Because the elements of weather all year round can have very harsh effects on your skin. But following proper skin care year round is actually pretty simple if you know how. Here are some basic tips to keep in mind for each of the seasons.

Spring

As the weather is starting to warm up, many people are excited to be go outside and enjoy some time in the sun. Since your skin has become used to the colder weather and not as much sun it is very important that you remember to apply some form of sunscreen. And since in warmer weather you can get away with wearing foundations that are a little bit lighter and not as thick as in the winter, you might want to try a foundation that has SPF mixed in with it already.

Summer

The most important thing while going into the months of summer is to make to always avoid getting sunburned. When spending a lot of time out in the sun without wearing some form of skin protecting agent you are only taking chances of permanently damaging your skin and speeding up the aging process. If you are one of the many people that like being tan, but don’t want your skin sustaining the permanent damage the sun and its harmful rays then try out one of the many new spray tans available. Another very important thing to do during summer is exfoliating. It removes dry dull looking skin while also opening up your pores to allow it to breathe easier during the hotter weather.

Fall

During the cooling down of the weather and preparing for winter it is very important that you are remembering to increase your consumption of water, and even herbal tea, to make sure your skin is moisturized and ready for the cold, harsh weather about to come. The majority of your facial skin care routine should be built around this aspect. Also try to avoid taking long, hot baths or showers, although this may be tempting as the weather is starting to get cold, this only drys out your skin even more. If you insist on enjoying either of these anyways then dry adding a small amount jojoba or sweet almond oil to the water, use moisturizing body washes and to refrain from using any products that are high in alcohol content.

Winter

During the winter months of the year it is the most important thing to make sure your skin is very moisturized. You should always apply a moisturizer at least half an hour before going outside to help protect it against the cold windy weather. You might also want to consider switching to an oil based moisturizer as part of your facial skin care routine. The more oil your product contains the more it help prevent damage from the elements. The cold wind combined with artificial heating inside is an awful combination that will lead to dry, even cracked skin.

Adjusting your facial skin care products to suit each season of the year will keep your skin looking great throughout the entire year. Just always take into consideration how your skin changes with the weather.
