Another Thanksgiving has come and gone. Winter has arrived. OK, maybe not officially, but it's colder and drier outside, and my skin is feeling it. There comes a time every Fall, when after washing my face with my usual cleanser* for Combination/Oily Skin, that my skin feels tight and dry, instead of just clean. That's when I know it's time to switch to Normal/Dry for the Winter. My Combination/Oily products hibernate for the winter, not to be seen again until Spring, except for the odd warm-weather vacation.
In addition, I lock it all in with Extra Emollient Night Cream on my face & neck. Hands and feet, too! It's wonderful stuff.
If you are over 30 or are past the point of full-fledged breakouts, switch formulas during the coldest months of the year. Your skin will tell you when it's time for the switch. Keep a tube of Clear Proof Acne Treatment Gel handy, to banish the occasional blemish.
Also consider your foundation shade at this time. Your skin, even if you're not a sun-worshipper, will usually be at least one shade lighter in the winter. To see if your foundation is the correct shade, get yourself under some indirect daylight, and see if your foundation is the same color as your neck. This is the goal, ladies! If not, it's time to go to your winter shade. Contact me to be matched or to get some samples.
Keep your skin properly moisturized, & have a wonderful holiday season!
*Timewise 3-in-1 Cleanser
