🍂 SKIN SCHOOL WITH DEE – Why I'm Changing My Cleanser for Autumn! 🧴
As the weather gets colder, I start making a few little changes to my skincare routine. And one of those changes is my cleanser!
For quite some time, I've been using Garnier's Rose Micellar Water, but I've recently switched to their Rose Soothing Cleansing Milk.
Why? Well, it's all about how my skin feels! 💚
During autumn and winter, colder temperatures, wind, lower humidity and central heating can all affect our skin. You might notice that your face feels a little tighter after cleansing, that you're experiencing dry patches, or that your skin is becoming more sensitive.
And that's when it can be worth looking at your cleanser.
Micellar water is a perfectly good cleanser, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with continuing to use it all year round if it suits your skin.
But I've decided to try something a little creamier as the weather changes.
A milk cleanser can feel more comfortable when skin is becoming drier, although the ingredients and formulation matter just as much as the texture.
🌿 The important thing to remember?
You don't necessarily need to change your entire skincare routine with the seasons. Sometimes one small adjustment is enough.
And you certainly don't need to change products just because the calendar says October!
Your skincare routine should work with your skin and what it needs right now.
I've put together five little Skin School slides explaining the differences between micellar water and milk cleansers, how to use them and what to look out for as the weather gets colder.
💬 I'd love to know — does your skin change during autumn and winter? Do you change your skincare routine, or keep everything the same?
