As the seasons change, so does your skin. From the harsh dryness of winter to the humidity of summer, each season brings unique challenges that require adjustments to your skincare routine.
In this post, we'll explore how to update your skincare routine to match the shifting seasons. Let's dive into how you can keep your skin at its best with Eminence Organics, no matter the time of year.
How Do Seasonal Changes Affect The Skin?
Seasonal changes can significantly impact your skin's health and appearance, with winter's cold air and indoor heating causing dryness, flakiness, and irritation, while summer's heat and humidity lead to excess oil production, clogged pores, and increased breakouts. The sun's stronger UV rays in summer also accelerate aging and heighten hyperpigmentation risks.
Transitional periods like spring and fall bring their own challenges, as your skin adjusts to fluctuating temperatures and humidity, potentially causing uneven texture, sensitivity, and breakouts. Understanding these seasonal effects and adjusting your skincare routine accordingly is essential for maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion year-round.
Common Changes To The Skin & How to Fix Them
Summer to Fall
As temperatures cool and humidity decreases, your skin may begin to feel drier and tighter, with a potential increase in rough texture. The reduced sunlight exposure can also lead to a duller complexion, making your skin appear less vibrant.
- Switch to a Hydrating Cleanser: Replace your lightweight summer cleanser with a more hydrating formula to prevent dryness as temperatures drop.
- Incorporate a Richer Moisturizer: Transition to a thicker moisturizer to lock in moisture and protect your skin from cooler, drier air.
- Add a Gentle Exfoliant: Use a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother texture as your skin adjusts to the seasonal change.
- Introduce a Nourishing Serum: Include a serum with hydrating and antioxidant properties to strengthen your skin's barrier and combat environmental stressors.
- Continue Using SPF: Even in fall, UV rays can cause damage, so keep using a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from sun exposure.

Fall to Winter
The cold air and indoor heating during winter can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, flakiness, and increased sensitivity. You may also notice a heightened tendency for redness and irritation as your skin's barrier weakens.
