Time to ditch the heavy winter looks and put on a glowy face. Whether you’re dealing with dry and sensitive, oily and acne-prone, or mature, we’ll show you how to set up your face for success.
We’re always excited for a change of season. It gives us the perfect excuse to hit the reset button, shift our routines and indulge in the latest trends. So first of course, you may be asking yourself “do I really need to change my current regiment?” Short answer – absolutely.
CLEAN UP YOUR CLEANSING ROUTINE
It’s no secret that winter cleansing routines usually includes keeping on top of dried out skin. Skin cells die faster in colder weather, which makes exfoliation a top priority in keeping your skin looking fresh. But because your body doesn’t produce as many skin cells (skin cell turnover is lower in winter), heavier moisturization is needed to keep those fewer skin cells as healthy and hydrated as possible.
Simply put, this is what makes your S/S cleansing routine so different from your winter. Skin cells grow much faster in warmer weather. That plus the body producing higher oil content (sebum and sweat in your pores) means your exfoliation should be more rigorous, while your moisturizing should be more balanced against that higher oil production.
