Four Seasons of Glow: Nurturing Your Skin All Year Long

Skin care is vital across all seasons due to varying environmental conditions that impact skin health. Each season presents unique challenges: winter’s dryness, summer’s intense UV rays, spring’s allergens, and autumn’s fluctuating temperatures can all affect the skin’s barrier function and hydration levels.

A consistent skincare routine adapted to these changes helps protect the skin, maintain its health, and prevent issues like dryness, oiliness, and sensitivity. Regular care ensures the skin remains balanced, resilient, and vibrant year-round, highlighting the importance of tailored skincare strategies for each season.

In the winter season, skin care becomes paramount to prevent dryness and ensure hydration. Dr. Aishwarya Devraj, a specialist in Dermatology at Manipal Hospitals, Palam Vihar, Gurugram, recommends adopting a skincare routine that includes a rich moisturizer, a mild cleanser, and lip balm to avoid dry, chapped lips. She stresses the necessity of using a hydrating serum for additional moisture and the importance of sunscreen to protect against winter sun damage. Dr. Aishwarya also advocates for drinking sufficient water to hydrate the skin from within, offering a holistic approach to winter skincare.
