HOW TO ADAPT YOUR ROUTINE TO THE HUMIDITY AROUND YOU


When you travel, you need to adapt your hydration habits to the climate and environment you are in. But do you already do this in your daily life?

Depending on the change of season or the humidity in the country (or region) where you live or travel, your skin will not have the same needs. It is therefore necessary to adapt your routine to the humidity around you.

We break down for you the hydration needs of different skin types depending on humid or dry climates.

THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE ON THE SKIN


If you have oily skin and live in a humid climate, your morning routine will not be the same as if you stay in a dry climate. Please note that here we are talking exclusively about the morning routine.

A low level of humidity deprives the skin of hydration. It can therefore feel tight and become uncomfortable. When the skin is dry, signs of aging are more pronounced. Wrinkles and fine lines become deeper, and the skin appears less supple.

In more humid areas, the skin is more supple and hydrated. The complexion is generally more radiant. On the other hand, this can cause excessive sebum production and consequently acne.

ADAPTING YOUR ROUTINE TO YOUR SKIN TYPE


OILY SKIN AND A HUMID CLIMATE

If you have oily skin in a humid climate, you are the big winner. In fact, your skin will need almost nothing apart from, of course, your sun protection. Prepare your skin with a balancing toner. Vitamin C is the best antioxidant to protect your skin from external aggressors during the day and prevent sebum from oxidizing and creating blemishes. We therefore recommend adding Holi (C) - AGENT NATEUR to your toner. You can then apply your sun protection.

OILY SKIN AND A DRY CLIMATE

If you have oily skin in a dry environment, your skin will require a little more hydration. In fact, your skin will try to compensate for its environment by producing more sebum to stay hydrated. If it is properly hydrated from the morning onward, this overcompensation effect will fade and your skin will not look shiny during the day. You need a lightweight hydrating gel or a hydrating serum containing vitamin C (an ideal active ingredient for the morning) to apply after your toner, which will be enough to hydrate your skin underneath your sun protection.

DRY SKIN AND A HUMID CLIMATE

If you have dry skin in a humid climate, simply add a lightweight moisturizer before your SPF and after your toner and serum. You can use a day cream that contains sun protection.

DRY SKIN AND A DRY CLIMATE

If you have dry skin in a dry climate, this will unfortunately be the most demanding case because you need maximum hydration. You will then need to use a combination of a hydrating mist, a serum, a rich cream, and an SPF.

COMBINATION SKIN

You will need to treat your skin in both ways. In other words, both as dry skin and as oily skin. Combination skin tends to become oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks. So treat your T-zone like oily skin and your cheeks like dry skin.

NORMAL SKIN

For so-called “normal” skin, simply listen to what your skin needs. Some days you will need extra hydration and on others it will not be necessary. It is also possible that your T-zone may need to be treated differently each day. Stay attentive.
