"My skin feels so different when seasons change!"
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
As temperatures drop, your skin faces new challenges – especially after 45.
Let's explore what's really happening and how to maintain your glow year-round.

Listen to Your Skin
Your skin sends clear signals when seasons shift:
- Tightness after cleansing
- Increased sensitivity
- More visible fine lines
- Makeup not sitting quite right
These aren't just annoyances – they're your skin asking for help.
The Hidden Moisture Battle
Think of your skin's moisture like a cup of water outdoors:
In summer: The cup stays relatively full
In winter: The water evaporates faster
Your skin after 45 faces this same challenge, but with an added twist – its natural ability to retain moisture has decreased.
This makes seasonal transitions even more crucial.
Smart Switches for Seasonal Success
Instead of overhauling your entire routine, focus on strategic changes:
Morning Adjustments:
- Summer cleanser
- Creamy cleanser light moisturizer
- Rich moisturizer regular SPF
- SPF + extra moisture
Evening Updates:
- Quick cleanse
- Double cleanse light serum
- 3% hyaluronic acid serum basic moisture
- Layered hydration
The Power Player: Hydration
Here's where concentration matters.
While many products contain 1-2% hyaluronic acid, research shows that a 3% concentration provides superior hydration – exactly what your skin needs during seasonal changes.
Beyond Products: Environmental Support
Your skin doesn't just need different products; it needs different protection:
- Run a humidifier while sleeping
- Lower water temperature when cleansing
- Protect skin from harsh winds
- Allow extra time for products to absorb
Real Talk: What Actually Works
Rather than trying everything, focus on proven solutions:
- Deep hydration with optimal concentrations
- Barrier support
- Consistent protection
The Derm™ Difference
Our 3% Hyaluronic Acid Serum bridges the gap between seasons. Its higher concentration provides the extra hydration your skin craves, while its quick-absorbing formula makes it perfect for layering as your routine adapts.
Your Action Plan
Morning:
- Gentle cleanse
- 3% HA serum on damp skin
- Rich moisturizer
- SPF protection
Evening:
- Thorough cleanse
- 3% HA serum

Remember: Seasonal changes don't have to mean skin challenges.
With the right approach and products, your skin can stay radiant year-round.
