New Delhi: Season shifts bring along big changes in many aspects of our lives, from mental to changes in our daily habits and our bodies as well. Skin can also vary greatly depending on pollution levels, weather, and skin type. With the cold and dry weather taking over, skin can really suffer and break out, get flaky, and dry. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, which helps protect you from environmental stressors, regulate your body temperature, and maintain overall health. Neglecting your skin can lead to acne, premature aging, and a dull complexion. So, a daily skincare routine is your way of ensuring that your skin stays healthy, youthful, and radiant throughout the year.

Why is skincare important

• Cleansing removes dirt, excess oil, and impurities from your skin, preventing clogged pores and acne breakouts.
• Hydrating and moisturizing keeps your skin nourished and moisturized, preventing dryness, flakiness, and fine lines.
• Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, promotes cell turnover, and reveals a fresh, glowing complexion.
• Protecting your skin with sunscreen can shield it from UV damage and nourish it with antioxidants.
• As you age, your skin needs extra care to maintain its elasticity and firmness. Specialized products can help combat fine lines and wrinkles.

Morning Skincare routine for changing weather

1. Cleanser: Begin by cleansing your face with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser to remove any impurities that accumulate while you sleep.

2. Toners: Apply a soothing and hydrating toner to balance your skin’s pH and prepare it to absorb the upcoming products. A Pure Rose Water Mist or a Hydrating Mist with rose and Aloe Vera can be your go-to toner, as they can effectively work together to keep your skin hydrated and soothed for longer hours. This can be a versatile addition to the skincare routine for men and women.

3. Serums: Choose a serum containing antioxidants, like vitamin C, to protect your skin from environmental damage and boost collagen production.

4. Moisturizer: Apply a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dryness throughout the day.

5. Sunscreen: Never skip sunscreen! Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Night skincare routine for changing weather

1. Makeup Remover/Cleansing Oil: If you wear makeup, remove it with a makeup remover or a cleansing oil. This is a very important step for your night skincare routine.

2. Cleanser: Follow up with a cleanser to wash away any remaining impurities and ensure your pores are clean.

3. Toner: Use the same toner as in your morning skincare routine to restore your skin’s pH balance.

5. Moisturiser: Use a slightly thicker, hydrating night cream to nourish and repair your skin.

Follow these lifestyle tips to ensure healthy skin:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

Healthy Diet: Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, to nourish your skin.

A glowing skincare routine is your ticket to healthy, radiant skin. A consistent skincare routine and adapting it to the changing seasons can help you maintain your skin’s vitality and radiance. Beautiful skin is a reflection of your commitment to self-care, so make it a priority in your daily life.
