Beauty Tips To Help Survive The Seasons Transitioning

August 30, 2023

As September begins, daytime high temperatures remember summer’s warmth, yet a few weeks to months later are dramatically different. Mornings spent with a slight chill in the air soon require additional layers to prevent the cold. These transitions can happen over a few short weeks or extend through the months. 

As the weather warms and cools throughout the year, the humidity levels in the air fluctuate as well. If the humidity is low like what we experience in cold winter months, our skin’s moisture levels can drop rapidly which cause dry and dull skin. This is why rich moisturizers are must-have during the fall and winter season. Welcoming summer can be a bit different; we may notice an increase in oil production in our skin which makes it look shinier. This is the best time to have lightweight moisturizers and gel-based cleanser.

Most importantly, it will establish a firm foundation for future accomplishments.
