Transitioning
Your Skin Care
Routine for the
Change in
Seasons
Even though skin gets less sweaty
and oily during the fall and winter,
cleansing is still one of the most
important aspects of skin care.
Proper cleansing can prevent those
unsightly breakouts that tend to
spoil your holiday plans.
A good cleanser can be used just
once per day to control oils and
eliminate the bacteria that leads to
pimples forming.
Cleansing is a
Year-Round Deal
Cold air holds less humidity than warm
air, and indoor heating (including your car
heater) can sap even more moisture out
of the air.
Less environmental moisture means drier
skin, unless you use a good moisturizer
regularly.
A good moisturizer won’t feel oily on the
skin, but will add hydration that helps
prevent dry, flaky skin, and chapped lips.
Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water,
also helps keep skin hydrated during
colder weather. Even if you don’t feel as
thirsty as you do during hot weather, your
body still needs those fluids.
Don’t overdo it with the hot, caffeinated
beverages like coffee and hot cocoa.
Caffeine tends to dehydrate the body
instead of helping hydrate it. Alcohol is
also dehydrating, so follow up that dinner
cocktail with a refreshing glass of water.
Cooler Weather
Means More
Moisturizer
Toner is often overlooked, especially if you’re
trying to cut down on expenses or keep your
routine light and manageable in the mornings.
However, toner helps lower skin sensitivity,
which is most commonly a problem during
cold weather.
Toner also reduces pore size, meaning your
holiday makeup looks exceptionally smooth
and beautiful.
Toner helps reduce impurities on the skin.
Since indoor air quality is usually much more
polluted than outdoors, and you spend more
time indoors during the cold weather, toner
can be your secret weapon against impurities
in the air that lead to breakouts.
Keep using your toner when spring arrives for
a smoother, more vibrant complexion.
Toner is Your
Secret Weapon
Against Winter
Skin Impurities
A common mistake during fall and
winter is to stop using sunscreen and
products containing SPF. However, the
sun’s rays are just as damaging in fall
and winter, yet people don’t realize
how much sun they’re getting because
it doesn’t feel so hot and bright.
Sun rays are particularly hazardous in
snow, because the ultraviolet light is
reflected off the snow and back toward
your face.
Even minimal exposure to ultraviolet
rays during your daily commute,
walking the dog, or even getting the
mail can lead to premature wrinkles
and dangerous skin cancer.
Don’t Put Away
the Sunscreen
Most people wash their faces less
frequently as the weather cools
because there isn’t much need to wash
away sweat and oils.
Exfoliation is important in helping rid the
skin of old cells, so that new cells can
thrive. This becomes more important
when you’re washing your face less
frequently in cool weather.
Exfoliate once per week with a thorough
yet gentle exfoliating product.
Exfoliation is
Important in
Wintertime
As you lose your “summer glow,” the area under
the eyes can become darker. This can also
happen during fall and winter party season,
when you’re getting less sleep. Use an under-
eye cream to help eliminate dark circles.
The same eye cream that makes your eyes
bright and beautiful on winter mornings can help
ward off wrinkles later in life.
Never use the same moisturizer for your eye
area as for the rest of your face. Most products
are too harsh for use around the eyes unless
specifically marketed as an eye care cream.
Eye Care During Winter
Stress from holiday planning and budgeting can
trigger the production of hormones, which often
leads to nasty breakouts.
Using an acne lotion that helps control DHT (a
byproduct of the naturally-produced hormone
testosterone) is the only sure way to eliminate
breakouts.
Products that do not contain DHT usually work
only for a short time, because these acne
treatments do not control DHT, which medical
research has identified as the root
cause of acne.
Stress from visiting family
for the holidays, shopping,
taking semester finals, or
trying to meet year-end
goals at work can also trigger
acne attacks without a good
acne solution.
Acne Lotion is
Important Year-Round
Travel makes it harder to keep up with your skin
care regimen, but your skin is actually more
vulnerable now than it normally is. The excitement
of travel can cause stress, triggering acne.
A different diet and daily routine can also put
additional strain on your skin.
It’s okay to abbreviate your routine for a few days,
but it’s important to keep up with the basics.
The basics include:
A good cleanser
A quality toner
Daily sunscreen
Weekly exfoliation
