I don’t use one cleanser all year. When the weather changes, my skin changes, and my cleanser changes with it. It’s a small habit, but it’s one of the easiest ways I’ve found to keep my skin comfortable.
★ Why I switch cleansers with the seasons
In summer I sweat more, I swim, and I wear sunscreen every day. I want a cleanser that really clears all of that away. In autumn the air turns dry, and my skin starts to feel tight right after washing. That’s when I want something different.
★ Summer: mommy care Apple Cider Vinegar Cleanser
This is the cleanser I used all summer. It’s a fermented Korean cleanser with vitamins in it. It foams up nicely and lifts off sweat, sunscreen, and the day’s grime. After washing, my skin looks fresh and a little brighter.
I’m not linking it here because I can’t find it on Amazon, and I only link what I can actually point you to.
★ Autumn: ARENCIA Salicylic Acid, Green Tea + LHA Deep Pore Rice Cake Cleanser
When the seasons start to change, I switch to this one. I don’t need to double cleanse with it, and my skin doesn’t feel as tight after washing, which is exactly what I want as the air gets dry.
One honest note: it contains exfoliating acids (salicylic acid and LHA). That’s why I only use it in the cooler months and not every day. If your skin is sensitive or very dry, go slowly, and stop if it feels irritated.
★ How I decide when to switch
Here’s my simple rule. If my skin feels sweaty, oily, or covered with sunscreen all day, I stay with the summer cleanser. When my face starts to feel tight after washing, I move to the autumn one.
★ The takeaway
Your skin isn’t the same in July and October, so your cleanser doesn’t have to be either. Pay attention to how your face feels right after you wash it. That feeling tells you what it needs.
