No, you’re not imagining things—your skin is behaving differently! As the seasons shift, your body’s needs change, and it’s completely normal to adjust your routine accordingly. This guide will help you stay in sync with nature, making simple yet impactful changes to keep your skin, hair, and scalp balanced year-round.
Winter: Hydration is Key
Cold air and indoor heating can strip moisture from your skin and scalp, often leading to dryness and decreased oil production. You may find yourself cleansing less frequently and reaching for more hydrating cleansers, masks, and treatments to replenish moisture.
Spring: A Time for Renewal
As temperatures rise, so does humidity—bringing with it increased sweat, oil production, and allergens. This seasonal shift may call for cleansing more often to remove excess oil, sweat, and environmental debris without disrupting your skin and scalp’s natural barrier.
The extra moisture in the air can actually work in your favor, helping to maintain hydration. This makes spring an ideal time to transition to lighter, more clarifying products. Exfoliation is also beneficial during this time, as it helps slough off dead skin cells accumulated during winter, paving the way for healthier skin and hair. We love mixing Suna by Reverie with shampoo for a gentle exfoliation, paired with the Soft Buff Shampoo Brush for an invigorating scalp massage.
Sun Protection & Seasonal Sensitivities
With longer days and more time outdoors, sun protection becomes essential. Wearing a hat not only shields your scalp and hair from UV damage but also helps preserve your hair color. And don’t forget your skin—SPF is non-negotiable! One of our favorites is Forah's non-toxic sunscreen, offering clean protection without harmful chemicals.
Spring also brings increased exposure to pollen and environmental allergens, which can trigger sensitivities like dandruff, eczema, or scalp irritation. Choosing soothing, hypoallergenic formulas can make a big difference. Some of our go-to products include:
Super Water by Cult and King – A gentle, hydrating mist for sensitive skin
Cake by Reverie – A nourishing balm to calm irritation
Green Envee cleansers – Tailored to your sikn type for a gentle yet effective cleanse
Supporting your body’s natural detox pathways can also help combat allergens. Moving lymphatic fluid with a gua sha stone and incorporating herbs like yarrow and nettles can boost your body’s ability to process and fight off seasonal irritants.
Stay in Sync with the Seasons
Adapting your routine with the seasons ensures that your skin, scalp, and hair stay balanced, healthy, and thriving. By making small, intentional shifts—like adjusting your cleansing habits, switching up your products, and prioritizing sun protection—you can flow effortlessly with nature’s rhythm while feeling your best all year long.
