Posted on February 1, 2024<\/em> Written by: 100% PURE\u00ae<\/em><\/p>\n Spoiler alert: your skin care routine that\u2019s been signed, sealed and delivered isn\u2019t a year-round deal. As the sender, let\u2019s just say Mother Nature has a lot to do with that. Just like this queen of weather has you switching out your wardrobes each season, you should be changing up your skin care routine to match \u2013 in order to better protect your complexion against the elements.<\/p>\n The good news is that all your seasonal products don\u2019t have to become a return to sender. With a few minor adjustments to your routine, you\u2019ll be welcoming any new season with open arms.<\/p>\n We\u2019re sharing how to customize your routine to target specific skin care concerns depending on the time of year, and which vitamins and nutrients can aid in repair after each season ends.<\/p>\n While the seasons have their perks (some more than others) changes in climate and weather can wreak havoc on your skin. Whether you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, your dermis can be affected by seasonal changes in the weather, especially with harsh winter conditions or blistering summer sun.<\/p>\n What\u2019s the best way to halt the multiple causes of damage from weatherly woes, while promoting repair from the past season? By using concentrated potencies of the vitamins and nutrients we\u2019re about to introduce, you can help target skin that\u2019s experiencing SAD from seasonal changes.<\/p>\n SPRING Research shows that adding a concentrated potency of Coenzyme CoQ10 can be beneficial for repair in your skin care routine. Loss of moisture and inadequate defenses can be a side effect of the elements, and CoQ10 can help! To summarize its effects, research suggests<\/a> that \u201capplying CoQ10 directly to the skin can reduce the damage from internal and external agents by increasing energy production in skin cells and promoting antioxidant protection.\u201d<\/p>\n Aside from swapping out your heavier winter products for lighter formulas, you\u2019ll need to introduce anti-inflammatory products that will help to reduce skin redness, itchiness, and inflammation from pesky allergies.<\/p>\n Our Argan Oil Creamy Cleanser<\/a> is infused with skin-soothing CoQ10 and nourishing antioxidants. This creamy-gel formula gently cleanses and calms skin without stripping it of essential moisture. Combine it with our Coffee Bean Eye Cream<\/a> to soothe puffy eyes and an allergy-inflicted eye area.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n SUMMER If your skin is still affected by sun damage in the form of dark spots and freckles, a worthy skin care adversary is retinol. This vitamin A derivative is not only an antiaging all-star, it\u2019s great at fading dark spots and repairing photo-damage.<\/p>\n Skin is best at rest for repairing itself, which is why our Retinol Restorative Overnight Balm<\/a> is ideal for your beauty sleep. This nighttime formulation features a potent powerhouse of retinol by using vegan retinol and beta carotene, which support balanced tone and a more luminous complexion.<\/p>\n FALL While summer brings humidity to moisturize skin and bolster the skin barrier, fall brings cooler weather and lower humidity. This means dry air \u2013 and even drier skin. The best nutrient to repair summertime sun damage and promote healthy hydration is vitamin C.<\/p>\n Vitamin C is great<\/a> at boosting glow and dewiness, while retaining moisture as temperatures drop and winds rise during the fall. To keep skin looking radiant long after summer ends, our Fermented Rice Water Serum<\/a> can help even skin tone and lessen the appearance of dark spots.<\/p>\n Since your skin is best able to rejuvenate itself in the evening, our Brightening Serum<\/a> is a PM formula that uses gentle fruit acids to resurface dull skin<\/a> and reveal a gorgeous, glowing complexion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n for more blog updates and exclusive discounts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n WINTER The good news is you can nip those winter blues in the bud with heavier formulas, especially those featuring vitamin E. As one of the most popular vitamins for skin, this antioxidant is extremely nourishing and combats nearly all wintery ravages on your skin.<\/p>\n Since your eyes are one of the most regularly exposed areas during the winter months, our Super Fruit Oil Nourishing Eye Cream<\/a> can help to soothe and moisturize your eyes. Powerful antioxidants and reparative vitamin E can also help to lessen the appearance of lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n
Spring showers bring beautiful flowers \u2013 but lots of pollen! This cross-pollinating powder gets kicked around by wind and spares no mercy on allergies. Pair that with unrelated seasonal allergies and the weather finally warming up, trouble could be in store for your skin.<\/p>\n
Though summer brings half-day Fridays and long weekends at the beach or pool, there IS a downside to this seemingly perfect season: UV damage! Since there\u2019s no such thing as a healthy sunburn, you\u2019ll want to slather on SPF<\/a> \u2013 and reapply it regularly \u2013 to protect your skin from UV damage and its associated skin symptoms.<\/p>\n
The scarf-and-boot season is the perfect time to swap out lightweight summer products for more moisturizing alternatives. But even with its near-perfect temps, autumn still isn\u2019t fall-proof when it comes to skin.<\/p>\nNewsletter Subscribe<\/span>

These brisk and brutal months are when moisture and hydration become your skin\u2019s closest allies. With blustery winds and lower levels of humidity in the air, your skin is prone to dryness, flakiness, and itching. Add elements like stuffy indoor heating and fireplaces and the cold months can create absolute havoc on your skin.<\/p>\n
