As in nature, our facial and body skin varies and does not have the same needs depending on the seasons. Have you ever noticed that you lose your hair in the fall like trees that lose their leaves? Well, it's the same for your skin. Heat or cold, humidity or dry weather, sun, wind, brightness, all these elements of nature have a strong effect on our skin, mainly on our face which is the most exposed.
So how do we know the needs of our facial skin when the seasons change? How can we respond to them? How can we take care of it throughout the seasons and adapt our beauty habits and routines? How can we help our skin adapt quickly? Is it really useful to change our cosmetics during the year? Here are a few tips to help you see things more clearly...
2 things to consider:
External elements: the season
Every season, the skin is attacked by heat, cold, heating, air conditioning, the sun and many other factors that can be natural or mechanical.
Our skin adapts but sometimes we need to give it a helping hand!
In autumn, The skin is often tired from everything it has undergone in the summer. It needs to regain vitality, to be boosted. Cocooning is back, you have to take a little time to make masks.
In winter, The renewal of your skin cells is naturally slower. Redness may appear. You really need to help your metabolism and rich creams are essential to provide comfort and protection against external aggressions.

In spring, it's renewal. Your skin will be able to benefit from light again. To make the dead cells and impurities of winter disappear, it's time to do some scrubs!
Use the Mademoiselle Saint Germain scrub, it is sweet, fruity, and very effective.
In summer, at the same time the sun is good. We find a tanned complexion, a healthy glow, but like any pleasure, we must not abuse it! At the same time, protect our skin against the sun, but also against the effects of the sun and heat. To do this, use lighter, more airy creams, you will not shine at the first heat stroke.
LThe inner element: your skin type.
Swicks, combination, oily or normal? Nice little test to do...
At any age, it is important to know yourself to adapt your care. Depending on your skin type, the care ritual varies. Some tips for adopting a good beauty routine are essential.
With dry skin, and especially in winter, your skin will feel tight. Sometimes your skin may peel. You lack sebum. First of all, you need to drink more water. Good hydration is good for your skin. Summer and winter, do not hesitate to use a serum, especially at night, and make nourishing and moisturizing masks enriched with natural oil.

With oily skin, it's the opposite. Your skin produces too much sebum. Don't think that stripping your face with cleansers that are too strong will solve the problem. The skin will react even more by producing more sebum. You need to use a mattifying cream that will allow the skin to regulate its sebum production and rebalance the skin. In addition, exfoliation is an ally for oily skin. It helps unclog pores and refine its texture. A fine exfoliation is enough, no need to overdo it.
For combination skin, it's something else again. If you feel like you have oily skin on the T-zone of your face (forehead, nose and chin) while the rest of your face is even and matte, you have combination skin. As for cream, choose a cream for oily skin all over your face, avoiding the T-zone on which you can put a cream for oily skin. Use a moisturizer depending on the area of your face. Alternate your care between scrub and mask.
Finally, for normal skin, balanced skin, it is still necessary to protect and nourish it. Use light care whether for hydration, for exfoliation and for the mask.
How to take care of the skin on your face and body naturally?
You have the most motivated, who will prepare their own beauty treatments, but you still need to have the ingredients, suitable and organic active ingredients, and time!
For most of us, we have to trust cosmetic laboratories that are experts in their field. First, look for the percentages of naturalness on the packaging. A product with a high % of natural ingredients or of natural origin is a guarantee of quality. Beware of non-natural %. Organic is a plus, but not always. An organic product that will use ingredients from the 4 corners of the globe is not necessarily very respectful of the environment if we calculate the carbon footprint of its ingredients. Read the list of non-natural ingredients carefully. Some may be completely harmless, or on the contrary very toxic. A product rich in oils is very beneficial.
The best thing is to test your products in a pharmacy or in a store, or if you buy it online, read the reviews carefully. A natural product YES of course, but pleasure and effectiveness too!
