As we alternate between our seasonal wardrobe, it’s time we do the same with our beauty and skincare.
Naturally, our skin reacts differently according to the environment we're in. In the cooler weather, we would require more hydration due to our skin drying out. Whereas in summer, the heat rays are stronger causing our skin to potentially burn if not taken care of. Therefore, ensuring we protect it from damage we require higher concentrations of SPF in our sunscreen.
Same thing applies with makeup. We reach for deeper and cooler shades in the winter, however in summer we rather the brighter and warmer tones. Which makes it almost inevitable to update your beauty and skincare products based on the seasons. It seems like the logical thing to do. Do you not agree?
