Every season comes with its share of skin care problems—be it dryness during winters, or oiliness during summer—which demands that we are proactive when it comes to our skin care regimen. “When the temperature and humidity change, you must transition your skin care routine in order to adapt to the weather shift. What suits you in winter might not fit once summer hits, as the amount of sun exposure varies from season to season, and that plays a vital role in customising the skin care regime. Pigmentation, ageing, and other factors that affect the tone and texture of the skin are highly influenced by temperature and humidity changes. Thus, your skin care requires dermatologically certified attention, starting with the very basics of using the right cleanser, sunscreen, moisturiser, and serum,” explains Dr. Karishma Kagodu, plastic surgeon, founder and managing director of Dr. Karishma`s Aesthetics.

Elaborating on the difference between a winter and summer skin care routine, she adds, “During winter, your skin requires more moisturiser when the temperature drops, and skin appears dull and dry without the adequate balance of a well Ph balanced moisturiser. Moreover, hot water showers and steam over-dry the skin and take away the skin moisture content, rapidly drying the skin and compromising the skin`s protective layer, resulting in skin itchiness or atopic rashes. Thus, thick moisturisers, soothing creams are essential components of a winter skin care regime. As summer approaches, you would want the same hydrated skin, but a few ingredients in your skin regime may need change. As the humidity levels and temperature rise, the sun exposure will also increase, which plays a role in skin pigmentation and ageing.”
