Expert Advice: How To Prepare Your Skin For Changing Weather

The days of chilly winters are soaring behind, Spring is here and now we are looking forward to welcoming summer. Now, it is time to pack our pullovers and jackets and take out our easy-breezy dresses. With the changing season, we need to make some changes in our skincare routine as well in order to make our skin adapt to the new weather.

During summer, as the temperature and humidity increases, the activity of sebaceous glands also increases, making our dry skin patchy and dull and oily skin oilier. Dirt and oil also clog the pores that cause various skin problems like pimples and acne. So, here are a few tips byDr Swati Takkar, Skincare Expert, Derma Essentia to take care of your skin during the changing season.
