Seasonal skincare

Depending on your skin type, the products that help your skin survive the colder months might not work as well during the summer. "I always recommend that as the seasons change you re-assess your skincare regime accordingly," says Geraldine Howard, president and co-founder of Aromatherapy Associates. "For instance, the harsh winter months are draining and as a result skin requires a more deeply nourishing layering of rich oils and creams to keep it hydrated and smooth. As the skin-friendly warmer weather moves in, lighter products generally provide enough nourishment to ensure a healthy complexion. Serums are particularly perfect for this time of year - they are fantastic at getting actives into the deeper layers of the skin without being too heavy."
