How to Adjust Your Routine for Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer
Our skin’s needs change with the seasons, and adapting your skincare routine accordingly can help keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing all year round. At CREABO, we understand that each season brings its own set of challenges, from dry winter air to the hot, humid days of summer. Let’s explore how to adjust your skincare routine for each season to ensure your skin gets the care it deserves.
Fall: Repair and Rehydrate
As the weather cools and the air becomes crisper, your skin may begin to feel drier and more sensitive. Fall is the perfect time to repair any summer sun damage and prep your skin for the colder months ahead.
- Exfoliate Gently: Start by sloughing away dead skin cells with a gentle exfoliant. Our coffee and vanilla scrubs not only exfoliate but also hydrate, leaving your skin smooth and soft.
-
- Switch to a Richer Moisturizer: As humidity decreases, your skin needs extra moisture. Swap your lightweight summer moisturizer for a richer, creamier formula like CREABO’s body butters made with nourishing coconut butter and shea butter to lock in hydration.
- Add a Serum: Incorporate a hydrating serum packed with antioxidants to help your skin recover from summer sun exposure and protect it from environmental stressors.
Winter: Protect and Nourish
Winter can be particularly harsh on the skin, with cold temperatures, low humidity, and indoor heating all contributing to dryness and irritation. Your winter skincare routine should focus on deep hydration and protection.
- Double Up on Moisture: Use a thick, nourishing moisturizer both day and night to combat dryness. Ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter are perfect for creating a protective barrier on the skin.
- Don’t Skip Sunscreen: Even though it’s cold, the sun’s UV rays can still damage your skin. Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF to protect against winter sun exposure.
- Hydrate from Within: Drink plenty of water and consider adding a humidifier to your home to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to maintain your skin’s natural oils and avoid further dryness.
Spring: Refresh and Renew
Spring is all about renewal, and it’s the perfect time to revitalize your skincare routine. As the weather warms up, focus on refreshing your skin and preparing it for sunnier days.
- Lighten Up Your Moisturizer: As the temperatures rise, switch to a lighter, hydrating lotion or gel-based moisturizer that won’t feel heavy on your skin.
- Brighten with Vitamin C: Incorporate products that contain Vitamin C to help brighten dull winter skin and fade any lingering dark spots or pigmentation from sun exposure.
- Exfoliate Regularly: Keep your skin looking fresh by exfoliating 2-3 times a week. CREABO’s scrubs with natural exfoliants like coffee grounds are perfect for sloughing off dead skin without being too harsh.
- Prepare for Allergy Season: If you experience seasonal allergies, your skin may be more sensitive. Opt for gentle, fragrance-free products to avoid irritation.
Summer: Hydrate and Protect
Summer brings heat, humidity, and more time spent outdoors, which can lead to increased oil production, sweat, and sun exposure. Your summer skincare should focus on hydration and sun protection.
- Sunscreen is a Must: Sunscreen is your best friend during the summer months. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 daily, and reapply every two hours if you’re spending time outdoors.
- Lightweight Hydration: Choose lightweight, oil-free moisturizers that won’t clog your pores. Aloe vera and hyaluronic acid are great ingredients for keeping skin hydrated without feeling greasy.
- Stay Matte: Use a gentle toner to control excess oil and minimize shine. Look for toners with natural astringents like witch hazel or green tea.
- Soothe Sun-Exposed Skin: After a day in the sun, treat your skin to soothing products with ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile to calm redness and irritation.
Year-Round Essentials: Consistent Care
While each season requires some adjustments to your routine, there are a few essentials that remain constant throughout the year:
- Cleanse: Keep your skin clean with a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type.
- Hydrate: Moisturize regularly, adjusting the texture and richness of your products based on seasonal needs.
- Protect: Always apply sunscreen, regardless of the season, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
- Listen to Your Skin: Pay attention to how your skin feels and reacts to changes in weather, and adjust your routine accordingly.
