I always switch over certain products when the seasons change. For the summer, I have to use an oil free moisturizer to combat my combination skin type, as well lay off an heavy concealers in my makeup routine. When the colder temperatures start in, I switch my moisturizer to protect the natural oils in my skin (always have SPF in your daytime moisturizer!) I also switch my cleanser. I use a salicylic acid based cleanser through summer/fall and then for winter/spring, I used a seaweed based cleanser with rosewater. This way it's still cleaning my skin and killing bacteria but it isn't drying out my skin during the rough, cold months. And I maintain regular exfoliation and I get facial treatments every 4 to 8 weeks.

For daytime in the winter/fall, I just mainly use a gentle cleanser like cetaphil, or more often than not cliniques gentle cleanser, and a heavier mositurizer due to the dryness of the winter and retinol topical gel that I use causing my skin to peel and become flakey. In the summer/spring months I use cliniques oily skin cleanser and a lighter moisturizer like cliniques moisturizng gel to keep the oil at bay. I always use SPF of some sort whether its in my moisturizer or tinted moisturizer/foundation.

I live in So. Cal so we don't really get much of a change in weather, I mean, we do but we don't get the same extremes as people in other areas of the country so I basically keep my routine the same. I use ProActive because I still battle acne and then I change up my moisturizer for warm/cold weather. In warmer months I'll use my ProActive one mixed with Clean & Clear's Dual Action Moisturizer (the first for the SPF and the second for the salicylic acid treatment), but in colder months I'll use my ProActive moisturizer or Origin's VitiaZing because I like the tint it adds, even beneath my foundation. I am already pale enough but in the colder months I can get pretty ghostly so that little extra tint really helps me out.

Before bed I wash my face with NARS balancing foam cleanser. Also, I made my own toner with 1/2 lemon juice & 1/2 extra virgin olive oil that I spray on after cleansing. I use the toner in the morning as well. I found that it really helps my skin stay moisturized since there isn't much moisture in the air when I gets colder outside.

@Shavon I like that toner idea! Thanks for sharing!

lately I've been using Neutrogena Alcohol free toner and has worked really well for me...
I need to see how it goes on the cold weather though and thanx for sharing all that guys <3

@Cameron thanks hun! I like to keep it as natural as I can when caring for my face. Plus I practically use olive oil for everything! Lol
