Skincare Tips For The Changing Seasons

Choose a Gentle Cleanser and Moisturise Daily: Select a sulfate-free cleanser enriched with glycerin and aloe vera to remove dirt without stripping moisture. Use lukewarm water to prevent irritation and support your skin’s natural barrier. To moisturize, use a cream or a lotion that includes hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and niacinamide.

Exfoliate and Boost With Vitamin C Serum: Exfoliate once or twice a week with a mild chemical exfoliant like glycolic or lactic acid. This helps remove dead cells and smooth skin texture without causing irritation. Use a vitamin C serum (10–20% concentration) for skin brightening. (Image Source: Canva)

Apply Sunscreen Everyday: Even on cloudy days, protect your skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and at least SPF 30. Cream-based sunscreens offer extra nourishment when skin feels dry. Reapply every two hours when outdoors. (Image Source: Canva)

Advanced Treatments for Intense Hydration: Consider non-invasive treatments like bio remodeling. Profhilo, a bio remodeling procedure uses ultrapure hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and improve skin elasticity. It also helps the skin produce more collagen and elastin, making it firmer and smoother. (Image Source: Canva)

Strengthen Your Barrier: Your skin’s barrier is its first line of defense against harsh weather and pollutants. To boost your barrier, look for products that contain ceramides, peptides, cholesterol, and essential fatty acids like linoleic acid. They will protect the skin from environmental stressors and promote a healthier, more balanced complexion. (Image Source: Canva)
