There is a widespread belief that with the change of season, you need to completely change your skincare regimen. Progressive cosmetologists do not agree with this approach:
\even products with retinol and acids can be adapted for use in the warm season if your skin feels bad without them. But there is one type of product that in the spring begins to require great care, the rest of the time, the owners of oily skin use it without any problems.
The increase in the number of sunny days and the rising index of ultraviolet light dictate standard recommendations: most likely, the cosmetologist will be skeptical about the idea of doing deep peeling or mesotherapy so as not to provoke the appearance of age spots, especially if you are prone to hyperpigmentation.
And in any case, you must use sunscreen to go out, even if your care does not include acids or retinoids. It is advised to apply it not only on the face, but also on the ears and neck, and for fair-skinned people – also in the parting! By the way, it is worth using a cream with SPF both in autumn and winter, but you can choose a smaller number of protection. For the warm season, products with an SPF of 30 or more are optimal.
How does ultraviolet light affect different skin types?
In the spring, both in nature and in the skin, all processes are activated, and the owners of oily and mixed skin begin to feel changes literally in a matter of days. And here is the catch: matting products can turn into enemies of the skin. By narrowing the pores, they do not allow them to get rid of excess sebum on their own. Pores get clogged, and skin dries out. The result is pronounced comedones and severe rashes. Does your skin get oilier with the onset of heat?
Beauticians advise: noticing an increase in the amount of sebum, do not grab a tube of matting agent, and do not rush to use it several times a day – this is a vicious circle. An integrated approach to care will help to avoid oily sheen (do not skip the steps of skin cleansing and do not forget that even oily skin needs nutrition and hydration, including in spring and summer). In a couple of weeks, the skin adapts to new seasonal conditions – and the peak of sebum production will pass.
