How to Manage Dry Skin Through the Seasons: Winter to Summer Care Tips

Dry skin doesn’t take a break when the seasons change. In fact, shifts in temperature, humidity, and environmental triggers can significantly impact skin that’s already prone to flakiness, cracking, and discomfort. Whether you’re managing ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris, or just chronically dry skin, adapting your skincare by season can make all the difference.

Winter: Combat Harsh Dryness & Cracking

Cold air and low humidity strip moisture from the skin, making winter the toughest season for dry skin sufferers. Indoor heating compounds the issue, leaving skin feeling tight, rough, and prone to cracking.

  • Hydrate deeply with humectants like Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate.
  • Use occlusives to lock in moisture (e.g., squalane or plant oils).
  • Apply moisturizer immediately after bathing while skin is damp.

Spring: Allergies and Skin Sensitivity

Spring brings pollen and environmental allergens, which can trigger flare-ups and increased irritation for sensitive, dry skin.

  • Switch to fragrance-free formulas to minimize allergic reactions.
  • Use soothing ingredients like Propolis and Beta-Glucan to calm skin.
  • Don’t reduce hydration just because it’s warmer—skin still loses moisture.

Summer: Dehydration and UV Damage

Heat and sun exposure can lead to dehydration, sunburn, and rough skin texture.

  • Choose a lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer to avoid stickiness.
  • Use SPF 30+ daily to prevent UV-induced skin barrier damage.
  • Replenish moisture after sun exposure with gentle, hydrating essences.

Fall: Transitioning Your Routine

As temperatures drop, the skin begins losing moisture again. Fall is the best time to strengthen your moisture barrier before winter.

  • Reintroduce richer emollients and barrier-supporting extracts like Panax Ginseng.
  • Gradually reduce exfoliation to prevent over-sensitizing the skin.
  • Adjust your routine weekly based on humidity levels and skin feel.
