India, Nov. 10 -- A s the seasons shift, our skin can react in unexpected ways. Temperature swings, changes in humidity, and fluctuating weather conditions can disrupt the skin's natural balance, leading to dryness, oiliness, or breakouts. Understanding how these changes affect your skin is the first step to keeping it healthy year-round. A recent study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases found that about 62% of people experienced skin issues linked to environmental changes. When temperatures drop, your skin may struggle to maintain its natural barrier, which can lead to increased oil production, resulting in a shiny T-zone or more breakouts. Here are some simple tips to keep your skin healthy as the seasons shift: Use a face wash that cleans thoroughly without stripping your skin's natural oils. For oily skin, opt for a gentle gel or salicylic acid cleanser. For dry or sensitive skin, a sulfate-free cleanser will hydrate without irritation. Avoid over-cleansing, as it can worsen dryness and sensitivity. Hydration is essential for all skin types. Select lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturisers that add moisture without clogging pores. Dr Aseem Sharma, Dermatologist, tells Health Shots, "Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and electrolytes, as they help protect your skin barrier and give you a glowing complexion." Apply moisturiser while your skin is still slightly damp after washing to lock in hydration. Sunscreen is crucial year-round, not just in summer. "A good sunscreen can block about 98% of UVB rays, helping protect your skin from sun damage and premature ageing," says Dr Aseem. Your clothing can significantly impact skin health. Opt for breathable fabrics like cotton, which absorb moisture and reduce friction. Avoid tight clothing that traps sweat, as it can trigger acne and fungal infections. After workouts or sweating, change into dry clothes promptly to minimise skin issues....
