5 Reasons To Change Your Skincare Routine

Change is the new constant! Isn’t it? Most of us make a skincare routine change when we get tempted by the latest invention, we find our friends talking about a certain Holy Grail product, we get enticed by pretty faces in magazines or TV commercials or we just like the shape, color, feel of a new product. Pretty bottles and temptation aside, do we really need to make a skincare shift? The answer is yes!

Before you throw away products that you’ve been using , take a look at 5 compelling reasons for you to make the switch.

Listen to your skins language – Often we turn a deaf ear to what our skin is trying to tell us. Just because you’re convinced that you have oily skin doesn’t mean that you shall have oily skin forever. There are times when our skin tells us a different story. So if you wake up one morning with skin that feels dry or suddenly feels like an oil factory, you get bothered by enlarged pores, blackheads, acne or blemishes you need to rethink on your skincare routine and make a switch.

Travel shifts -Most of us don’t bother about making changes when travelling. This is fine if you are travelling to a place with a similar climate as yours, else you need to address your skins needs differently. If it is a beach destination you are heading to, prep up with a light moisturizer and a high dose of sunscreen with high SPF. You might change to an oil free product as skin normally tends to get oily in humid locations. If traveling to a cold destination pack skincare products meant for dry, cold, windy weather conditions.

Seasonal shifts -Even if you are not a traveler on the go you need to address your skincare needs with the change in seasons. The two important seasons which determine your routine shifts are summer and winter. You possibly cannot use your heavy winter day cream during the hot and sultry summer months. Similarly, you cannot expect your light summer moisturizer to work on your skin during the dry and cold winter. While you can use your heavier creams and foundation during the winter months, it is best to use tinted, light, water based moisturizers to combat the sultry summer.

Age-We all agree that age is just a number. But to look younger, like age doesn’t matter, we have to make certain skincare shifts in coherence with our age. Fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, sun or age spots, uneven skin tone are all signs of aging. You’ll have to use specific products targeted to tackle these skincare concerns on a regular basis. Along with this, make a sunscreen your best friend for all seasons alike.

Hormonal shifts-Being a woman is not easy and hormonal shifts don’t make it any easier. While you take adequate measures to tackle the bodily changes that come with these hormonal shifts you also need to make changes to your skincare routine. Pregnancy, nursing, PMS, and menopause are some of the times when our hormones go bonkers. During these shifts in hormones you will notice your skin changing too. Acne, pimples, oily skin, sluggish, dull skin or skin that becomes excessively dry are just some of the skincare woes that occur due to hormonal changes. With these skin changes, how could your products remain the same? When pregnant or nursing you have to steer clear of creams that contain tretinoin or retinoid, menopausal women should ideally avoid silicone and petroleum based skincare products and look for products that boost collagen production. Your dermatologist will be your best guide to help you cope with your skincare needs owing to hormonal shifts.

The Environ skin care range was first formulated as a result of Dr Fernandes' misfortune when he attempted to treat the melanoma of two young, charismatic patients, who both died before they were twenty-three years old. Such a horrifying experience leaves an indelible scar on one's life as a doctor. For this reason, he started to study the mechanism of skin cancer and the skin - and thus Environ was born.
