Beauty routine for the new season: how to prepare your skin for the change in weather

Every change of season brings with it new demands on the skin. Changing temperatures, sudden temperature fluctuations, wind, increased or reduced sun exposure, humidity and changes in lifestyle can affect the skin’s balance, leaving it more dehydrated, dull, sensitive or prone to blemishes.

For this reason, the arrival of a new season is the ideal time to review your beauty routine and adapt it to the needs of your face and body. It’s not about completely overhauling your routine, but about choosing targeted steps, suitable textures and effective active ingredients capable of supporting your skin through the seasonal transition.

Why your skin changes with the seasons

The skin is a dynamic organ, constantly exposed to the external environment. When weather conditions change, the skin barrier can also react differently.

During seasonal transitions, the following may occur:

a feeling of tightness;
superficial dehydration;
loss of radiance;
a less even complexion;
increased sensitivity;
localised blemishes or shine;
dryness on the hands, body and feet.

These signs indicate that your skin needs a more balanced skincare routine, one that gently cleanses, deeply moisturises, protects and restores balance.

Step 1: gentle yet effective cleansing

The first step in any beauty routine is cleansing. As the seasons change, it is important to avoid products that are too harsh, as these could disrupt the skin’s hydrolipidic film and increase feelings of dryness or sensitivity.

Proper cleansing should remove impurities, excess sebum, make-up residue and environmental particles, whilst respecting the skin’s natural balance.

For the face, it is advisable to choose gentle cleansers and rebalancing toners suited to your skin type. Combination or blemish-prone skin can benefit from purifying formulas, whilst more sensitive or dehydrated skin requires softer, more comforting textures.

Step 2: Controlled exfoliation to renew the skin

The change of season is also the ideal time to promote skin renewal. Exfoliation helps to remove dead surface cells, improving the skin’s radiance and making subsequent treatments more effective.

However, it is important not to overdo it. Exfoliating too frequently or too aggressively can weaken the skin’s barrier, especially at times when the skin is already under environmental stress.

We recommend exfoliating once or twice a week, choosing products suited to your skin type and alternating this with moisturising and soothing treatments.

Step 3: Deep moisturising for the face and body

Moisturising is one of the key elements of a seasonal beauty routine. Even when the skin does not appear dry, it can still be dehydrated: a condition that manifests as dull, less supple and more marked skin.

To maintain the skin’s moisture levels, it is helpful to choose formulas containing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, urea, betaine, allantoin and substances with humectant and emollient properties.

The MAVEX Hydra Booster range is designed precisely to meet this need: it helps keep the skin hydrated, soft and more comfortable thanks to formulations designed to promote deep and long-lasting hydration.

For the face, a moisturiser or an intensive mask can be invaluable allies when the skin looks particularly tired. For the body, on the other hand, it is important to apply a nourishing cream regularly, especially after a shower, when the skin is most receptive.

Step 4: Targeted treatments for specific needs

Every skin type has different needs. Your beauty routine for the new season should therefore include specific products tailored to your individual needs.

If your skin looks dull or uneven, it is worth focusing on radiance and skin tone. Ranges designed to treat discolouration, such as MAVEX’s White Perfection, can support a targeted routine to combat dark spots and an uneven complexion.

For combination, blemish-prone or impure skin, it is important to maintain a rebalancing and purifying routine, whilst avoiding formulas that are too stripping. In this case, the MAVEX Sebo Balance range can be incorporated into a specific regimen to help improve the appearance of impure skin.

For mature skin or those seeking a more advanced anti-ageing treatment, the new season can be an opportunity to introduce high-performance cosmetic actives, such as those found in the ranges dedicated to firmness, radiance and skin quality.

Step 5: don’t forget your hands, feet and dry areas

Your seasonal beauty routine isn’t just about your face. Your hands, feet, elbows, heels and particularly dry areas need constant care.

Your hands, which are often exposed to detergents, sudden changes in temperature and external factors, can look dry, chapped or rough. Applying a specific cream daily helps keep the skin softer and better protected.

Feet also deserve regular care. After months during which they may have been neglected or, conversely, after periods of greater exposure, it is important to use emollient, smoothing and nourishing products to keep the skin smooth and comfortable.

Step 6: Daily protection

Whatever the season, protection remains an essential step. Every day, the skin is exposed to UV rays, oxidative stress, pollution and environmental factors that can contribute to dehydration, loss of radiance and premature skin ageing.

Incorporating protective and antioxidant products into your daily routine helps to preserve the skin’s quality over time. During periods of increased sun exposure, it is important to use adequate sun protection and apply it correctly.

How to create the ideal beauty routine

An effective routine doesn’t have to be complicated. Consistency is more important than the number of products used.

A well-structured seasonal routine might follow this pattern:

Morning

Gentle cleansing, toner or balancing treatment, specific serum or cream, moisturising and sun protection.

Evening

Thorough cleansing, targeted treatment, nourishing or regenerating cream.

Once or twice a week

Gentle exfoliation and a moisturising, purifying or brightening mask, depending on your skin’s needs.

Body

Daily moisturising after a shower, paying particular attention to hands, feet and drier areas.
