Why Your Skin Reacts First When the Seasons Change

When the seasons change, my skin seems to be the first to signal. Especially in winter or during the transitional seasons, even products that normally work fine can suddenly feel harsh. I used to reach for new products every time, but these days, I'm choosing to use them less frequently. I focus on moisturizing, but I also try to reduce the amount of heavy formulas, and aim to keep my skin feeling soft and not tight. I also try to exfoliate sparingly and keep it minimal. Skin is extremely sensitive to changes in the external environment, and if I ignore it and continue the same routine, my condition can actually worsen. I've recently noticed that simply adjusting the intensity of my skincare regimen to suit the season significantly reduces skin stress.
