When the air changes between morning and evening, I catch myself checking my skin in the mirror. That is usually when I want to search for new products, but this time I decided to write down my skin signals before changing anything.
In changing seasons, the key is to check your skin's signals before you change your products.
🌡️ Changing seasons: the signals your skin sends
In changing seasons, temperature and humidity swing up and down, so skin condition can easily swing with them. Signals differ from person to person, but here are the five I pay attention to.
Tightness
A tight feeling after washing
Flaking
Days when skin looks duller and flakier than usual
Makeup lifting
Days when makeup lifts or clumps
Oil changes
Oil showing up in the afternoon differently than usual
Product strangeness
Moments when a product you always use feels unusually stinging or unfamiliar
🧮 After you see the signals
In changing seasons, check your skin's signals before you change your products.
Add a new product right away
Add one more moisturizing step
Seeing a signal does not mean you have to add products right away. Starting by shortening your wash time a little, or adding one more moisturizing step, may be enough. Skin is different for everyone, so adjust slowly based on your own notes.
📝 How to keep a log
The way to check is not complicated. About 30 seconds after washing, write one line about how your skin feels, morning and evening. Even a week of notes starts to show which signals come up at which times of day.
Observe signals → adjust one step → observe again
That said, if redness lasts a long time, you feel heat, or you notice changes that look like wounds or inflammation, do not try to handle it alone. Please consult a professional.
