Satisfy Your Skin Cravings During Seasonal Changes

As the seasons change, so should your skincare routine. This isn't about following trends or the latest fashion on the runway; it's about understanding and responding to your skin's needs as they evolve with the seasons. Whether it's spring, summer, autumn, or winter, adapting your skincare regimen is essential for maintaining healthy, resilient skin.
Dealing with Unpredictable Skin Changes
Factors like stress, hormones, and health imbalances can cause unexpected skin changes year-round. For instance, those with dry skin might experience flakiness during winter or stressful periods, like moving house.
SPRING: Breakouts, Unpredictable Skin, Stressed Skin
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine. This season of renewal is ideal for booking an appointment with one of our skincare pros to outline your skincare goals for the year. The unpredictable weather can lead to unpredictable skin, so maintaining a consistent routine is crucial. For hayfever sufferers, spring can also bring a red, runny nose and irritated skin.
Key Ingredients:
- Peptides: Soothe and calm stressed skin, helping maintain a youthful, plump complexion despite weather fluctuations.
- SPF: Essential daily, as up to 40% of the sun's UV rays penetrate through clouds.
Spring Skin Swaps:
- Switch to a lighter moisturiser as the weather warms up. We recommend Hydralight, which contains sodium hyaluronate, aloe, niacinamide, and firming peptides.
- For stressed skin, use Alumiers Recovery Balm. It’s excellent for calming red, irritated skin, whether post-procedure or due to "spring-induced Rudolf syndrome."
SUMMER: Oily Skin, Sweat, Breakouts
Summer's warmer, humid weather can increase sweat and oil production, leading to breakouts. Consistent cleansing is vital, especially when travelling. Heavier winter moisturisers might feel too much, so opt for lighter serums and hydrators.
Key Ingredients:
- SPF: Critical for protecting your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
- Antioxidants: Shield skin from environmental damage, including free radicals from pollution and pollen.
Summer Skin Essentials:
- Be diligent with cleansing. Alumiers Clarifying Cleanser with salicylic acid and oligopeptide-10 helps exfoliate and clear pores.
- Choose the right sunscreen for your skin type. Alumier Sheer Hydration Broad Spectrum SPF 40 is a versatile, antioxidant-rich physical sunscreen suitable for almost all skin types. Shop all our SPF range here
AUTUMN: Dullness, Discoloration, Dehydration
Autumn is the time to address summer’s sun damage and prepare for winter dryness. Skin may look dull and uneven, and the drop in temperatures can emphasise fine lines and tightness. Reboot your routine to tackle post-summer issues and prevent winter dehydration.
Key Ingredients:
- Vitamin C: A brightening antioxidant that promotes collagen production and strengthens the skin barrier.
- Humectants: Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin draw moisture into the skin, preventing dehydration.
Autumn Skin Solutions:
- Apply Ultimate Boost Serum twice daily after cleansing for plumper, smoother skin.
- Use Bright & Clear Solution to refine skin texture and brighten your complexion.
- Indulge in at-home treatments like Alumiers Smooth & Hydrate Kit, which includes MicroDerm Polish and Aqua Infusion Mask to exfoliate, hydrate, and renew your skin. Or Omnilux Red Light Therapy mask to penetrate deep into the skins layers
WINTER: Dry Skin, Eczema, Redness
Winter’s cold weather and central heating can dry out your skin, exacerbating conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Combat dryness and irritation by keeping your environment moist and adjusting your skincare routine.
Key Ingredients:
- Emollients: Soften dry, rough skin by filling in cracks with lipids. Oils and butters are common emollients found in moisturisers.
- Humectants: Like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which help retain moisture in the skin.
Winter Skincare Must-Haves:
- Moisturize regularly with HydraRich, which contains shea butter, high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, and MATRIXYL®Synthe’6® for firming and strengthening ultra-dry skin.
