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 find yourself in. But do you already do this in your daily life?

Depending on the season or the humidity of the country (or region) where you live or travel, your skin's needs will vary. It's therefore essential to adapt your routine to the humidity levels around you.

We detail for you the hydration needs of different skin types according to 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 differ from that of someone living in a dry climate. Note that we are referring exclusively to morning routines here!

Low humidity deprives the skin of moisture, causing it to feel tight and uncomfortable. When skin is dry, the 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 brighter. However, this can lead to excessive sebum production and consequently acne.

ADAPT YOUR ROUTINE TO YOUR SKIN TYPE

OILY SKIN AND HUMID CLIMATE


If you have oily skin in a humid climate, you're in luck! Your skin will need almost nothing besides, of course, your sunscreen! Prepare your skin with a balancing toner. Vitamin C is the best antioxidant for protecting your skin from external aggressors during the day and preventing sebum from oxidizing and causing blemishes. We therefore recommend adding Holi (C) - AGENT NATEUR to your toner. You can then apply your sunscreen.

OILY SKIN AND DRY CLIMATE


If you have oily skin in a dry environment, your skin will need a little more hydration. This is because your skin will try to compensate for the environment by producing more sebum to stay moisturized. If it's properly hydrated in the morning, this overcompensation will subside, and you won't have shiny skin throughout the day. You need a light hydrating gel or a hydrating serum containing vitamin C (an ideal ingredient for the morning!) to apply after your toner, which will be enough to hydrate your skin, under your sunscreen.

DRY SKIN AND HUMID CLIMATE


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

DRY SKIN AND DRY CLIMATE


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


COMBINATION SKIN


You'll need to treat your skin in both ways: as both dry and oily skin. Combination skin tends to be oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks, so treat your T-zone as oily skin and your cheeks as dry skin.

NORMAL SKIN


For so-called "normal" skin, simply listen to your skin's needs. Some days you'll need extra hydration, and other days it won't. It's also possible that your T-zone will need different treatment each day. Pay attention.
