Each season, you clean out your closet & make the appropriate wardrobe changes. You even change around what ingredients you add to meals or beverages throughout the season, so why donât you switch out your skincare products or makeup routines seasonally, too?Â
Though some might not realize it, using the same skincare routine year-round isnât ideal; products are designed to manage varying temperatures, humidity levels and even the outdoor elements! The same goes for cosmetics. Makeup colors and formulas vary throughout the year to give you the coverage you want in an assortment of seasonally desired shades. If you havenât been changing your skincare or makeup routines throughout the year, these tips can get you started.
Gentle cleansing
When the skin is more supple and hydrated in the summer months, a deep-cleansing solution is ideal to wash away buildup, such as sunscreen and microscopic particles in the atmosphere, and leave skin feeling fresh and clean. I highly recommend one of our cleansers (selection depends on skin type) and our Detoxifying Face Mask.
Moisturizing must-haves
Lightweight moisturizers are always key in warmer months; they provide a good amount of hydration without being too thick. Time spent in air conditioned or heated buildings year-round also affects skin and causes it to dry out, so consider your home or work environment when selecting a skincare product.
Changing colors
Match your cosmetic palette to the overall colors found throughout each season; while brighter and more vibrant hues are essential in summer, bold and jeweled tones are best in winter and throughout the holidays. The makeup you select should also complement your skin, hair and eye tones. A good way to get out of the winter blues and welcome spring is to find bronzers, blushes, and lip glosses to warm up your skin. My favorite is our Beachfront Bronzer topped with our Lucrative Lip Gloss in Luxe.
Self Tanning
Get yourself ahead of the game by using a sunless tanner to get you ready for spring.I use our Beachfront Self Tanning Spray. This self tanner is by far the best! Even application without that oompaloompa orange look.
