Cold and dry air
Lower humidity can leave skin feeling tight. A richer moisturizer and shorter, cooler showers can help skin feel more comfortable in winter months.
Heat and humidity
In warm weather, lighter textures often feel better. Sweat and sunscreen buildup make an effective evening cleanse more important.
Sun exposure all year
UV exposure happens on cloudy days and through windows too, so daily sunscreen is a good habit in every season.
• Switch to a richer moisturizer in winter
• Choose lighter textures in summer
• Wear sunscreen daily, whatever the forecast
Key Takeaways
• Adjust textures as the seasons change
• Cleanse well after hot, humid days
• Sun protection matters all year
