Seasonal transitions aren’t just about switching your wardrobe—they’re about supporting your skin through changes in temperature, humidity, and light exposure. From chilly winds and dry indoor heat to sun-soaked afternoons and blooming allergens, each shift can affect your glow, hydration, and overall skin’s behavior. That’s why it’s so important to adjust your skincare habits and products to meet your skin’s changing needs.

Not sure where to start? I got you. Here are three easy ways to help your skin stay balanced, nourished, and protected as the seasons change:

#1 - Swap Your Cleanser Based on the Season

Think of your cleanser as your skin’s first line of defense. In warmer months, a gel or foaming cleanser is ideal for sweat and oil control. As the weather cools down or gets drier, which to a cream or milky cleanser that supports your skin’s barrier and adds moisture.

💡Pro Tip: If your skin feels tight or dry after washing, it’s time to change cleansers!

#2 - Layer Hydration Like You Layer Clothes

Start with a hydrating toner or essence to prep the skin. Follow with a water-based serum like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Seal it in with a moisturizer that matches the season—light gel for warm weather, rich cream for cold weather.

💡Pro Tip: Apply your serums on slightly damp skin for better absorption and long-lasting hydration.

#3 - SPF is a Year-Round Non-Negotiable

Even on cloudy or cooler days, UVA rays still contribute to aging skin and causing long-term skin damage that can be remedied with SPF. Therefore, SPF is an essential no matter the season.

💡Pro Tip: Look for a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ that you actually enjoy applying. That way, you’ll never forget it!

Bonus Tip: Listen to Your Skin. If your skin starts to act out during a seasonal transition—extra dryness, breakouts, or sensitivity—it’s okay to simplify. Sometimes less is more while your skin recalibrates. All you need is a good basic cleanser, targeted treatment serum, nourishing moisturizer, and an SPF!
