About Seasonal Skin Changes

Adjust your skincare routine for winter dryness, summer humidity, and seasonal transitions. Year-round barrier maintenance at IVONNE.

Frequently Asked Questions

In winter, switch to richer moisturizers and gentle cleansers as cold air and indoor heating strip moisture from the skin. In summer, lighter formulations and more frequent SPF reapplication are essential. During spring and fall transitions, gradually introduce or reduce active ingredients. Your IVONNE provider can help you plan seasonal adjustments to your regimen.

Winter combines cold outdoor air with low humidity and dry indoor heating, dramatically increasing transepidermal water loss. This weakens the skin barrier, leading to dryness, flaking, increased sensitivity, and potential flare-ups of conditions like eczema and rosacea. Barrier-support products with ceramides and hyaluronic acid help counteract winter dryness.

High humidity can increase oil production and lead to congestion and breakouts, while low humidity strips moisture from the skin and compromises barrier function. The ideal approach is to adjust your moisturizer weight and cleansing routine based on seasonal humidity levels, maintaining barrier integrity regardless of weather conditions.
