Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the changing seasons of nature bring about changes in everything, and similarly, our skin undergoes subtle changes with the transition of seasons.

During the transitional days between seasons, the skin is prone to various issues: roughness, excessive oiliness, dull complexion, sagging, and fatigue.

These are closely related to changes in the internal environment of the skin. We shouldn't underestimate the changes in our skin's internal environment nor let beauty quietly fade away with the changing seasons.

1. Spring

Spring is the season when the skin is most prone to allergies. In early spring, when there's a significant temperature difference between day and night, the sebaceous gland secretion function of the skin is still low, and the sudden temperature changes make it difficult for the skin to adapt.

Moreover, as the seasons change and the weather becomes warmer, skin problems such as acne, redness, itching, and peeling may occur. In terms of diet, we should consume foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin B2, and fresh fruits and vegetables while avoiding or reducing the intake of foods that may trigger spring dermatitis, such as snails, shepherd's purse, rape, spinach, etc.

Maintain a regular lifestyle, try to go to bed, wake up early, and drink plenty of water. Use mild exfoliating products to accelerate blood circulation, help remove aging keratin attached to the skin's surface, and make the skin radiant and bright.

2. Summer

To prevent damage from sunlight, apply sunscreen and wear a sun hat when going out. Due to ample sunlight, the radiation from ultraviolet rays increases, leading to vigorous secretion of melanin granules in the skin's granular layer, accelerated production of melanocytes, and pigmentation.

Therefore, women, especially those with pigmentation, must avoid excessive sun exposure. Additionally, women's resistance is weaker after skincare routines in summer, so they should avoid working or exercising in the sun. While keeping the skin hydrated in summer is essential, full skincare routines should not be too frequent.

3. Autumn

In autumn, the air becomes significantly drier, leading to a tight and uncomfortable feeling on exposed skin.

Due to the dry weather, moisture loss is most likely to occur, resulting in symptoms of "dehydration" in the stratum corneum, making the skin dry and rough and even developing dehydration wrinkles. Therefore, autumn requires special attention to moisturizing and hydration.

4. Winter

Winter's cold and dry weather requires keeping warm and exercising to enhance blood circulation. Additionally, winter is crucial for skincare in all seasons, with the highest demands on skincare products.

Skincare products synthesized from various animal and plant essences such as aloe vera, avocado, shark liver, and fish oil are commonly used in winter. These products focus on moisturizing and replenishing oils, but consideration should be given to whether the skin can absorb them. Since skin cracking is typical in winter, moisturizing is essential to skin care.

The best way to moisturize is to drink plenty of water and eat more fruits. Apart from external hydration, it's also necessary to drink enough water to prevent skin dryness due to internal dehydration. The recommended daily water intake is 6-8 cups, and also consume more carrots, spinach, and other foods rich in vitamin A, as vitamin A protects the skin and prevents dryness.

Each season has different skincare focuses. Understanding the skincare priorities of each season, we should not randomly treat our skin.
