Humidity, temperature and sunlight all change through the year, and your skin notices. A routine that worked in summer may feel too light in winter.
Signs it is time to adjust
- Tightness after cleansing
- More shine or breakouts than usual
- Flaky patches around the nose and mouth
- Products suddenly stinging
Warmer months
Switch to a gel cleanser and a lighter moisturiser. Keep sunscreen non-negotiable and reapply more often if you are outdoors.
Cooler months
Move to a cream cleanser and a richer moisturiser. Add a hydrating serum and a nourishing lip balm, and cut back on strong exfoliants.
Change one product at a time, and give each change a week or two before judging it.
