Dermatologists advise recalibrating skin care routines as summer ends
New York-based experts say beauty routines should shift from dewy formulas to reparative products as humidity drops.
Moisturizer needs increase for dry air
Dr. Antony Nakhla states that the skin barrier faces stress when humidity levels fall. She recommends reintroducing richer moisturizers if lighter formulas were used during the summer months.
Retinoids return after sun sensitivity
The dermatologist explains it is the right moment to consistently reintroduce retinoids if they were paused due to sun exposure. Samantha Susca warns against making a complete overhaul of the routine at once.
Minor adjustments start the switch
Facialist Susca suggests starting with gentle exfoliation or acids used more frequently and gently. This approach allows for increasing the richness of the moisturizer without sudden changes.
