As the earth shifts and the light changes, so too does your skin. From spring’s budding warmth to the full blaze of summer, your skin must adapt to fluctuating temperatures, humidity levels, and UV exposure. But what does that actually look like - and how can you support your skin through it?
Let’s explore what happens beneath the surface and which ingredients help your skin thrive during seasonal transitions, especially from spring to summer.
Why Does My Skin Change with the Seasons?
Your skin is a living, responsive organ. As temperatures rise, the sebaceous (oil-producing) glands tend to become more active. Combine this with an increase in sweat, sunscreen usage, and longer daylight hours, and your skin is suddenly facing a new climate - both inside and out.
Humidity can soften the skin’s surface while simultaneously increasing the chance of clogged pores. UV rays become stronger, often triggering hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and inflammation. Skin may also feel oilier but still lack water content - a confusing combination.
In short: seasonal skin changes are completely natural, but your routine should shift in response.
Should I Change My Skincare Routine with the Seasons?
Yes - but not completely. The key is not to overhaul, but to evolve. Just as you wouldn’t wear a winter coat in July, your skincare should match the needs of the moment. Think lighter textures, deeper cleansing, and ingredients that support your skin’s barrier during environmental stress.
- Focus on hydration, not just moisture.
- Balance oil production.
- Introduce gentle exfoliation.
- Prioritise products that soothe, protect, and restore.
What Ingredients Are Best for Warmer Weather?
Certain ingredients shine during the transition from spring to summer:
Silver Hydrosol – Naturally purifying and anti-inflammatory, it calms reactive skin and supports skin exposed to UV and pollution.
DNA HP (polynucleotide derived from salmon sperm) – A powerhouse hydrator that binds water 10 times more effectively than Hyaluronic acid and aids in cellular regeneration.
Argan Oil – Lightweight yet nourishing; ideal for balancing sebum without clogging pores.
Chaga Mushroom - Chaga is one of the most antioxidant-rich mushrooms; it helps calm the skin and neutralise oxidative stress while supporting the natural immune response.
Vitamin E – A powerful antioxidant that supports UV recovery.
Kukui & Abyssinian Oils – Quick-absorbing oils rich in fatty acids, perfect for radiance without residue.
Copper Hydrosol - Supports collagen synthesis and plays a vital role in skin regeneration, both of which are challenged by UV exposure.
What Are the Signs My Skin Is Reacting to Seasonal Change?
- Breakouts in new areas (often cheeks or jawline).
- Feeling oily but dehydrated.
- Rough texture or increased sensitivity.
- Redness or dullness after sun exposure.
These signs mean your skin is adjusting - and you can support it by simplifying your routine and introducing skin-soothing, regenerative formulas.
