Transitioning skincare
through the seasons
Skincare expert and facialist Clemency Alice has a passion for beauty and organic
skincare. Recently travelling to Paris and Australia to further her knowledge, she
shares her secrets.
the tRAnSition from summer to
autumn can have a major impact on your
skin’s overall condition and appearance. if
the new season catches you unaware and
unprepared, your skin can become very
dry, extremely sensitive, lacklustre and
more susceptible to breakouts. This is due
to the change in oil flow – which was on
an all-time high during summer – and the
vitality of the ‘skin glow’ waning as cooler
temperatures plummet, constricting
blood vessels. here’s what you need to
know to ensure your skin stays prepped
and primped for the change of season.
PReSeRVe youR liPid BARRieR
if you remove this protective skin barrier
through more aggressive methods of overcleansing
and over-exfoliating, then the
skin cells aren’t prepared and your skin
becomes more vulnerable to the extreme
temperatures and external elements of
wind, sun and rain. A way to protect
and maintain hydration in your skin is
through spritzing your face after cleansing
with a floral facial mist then locking the
moisture in with your favourite facial oil
or moisturiser.
SwitCh moiStuRiSeRS
opt for a creamier, rich texture in
your moisturiser that has antioxidant,
super skin-boosting ingredients. Select
moisturisers that contain hyaluronic acid
(skin plumping and hydrating), vitamin
C (antioxidant and uV-protecting
properties), shea butter (moisturising
and protecting), and rose (softening,
anti-inflammatory, hydrating). And for
those with oilier skins, opt for a balancing
facial oil with lavender (restorative
and calming) and jojoba (balancing to
the acid mantle, protecting and antiinflammatory).
PRoteCt youR Skin
Just because summer is a distant dream,
keep applying a chemical-free SPF daily,
and opt for a seperate sun-care product
with a minimum of SPF30 rather than
relying on sun protection from your
foundation.
