The transition from summer to winter and how to incorporate it into your skincare regimen

It is important to assess the needs of  skin seasonally. Weather can affect skin in multiple ways;  during winter, it can be begin feeling dry, flakey, or itchy and in the warmer months skin can get oilier resulting in the sebum melting inside the pores. Adding the following skincare products into your regime should help you get your skin winter ready:

Start to use an emollient and antioxidant based rich moisturizer to help retain moisture in the skin. Moisturizers should contain cell-communicating ingredients to increase the producing of normal skin cells and anti-inflammatory derivatives to help fight off free radicals that may affect the skin from the harsh effects from the winter season.
Use a serum nightly followed by a night moisturizer to make sure the skin is being treated after weather exposure to keep your skin ahead of the winter game!


BHA, Salicylic 2% daily exfoliators are useful for skin that gets dry and cracked as a result in the change of weather, you should always include nightly exfoliation in your evening routine to rid of the build up of dry skin cells that usually result in breakouts and clogged pores.

UV rays are still greatly apparent and strong during winter weather; even if the sun is not visible, make sure to protect your skin daily with at least an SPF 30 year round to build up your skin’s resilience to be able to withstand these harsh effects that can occur with each season change..
