Skincare Fundamentals Across Different Seasons

Introduction
The skin’s needs change with the seasons, requiring different care strategies to maintain its health and beauty.

Summer Skincare

1. Hydration
   The skin needs lightweight moisturizers to stay hydrated without becoming too oily. Products containing hyaluronic acid are preferred.
2. Sun Protection
   Daily use of sunscreen is essential to protect the skin from UV rays (Gordon, M. A., et al., 2016).

Winter Skincare

1. Deep Moisturizing
   The skin requires rich, oil-based moisturizers to counteract dryness caused by cold air (Fowler, J. F., et al., 2014).
2. Using Acids
   Alpha hydroxy acids can be used for exfoliation and deep hydration.

Conclusion
Maintaining healthy skin requires season-specific strategies. By understanding the skin’s needs, a healthy and radiant appearance can be maintained throughout the year.
