When the cold stresses your skin – get back to the basics
Clean up. Moisturize. Use sunscreen. These three steps are the very core of every skincare routine and exactly what your skin needs when it's out of balance.
I love to do everything during the summer - exfoliate, apply masks, use active ingredients and follow long routines with my favorite products from Future. It's great, but far from necessary. The beauty of Future is that even a few steps can produce an incredibly powerful result.
We love the little extras in our routines (read: retinol, acids, active ingredients, and 10-step routines), but sometimes skin needs a break. It is incredibly smart and has a natural ability to repair itself – if we just let it. If your skin feels stressed, overexfoliated, or just plain unpredictable, it's time to simplify.
Prioritize building a strong and healthy skin barrier again. Focus on the most important things: gentle cleansing, proper moisturizing and good sun protection. Everything else can wait.
