As the seasons change so does your skin

Your skin routine might change throughout the year, depending on the climate outside. So how do you find the right skin routine?

The Swedish brand C/O Gerd has made three different skin routines – for normal to dry skin, unbalanced skin and mature dry skin types. The simplicity of the skin routine makes it easy to navigate and you will easily obtain great results.

As the air gets colder during winter and warmer during spring the amount of moisture your skin will need changes. I It’s important to remember to adjust your skin routine to the season, maybe just by adding facial oil or a moisturizing facial mask to your routine during winter. The needs of your skin change and it’s important to stay in tune and notice the small changes.

So depending on your skin type, there are different ways to adjust your skin routine.

For normal to dry skin types, you can use the essentials as your skin routine all year round . And the small changes you could make during the changing seasons could be to add intensive care steps as needed. The intensive care part of this skin routine is the addition of the face serum and the facial mask.

The serum is perfect to use as soon as you feel that your skin is slightly drier than normal. The serum should be used during night time and you use it on clean dry skin. Gently massage it into the dry areas for the perfect overnight skin boost.

The facial mask is even more intense than the serum and when your skin feels completely dried out, this is when the facial mask is the perfect way to go. It can be used in different ways depending on how dry your skin is. For the slightly less intense version, all you do is apply the facial mask on dry clean skin, leave for 10 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. For a more intensive moisture boost apply the facial mask on dry clean skin, leave for 10 minutes and gently massage the facial mask into the skin and leave it overnight. Your skin will then have the entire night to get that moisture boost which will do wonders for you.

An unbalanced skin can be a nightmare in periods of transition from summer to winter and from winter to summer. An unbalanced skin can be many different types of skin: it could be skin with impurities, skin with an overproduction of oil or just a wonderful mix of everything.

The serum is perfect to use when those impurities are about to break out or when the oil production in the skin is going haywire. It will help balance and prevent the impurities from developing. The serum also adds moisture to the skin and prevents areas of the skin to dry out. It should be used during night time on clean skin. Gently massage it into the dry areas for the perfect overnight skin boost.

The facial scrub can help prevent impurities. Use it once or twice a week in the difficult transition periods to help keep your skin balanced.

For mature and dry skin types, you can use the essentials as your skin routine all year round. The small changes you could make during the changing seasons could be to add intensive care steps as needed. The intensive care part of this skin routine is the addition of the face serum and the facial mask.

A mature dry skin can have a tendency to go ultra dry during the winter and is in special need of extra attention during this time. If your skin is dry,  it can often appear older and wrinkles might set, so the best way to prevent this is by caring for your skin and giving it the attention it deserves.

The serum serves as the perfect moisture and skin boost during the early winter. So autumn is the perfect time to start up and prepare your skin for winter. Just apply to clean dry skin in the evening and gently massage it into the skin. On days that are colder and when the skin feels like it is almost cracking, you should use the facial mask. Gently apply it in the evening and leave it on for 10 minutes, then gently massage the facial mask into the skin before you go to sleep. Your skin will then have the whole night to soak up the moisture from the facial mask and be hydrated for the day ahead.
