Skin care during the change of seasons

1. I washed my face briefly with lukewarm water and used a mildly acidic cleanser. I found that washing my face until it felt squeaky clean actually made my skin drier.

2. I made sure to apply moisturizer within 3 minutes of showering. Using a moisturizer containing ceramide or hyaluronic acid definitely soothed my skin well.

3. Managing indoor humidity was also important. I noticed my skin felt less tight after using a humidifier or placing a wet towel.

Products containing soothing ingredients like aloe vera gel and chamomile extract are fine, but personally, I felt that how often and thoroughly you apply them is more important than specific ingredients.
