Transitioning

Your Skin Care

Routine for the

Change in

Seasons

Even though skin gets less sweaty

and oily during the fall and winter,

cleansing is still one of the most

important aspects of skin care.

Proper cleansing can prevent those

unsightly breakouts that tend to

spoil your holiday plans.

A good cleanser can be used just

once per day to control oils and

eliminate the bacteria that leads to

pimples forming.

Cleansing is a

Year-Round Deal

Cold air holds less humidity than warm

air, and indoor heating (including your car

heater) can sap even more moisture out

of the air.

Less environmental moisture means drier

skin, unless you use a good moisturizer

regularly.

A good moisturizer won’t feel oily on the

skin, but will add hydration that helps

prevent dry, flaky skin, and chapped lips.

Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water,

also helps keep skin hydrated during

colder weather. Even if you don’t feel as

thirsty as you do during hot weather, your

body still needs those fluids.

Don’t overdo it with the hot, caffeinated

beverages like coffee and hot cocoa.

Caffeine tends to dehydrate the body

instead of helping hydrate it. Alcohol is

also dehydrating, so follow up that dinner

cocktail with a refreshing glass of water.

Cooler Weather

Means More

Moisturizer

Toner is often overlooked, especially if you’re

trying to cut down on expenses or keep your

routine light and manageable in the mornings.

However, toner helps lower skin sensitivity,

which is most commonly a problem during

cold weather.

Toner also reduces pore size, meaning your

holiday makeup looks exceptionally smooth

and beautiful.

Toner helps reduce impurities on the skin.

Since indoor air quality is usually much more

polluted than outdoors, and you spend more

time indoors during the cold weather, toner

can be your secret weapon against impurities

in the air that lead to breakouts.

Keep using your toner when spring arrives for

a smoother, more vibrant complexion.

Toner is Your

Secret Weapon

Against Winter

Skin Impurities

A common mistake during fall and

winter is to stop using sunscreen and

products containing SPF. However, the

sun’s rays are just as damaging in fall

and winter, yet people don’t realize

how much sun they’re getting because

it doesn’t feel so hot and bright.

Sun rays are particularly hazardous in

snow, because the ultraviolet light is

reflected off the snow and back toward

your face.

Even minimal exposure to ultraviolet

rays during your daily commute,

walking the dog, or even getting the

mail can lead to premature wrinkles

and dangerous skin cancer.

Don’t Put Away

the Sunscreen

Most people wash their faces less

frequently as the weather cools

because there isn’t much need to wash

away sweat and oils.

Exfoliation is important in helping rid the

skin of old cells, so that new cells can

thrive. This becomes more important

when you’re washing your face less

frequently in cool weather.

Exfoliate once per week with a thorough

yet gentle exfoliating product.

Exfoliation is

Important in

Wintertime

As you lose your “summer glow,” the area under

the eyes can become darker. This can also

happen during fall and winter party season,

when you’re getting less sleep. Use an under-

eye cream to help eliminate dark circles.

The same eye cream that makes your eyes

bright and beautiful on winter mornings can help

ward off wrinkles later in life.

Never use the same moisturizer for your eye

area as for the rest of your face. Most products

are too harsh for use around the eyes unless

specifically marketed as an eye care cream.

Eye Care During Winter

Stress from holiday planning and budgeting can

trigger the production of hormones, which often

leads to nasty breakouts.

Using an acne lotion that helps control DHT (a

byproduct of the naturally-produced hormone

testosterone) is the only sure way to eliminate

breakouts.

Products that do not contain DHT usually work

only for a short time, because these acne

treatments do not control DHT, which medical

research has identified as the root

cause of acne.

Stress from visiting family

for the holidays, shopping,

taking semester finals, or

trying to meet year-end

goals at work can also trigger

acne attacks without a good

acne solution.

Acne Lotion is

Important Year-Round

Travel makes it harder to keep up with your skin

care regimen, but your skin is actually more

vulnerable now than it normally is. The excitement

of travel can cause stress, triggering acne.

A different diet and daily routine can also put

additional strain on your skin.

It’s okay to abbreviate your routine for a few days,

but it’s important to keep up with the basics.

The basics include:

A good cleanser

A quality toner

Daily sunscreen

Weekly exfoliation
