If you are like me...you switch your skincare out for the seasons.  And if you aren't...then you should be!  One of the biggest skincare mistakes I see is people using the same things all year long.  Even if you are oily, there are things you can do so that you don't get oiler in the warmer months.  Also, I honestly think that you should invest in the Clarisonic Skincare Brush 6 oz Daily Cleanser as it has made a huge difference in the texture of my skin as well as it's ability to absorb product more effectively.  Now don't complain about the price tag, this is an investment in your skin.  If it's something that you just can;t afford right now, then make a goal and save up for it.  The only thing you have to replace every 6 months is the brush head and those are only $25.  I am not so keen on the cleanser that it comes with but it is a bundled product so it's whatever...save it and use it as a stocking stuffer at Christmas.

Now onto the actual skincare.  If you are dry, I would recommend switching to a gel based or a gel cream or a lotion moisturizer for the warmer months.  If you are oily, I would actually do the same thing BUT make sure it is formulated for oily skin OR that it is oil free.  Philosophy's Hope in a Jar is actually a really great mid-priced face cream PLUS they have different formulations according to your skin type.

To cleanse, I prefer something that feels "soapy" when it is warmer out.  I just feel like my face gets cleaner.  I still use Purity Made Simple because that will get every last bit of makeup off but I often also use Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser for All Skin Types because it just makes my skin feel SUPER clean as I have a little bit of oiliness when it gets warm.

Bottom line, stow the rich and emollient creams until the weather gets cool again and switch things up to lighter fare for the warmer season.  You skin will thank you!

Stay Pretty!!
