Did you know your skin’s needs can change drastically from season to season? What works in the winter may not work so well in the summer—especially if you have dry or oily skin. Rising temperatures, increased humidity, and more time outdoors can all affect how your skin looks, feels, and behaves. At our dermatology practice, we help patients adjust their routines for the season so they can enjoy clear, comfortable skin all summer long.
If You Have Dry Skin…
Dry skin in summer is more common than you might think. While humidity levels are higher, things like sun exposure, salt water, chlorine, and air conditioning can all strip moisture from your skin, leaving it feeling tight or flaky.
Tips for dry skin this summer:
- Use a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
- Avoid over-exfoliating. This can damage your skin barrier and make dryness worse.
