Skincare by Season: How to Update Your Routine for Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring

Your skin doesn't stay the same year-round—and neither should your skincare routine. Like you update your wardrobe with the changing of the seasons, so does your skin require different types of care depending on the weather, humidity, and environmental conditions. That's why it's so important to update your skincare routine seasonally so that your complexion can remain healthy, balanced, and glowing all year long.

In this guide, we're breaking down how to manage your routine season by season, with tips on which products to pick up and how to care for your skin during each time of year. From battling oily summer skin to combating dry winter skin, we have the expert-tested tips to make you shine with confidence—no matter the weather.

                                                                                  

Summer: Light, Breathable, and Protective

Main concerns: Overpowering oil, clogged pores, sun damage

What Your Skin Needs: Hydration, oil control, and sun protection

In the summer heat and humidity, your skin's oil and sweat production increase, potentially leading to breakouts and congestion. Swap heavy creams with lightweight, gel-textured moisturizers or hydrating serums. Also, a gentle cleanser for removing sweat, sunscreen, and pollution deposits.

Don't skip a light SPF moisturizer in the morning to protect your skin from sun exposure—one of the top reasons for premature aging and hyperpigmentation.

Fall: Repair, Restore, and Renew

Top Concerns: Damage after summer, dehydration, dullness

What Your Skin Needs: Exfoliation, feeding, and moisture

When temperatures dip, your skin may become dry or patches may become irregular after months of sun exposure. This is the ideal time to introduce exfoliants again in your routine to remove dead skin cells and increase cell turnover. Use a gentle facial scrub or chemical exfoliant with AHAs.

Start layering over other moisturizing ingredients like antioxidant serums and hydrating toners to repair your skin's moisture barrier. A more emollient moisturizing cream will also aid in hydration as air becomes drier.

???? Make our restorative skincare essentials a part of your regimen, which are designed to help your skin recover from summer stress.

                                                                                  

                                                                                  

Winter: Intense Hydration and Barrier Protection

Most Concerned About: Dryness, flakiness, sensitivity

What Your Skin Needs: Intensive moisture, protection, and barrier repair

Low humidity, indoor warming, and cold temperatures all take their share of moisture loss during the winter. Time to double up on the water. Use a cream cleanser or water-based face wash that won't strip your skin, and layer on hyaluronic acid serums, heavy moisturizers, and facial oils to lock in moisture.

You’ll also want to add a hydrating mask once or twice a week to replenish your skin and soothe irritation. Don’t forget your lips and hands—they need extra love, too!

Spring: Refresh, Brighten, and Balance

Main Concerns: Seasonal breakouts, uneven tone, dullness

What Your Skin Needs: Detox, renewal, and hydration

As nature is waking up once again, your skin needs a reboot. Spring is the perfect time to gently detox and brighten your complexion. Switch back to a light moisturizer and use a brightening serum to help fade away any remaining dark spots or winter discoloration.

Even a clay mask can help bring out the impurities and prevent breakouts from the changing of the seasons. Keep it simple and balanced—hydration and consistency are key.

???? Our spring-fresh skincare line includes clarifying masks, light moisturizers, and brightening treatments.
