Seasonal Care: What Does Your Skin Need?
Share
Do you notice your skin or hair acting differently when the seasons change? That's perfectly normal. Temperature, humidity, and sunlight directly affect how your skin and hair feel. What worked well in the summer can suddenly be insufficient in the winter—and vice versa.
In this blog, we explain what happens during seasonal changes and how you can gradually adjust your care accordingly, without changing everything at once.
Why does your skin react to seasonal changes?
Your skin is a living organ that constantly responds to its environment. As the seasons change, you may notice:
• your skin feels drier or oilier
• you experience redness or tightness more quickly
• your hair becomes less shiny or dries out faster
This doesn't mean your skin has "problems," but that it needs other support.

From summer to autumn/winter: more protection
In colder months your skin often has to deal with:
• dry air
• wind and cold
• hot showers
This can strain the skin barrier. Gentle cleansing and better care then become extra important.
What many people find pleasant during this period:
• Argan oil as daily care
• Cactus fig seed oil for additional nutritional needs
• Gentle cleansing with ghassoul

From winter to spring/summer: lighter and fresher
When temperatures rise and the air becomes more humid, the skin can:
• shine faster
• react more sensitively to heat
• need a lighter routine
Then it is often nice to:
• keep cleaning gentle but effective
• use oil more sparingly
• focus on freshness and balance
For example:
• Make-up remover with rose water & argan oil
• Cleanse occasionally with ghassoul
• Less, but more targeted care
Exfoliate in moderation during seasonal changes
During seasonal changes, skin can be extra sensitive. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, but do so gently.
• Do not use black soap with argan oil too often
• Scrub with the Kessa glove a maximum of 1x per week
• Listen to how your skin feels afterwards

Don't forget your hair and scalp
Your hair also reacts to seasonal changes:
• winter → drier points
• summer → more sun, salt or chlorine
What helps:
• Argan oil in the hair ends
• Ghassoul as a mild cleanser for a sensitive scalp
• wash more gently, not too often
Small adjustments make the difference
You don't have to overhaul your entire routine with every change of season. Often, this is enough:
• use slightly more or less product
• one extra care moment per week
• occasionally evaluate how your skin feels

Keep listening to your skin
There's no fixed "seasonal routine" that works for everyone. By being mindful and making small adjustments, you can naturally support your skin and hair —all year round.
