If your skin feels different in winter than it does in summer, you are not imagining it. Temperature, humidity, and time spent indoors all influence how skin feels day to day.
What to know
Colder air and indoor heating can leave skin feeling drier or tighter. Warmer, more humid weather may bring more shine or a feeling of heaviness.
These changes are normal, and they are a good reason to revisit your routine a few times a year.
A practical approach
As the weather cools, you might prefer a richer moisturizer or a gentler cleanser. In warmer months, lighter textures may feel more comfortable. Daily sun protection remains important all year round.
Make one adjustment at a time so you can notice what genuinely helps.
Keep it personal
Your skin’s needs are personal, and seasonal changes look different for everyone.
A seasonal check-in with your practitioner can help you adapt your routine without overcomplicating it.
