Seasonal Skincare Routine: Summer vs. Winter

Just like you change your wardrobe with the seasons, your skin also needs different care depending on the time of year. At Belle Jeunesse, we help our patients adjust their routines to stay balanced, protected, and glowing all year long.

Summer Skincare Tips

1. Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable
   • UV exposure is stronger in summer. Daily use of mineral sunscreen (like Alastin SilkSHIELD® SPF 30 or HydraTint SPF 36) protects against sunburn, dark spots, and premature aging.
   • Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.
2. Lighten Up Your Moisturizer
   • Swap heavy creams for lightweight, oil-free hydrators.
   • Gel-based or antioxidant-rich serums are great for warm weather.
3. Protect Against Heat & Humidity
   • Heat can trigger redness, rosacea, and melasma.
   • Add antioxidants like Vitamin C to help neutralize free radicals.
4. Professional Treatments
   • HydraFacials, Epionce Refresh Facials, and light chemical peels help control summer buildup of oil and sunscreen.
   • IPL (Lumecca) is best saved for fall/winter when sun exposure is lower.

Winter Skincare Tips

1. Hydration, Hydration, Hydration
   • Cold weather and indoor heating strip moisture from skin.
   • Switch to richer moisturizers like Epionce Renewal Calming Cream or Intensive Nourishing Cream.
   • Add hyaluronic acid serums for extra hydration.
2. Gentle Cleansing
   • Use a mild, non-foaming cleanser to avoid dryness.
   • Avoid over-exfoliation, which can worsen irritation.
3. Repair & Resurface
   • Winter is the perfect time for corrective treatments like Morpheus8, IPL, and deeper chemical peels, since sun exposure is reduced.
   • These treatments boost collagen and reverse summer damage.
4. Don’t Forget Sunscreen
   • Yes, even in winter! UVA rays penetrate clouds and windows, contributing to aging year-round.

Year-Round Essentials

• Consistent sunscreen use, no matter the season.
• Professional facials and treatments tailored to your skin’s needs.
• Adjusting your home skincare routine as your environment changes.

At Belle Jeunesse, we create personalized skincare plans for every season of life and every season of the year.
