Four-Season Skin Care: Change Your Skincare Routine as the Seasons Change

Four-Season Skin Care

Change Your Skincare Routine as the Seasons Change

Hello.

I am Tae-oh Park, director of 릴리브의원,

where we pursue natural-looking changes.

The skin does not remain

in the same condition throughout the year.

In spring, fine dust and pollen;

in summer, strong UV rays and enlarged pores and sebum;

in fall, daily temperature fluctuations and dryness;

and in winter, cold winds and indoor heating

all expose the skin to different types of irritation depending on the season.

Rather than using the same cosmetics

throughout all four seasons,

slightly adjusting your care routine to suit each season

can help maintain

a healthy skin barrier.

Today, we will look at seasonal changes in the skin

and easy care methods

you can practice at home.

Seasonal skin care—remember these key points!

① Spring: Soothing and Skin Barrier Care

→ This is the time of year when

the skin can easily become sensitive

due to fine dust and pollen.

Gently remove impurities

with a mild cleanser,

and using ingredients that support the skin barrier,

such as ceramides or panthenol,

may be helpful.

Always use sunscreen

before going outside,

and after returning home,

thoroughly wash away pollutants

remaining on the skin.

② Summer: UV and Sebum Care

→ As temperatures rise,

sebum and sweat production increase,

which can make pores appear larger

and make breakouts more likely.

However, reducing moisturization

can cause the skin to produce even more sebum,

so it is best to maintain the skin’s moisture balance

with lightweight hydrating products.

Apply a sufficient amount of sunscreen,

and during extended outdoor activities,

reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours.

③ Fall: Hydration and Exfoliation Care

→ Skin that has received a lot of UV exposure

during the summer

begins to show more noticeable dryness from fall onward.

If your skin feels rough

or your makeup starts to look flaky,

it is time to strengthen moisturization.

Use a moisturizer containing

ceramides or hyaluronic acid,

and combine it with gentle exfoliation

about once a week.

This may help maintain the skin’s texture.

④ Winter: Moisturization and Forming a Protective Moisture Barrier

→ Winter is the season when

skin moisture is most likely

to escape.

Apply plenty of moisturizer immediately after cleansing,

and if needed, use a cream or oil as well

to reduce moisture loss.

Using a humidifier indoors

and avoiding the habit of taking long showers

with excessively hot water

can help maintain the skin barrier.

Skin Care Habits Needed Throughout All Four Seasons

Although the seasons change,

the basic principles do not differ greatly.

• Use sunscreen every day

• Choose a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type

• Maintain the skin barrier with sufficient moisturization

• Manage your sleep, fluid intake, and balanced eating habits

• Adjust the products you use flexibly according to your skin’s condition

The skin is an organ

that responds sensitively to environmental changes.

If your skin has recently felt dull and dry

or become more sensitive,

before changing your products,

it is a good idea to first consider

how the current season and your living environment

are affecting your skin.

Simply following care practices suited to each season

may help keep the skin barrier stable

and prevent breakouts and photoaging.

Thank you. This was Director Park.
