scrub. Combining antioxidant-packed yumberries with heavenly acai berry, our gentle berry scrub is truly superfruit heaven.
Tip #5: Protection: Not all face products need to go dormant in the colder months. Take sunscreen for example. You may be wondering, why bother with sunscreen in essentially sunless winter? It’s cooler outside, so you don’t have to worry about sunburn or photodamage, right?
These all-time rock stars are essential all year round – even in winter! It may be gray outside, but don’t skimp on that SPF number. Also be sure to reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
