Author: Marilynn Syrett Seasons change and so should skin care regimes. Just like the weather is not the same across different seasons, our skin requirements vary accordingly as well. The changes in temperatures and humidity levels make the skin respond in different ways. Dry skin becomes oily in the summer and oily skin becomes dry in the winter.
It is very important to understand the needs and demands of your skin and nourish it appropriately in the face of changing weather conditions. Here are some things you need to know:
• With every changing season, evaluate the changes in your skin if it gets excessively dry or over greasy or produces acne attacks.
• Make sure you have different skin care products for different seasons.
• Check the expiration dates of all your skin care products and don’t use last season leftover products
• Wear sunscreen daily irrespective of what season it may be.
Let us now understand your skin care needs in different seasons and how your skin care regimen should be to suit the particular requirements.
Winter
Winter is a time for cold dry winds that bring with it skin dryness. Here are some ways to tackle the winter skin woes:
Exfoliate – During winter months, it is very important to exfoliate the skin in order to scrape off the dead skin cells and flaky skin that come along in the colder months. Moreover, it makes the skin smooth so that other moisturizing lotions can penetrate easily. Try Obagi Nu Derm Exfoderm Forte, an amazing exfoliating lotion that contains alpha-hydroxy acids in a special base that smoothes and tones damaged skin.
Moisturize – Moisturizing is an indispensable step in your skin care regimen during winter. After exfoliation clears all the dead and flaky skin, moisturizers heal the dry and itchy skin underneath. For extra hydration, use an oil-based moisturizer. Use NeoCutis Bio-restorative Skin Cream that contains PSP that not only moisturizes the skin but also protects it against many skin damaging factors.
Avoid Hot Showers – Taking long hot baths during winters may seem irresistible. However, as hot the water will be so much harm it is going to inflict on the skin. hot water tends to rob the skin’s intrinsic moisture and leave it dry and flaky. Get into the habit of taking short warm showers instead.
Spring
Spring time comes as a welcome break from the chilly winter months. And it is probably the best time to pamper your skin and prepare it for the warmer months ahead.
Exfoliate & Moisturize – Fortunately, there is more moisture in the air during Spring But that doesn’t mean you can do without exfoliates and moisturizers. Your skin needs as much moisture as any other season. Remove the layer of dead skin cells and moisturize well.
Rejuvenate – Spring is an ideal time have facials and face masks that rejuvenate the skin cells and make the skin smooth and radiant.
Refresh & Revive – Use a gentle cleanser that helps revitalize your skin and remove all impurities and oil residues that may clog the skin pores. You should use an alcohol-free cleanser in the evenings to avoid drying the skin.
Summer
After the pleasant spring, it is time for the scorching heat of summer. And this is a time when skin care becomes an all-consuming task. From protecting exposed body parts from the harmful sun radiation to keeping acne inflammations at bay, summer is a time of rigorous skin care.
Protect – Wear sunscreen all day, especially as you spend time outdoors in the sun. Choose a sunscreen that guarantees broad spectrum protection against the UVA and UVB rays of the sunlight.
Nourish – Summer is a time for short skirts and bikinis. And this means you will have to shave or wax regularly. Make sure you use a shaving lotion that nourishes the skin and if you wax, always moisturize your skin when you are done.
Prevent Oiliness – One of the common summer skin concerns is oily skin. Thus avoid using oil-based skin care products that promote oiliness. Instead use gels and oil-free skin care products that satiate your skin without making it oily.
