Skin Condition Care Routine for the Changing Seasons

It seems like my skin is the first to notice and scream when the seasons change. That is why I completely switch my basic skincare routine to focus on moisturizing whenever the transition period arrives. While I usually used a light lotion, now I mix in a drop or two of a highly moisturizing facial oil. Even during the cleansing step, I try to minimize moisture loss by using a mild, pH-balanced gel cleanser instead of a cleansing foam that leaves a squeaky clean feeling. Another important factor is controlling indoor humidity; I found that simply turning on a humidifier and drinking water more frequently than usual was a huge help in combating internal dryness.
