Seasonal transitions can cause significant changes to the skin. Especially during shifts from summer to winter or winter to summer, it becomes difficult for the skin to maintain its natural balance. During these periods, the skin may struggle to adapt to sudden environmental and weather changes.
Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu shares key insights on skin health as hot weather gives way to cold and rainy days.
Moisturizing is critically important
During seasonal transitions, cleansing and moisturizing are crucial for maintaining the skin’s natural balance. In summer, it is essential to cleanse the skin of accumulated dirt, sweat, and oil caused by sun exposure. In winter, low humidity and cold air can dry out the skin. Therefore, it is important to use appropriate cleansing products to deeply clean the skin and follow up with moisturizers to keep the skin adequately hydrated.
Regularly exfoliate your skin
Peeling helps remove dead cells from the upper layer of the skin, promoting a brighter and healthier appearance. During seasonal changes, the skin should be renewed by eliminating accumulated dead cells. Chemical or physical peeling methods can contribute to skin cleansing and rejuvenation. However, the frequency and type of peeling should be determined according to skin type.
Continue using sunscreen
During seasonal transitions, it is important to use protective products against skin issues caused by external conditions. In summer, broad-spectrum sunscreens should be used to protect against harmful UV rays. In winter, it is essential to protect the skin against wind and cold. For this, moisturizing and nourishing products should be preferred.
Don’t neglect nutrition and water intake
Skin health is also affected by internal factors. Adequate water intake and a balanced diet play an important role in maintaining skin vitality and elasticity. Consuming foods rich in vitamins and minerals can help keep the skin healthy. Especially antioxidants like vitamin C and E support skin protection.
You can seek expert treatments
In some cases, professional treatments may be necessary to maintain and improve skin health. Various treatments can be applied to address skin problems during seasonal changes.
Skin renewal and correction of pigmentation issues can be achieved. Laser treatments can reduce sun damage, blemishes, and fine lines. Deep peeling procedures can remove dead cells from the upper skin layer and support skin regeneration.
