Skincare Tips for Singapore’s Unique Seasons

Although we may not experience winter or snow in Singapore during this time of year, it’s important to recognize that the weather differs from what it was in April or May. We are still affected by the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, albeit in a unique way. During this period, you might notice variations such as more frequent rain, stronger sunlight in certain months, or increased wind in specific areas.

So, how can we maintain our skin condition and health this season?

Skincare Tips and Routines for This Season:

a) Regular Moisturizing: Choose natural, organic products rather than those based heavily on chemicals.

b) Frequency of Moisturizing:

~ For healthy skin, moisturize twice a day.
~ For dry, sensitive, or dehydrated skin, moisturize three times a day (lightly). The key is to be consistent without overdoing it.
~ If you have existing skin conditions and use medical products, consult your healthcare provider to determine if you can mix these with other natural or organic products.

c) If planning a holiday: Continue your moisturizing routine even when travelling abroad.

Additional Tips:

a) Avoid Hot Showers: Keep your shower routine quick and simple.

b) Change Clothes Regularly: If you tend to perspire a lot, change your clothing frequently, especially your innerwear, to prevent fungal infections.

c) Wear Comfortable, Absorbent Fabrics: Choose materials that are gentle on the skin.

d) Stay Warm in Air Conditioning: Wear appropriate outerwear, drink warm fluids, and keep your skin hydrated.

e) Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, juice, and other healthy beverages.

f) Limit Cold Foods: Consuming cold foods can dampen your digestive system, potentially leading to skin or other health problems.

g) Take Care of Your Facial Skin: Use suitable products to keep your facial skin healthy and moisturized. Don’t forget sunscreen.

h) Prioritize Rest: Ensure you get enough sleep, eat wisely, and enjoy life. By following these tips, you can help maintain the health of your skin during the transitional months.
