Seasonal skincare strategies for spring and summer

Seasonal changes impact skincare needs, requiring different approaches for spring and summer. In spring, those with dry skin may benefit from 'skinimalism'—a minimal routine consisting of a cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen to avoid aggravating the skin with excessive products.

During summer, the buildup of dead skin cells, oil, and pollution due to heat and humidity makes exfoliation important. However, using chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid increases UV sensitivity. To prevent pigmentation issues, exfoliants should be applied in the evening, followed by moisturizer, and paired with mandatory, consistent use of broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning.
