During the switch from winter to summer I focus less on just my face and more on my whole body. Skincare during the summer means fixing all those areas that were covered up during the winter months.
ReplyDeleteMy switch is a total product overhaul because I can't find the right products to clear up my acne! 20-somethings are supposed to be past this stage of the game! I'm actually considering moving from an oil-free to an oil-based moisturizer because of all the great things I've heard about the Shu Uemura, Nude, etc brands.
ReplyDeleteThoughts?
I definitely hike up the SPF and switch to oil-free formulations.

I start wearing sunscreen all over, making sure my feet are sandal-appropriate cute, and I switch from foundation to just moisturizer.
ReplyDeleteIve gotta change up my cleanser and moisturizer now that im officially in my late twenties... The light stuff is just a little too light now.
ReplyDeletewrenallegra@yahoo.com
I use moisturizers with tint and spf 15, or higher, in the spring / summer months because my skin is pale and I want to prevent skin cancer and wrinkles
ReplyDeleteAlso tweeting, treetrout1
I focus more on SPF and lighter moisturizing. I also do a lot of exfoliating on my face, feet, wherever. It is nice to get rid of the nasty scaly winter skin!
ReplyDeletethanks,i was not aware i should change it up.i will use more sunsreen in the summer.
ReplyDelete@dgskincare I really like the Alpha Beta Peel! I got samples and after using it a couple times, my skin looked smooth & my pores diminished @waterbluffy
ReplyDeleteMy skin is much more dry in the winter so less moisturising needed during the summer months. Also use SPF products for sun protection. Thank you for the chance of winning!
ReplyDeleteMy switch from winter to summer is to add a higher SPF to my moisturizer, because I spend a lot of time at the water park with the kids.
ReplyDeleteIn the winter I take a lot of hot showers and I use a oil based cleasning wash.
ReplyDeleteIn the summer I take warm showers and use scented boody washes.
I also use scrubs more in the winter to get rid of dry skin.
LWons@HotMail.com
I stop using heavy creams at night in the spring so as not to clog my pores!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway :)
hurdler4eva(at)gmail(dot)com
this is easy. I use obagi in the winter and lots of moisturizer in the summer :)
ReplyDeleteI change my gold winter colors to warm pinks for my Spring makeup!
ReplyDelete(panicxduh@yahoo.com)
In the summer and late spring I move to a moisturizer that has a higher SPF in it.
ReplyDeletepittsy82@hotmail.com
In the summer, I use an oil-free moisturizer, with a high SPF and in the winter, I use a heavier moisturizer because my skin tends to get very dry to the point that it itches.
ReplyDeleteVanessasSecret4@aol.com
In the winter I typically only focus on my hands, face and chest for SPF protection. Now I use a lighter moisturizer throughout my body and cover myself head to toe with SPF before I leave.
ReplyDeleteI live in Southern CA. And really don't switch up my SPF and Face moisturizing. Though< I do find my feet need extra care in the winter!!
ReplyDeletei dont switch never knew i was supposed to use the same winter/ spring
ReplyDeleteI start using more products with sunscreen in them in the summer
ReplyDeleteMy skin is so oily but since I have used the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel it is the only thing I will use that makes my face feel so clean and look blemish free.
ReplyDeletevhubler77@gmail.com
I use moisturizers with tint and spf 30 .i got enough wrinkles and try to prevent to get more :) thanks for this giveaway !
ReplyDeletecdm65atmaildotcom -
I used a sunscreen year-round but with I change my moisturizer. I have to use a richer one in winter b/c my skin tends to get dry, especially around my mouth & nose. In spring & summer use lighter formula that doesn't clog my normal/combination skin. I also use a higher SPF in spring/summer. Exfoliation is key through-out the year though!
ReplyDeleteI find good moisturizers with a higher SPF. My skin is dry so still stick with thicker ones.
ReplyDeletetvollowitz at aol dot com
I use a spf all year but as it gets warmer i have to use skin care for oily skin, in the winter my skin gets dry so i have to use a moisturizer. it get kinda frustrating and sometimes expensive
ReplyDeleteI use a tinted moisturizer, self-tanner (for face) and a higher SPF (Ocean Potion is THE best!)
ReplyDeleteI tend to use SPF all year round; my moisturizer has spf 15, and my foundation has spf 15. But to switch up my skin care from winter to spring, I start using toner. My face can get so oily in the warmer months, and toner levels it out for me!
ReplyDeleteIn the summer I have to switch to a lighter moisturizer with sunscreen! I also use face mask more regularly! xoxo
ReplyDeletekimberly.long at gmail dot com
in the winter time, i use a moisturizer for dry skin, but summer time it's a combo/oily moisturizer - but both do have spf - always have to protect that!
ReplyDeleteI switch to a lighter oil-free lotion as well as add in acne-fighting serum. I always break out more in the summer so prevention is key!
ReplyDeletedefinitely hike SPF and focus on entire body
ReplyDeleteFirst off, this giveaway is AMAAAZING! I haven't tried any of his products yet, but I've read tons of rave reviews and am dying to.
ReplyDeleteAs the season is changing, I find my skin becoming oilier and becoming more acne prone! It's really difficult because my skin i combination - in the winter it's super dry, and in the summer my t-zone couldn't be more oily. I recently switched to all natural products, and spent a ton of money at Lush Cosmetics, but it's just not really working for me anymore...Right now, I'm looking for a whole new routine, one that I can partner with the Clarisonic brush I recently bought.
Obviously I'll be needing SPF, I'm thinking Peter Thomas Roth Mineral Powder.
My Sephora wishlist is HUGE! Pretty, pretty please - help me cut it down.
xo. Rachel - rml326@nyu.edu
I focus more on SPF, use a lighter day lotion, and often end up having to change up my foundation to something that can withstand the humidity better!
ReplyDeleteI switch to a lighter moisturizer in the Spring/ Summer. I also add a toner in the morning and switch from regular foundation to a tinted moisturizer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!!! :)
kmorris at wildcatdiscovery dot com
I use a SPF year round because I am so fair skinned.I use a lighter foundation in winter switching to a slightly darker shade in summer.I also use more moiturizer in winter to combatdry skin.
ReplyDeleteI usually switch to a higher number SPF oil-free moisturizer in the spring/summer. I usually have to start using a toner for oily combo-skin ,because I have a tendency to break out when the weather gets warmer and my skin tends to get oiler.
ReplyDeleteemail: cjscatlove1@yahoo.com
The only thing that I do different is add a base layer of sunscreen before putting on my make up in the summer
ReplyDeletepamc77@yahoo.com
in summer I use a lighter moisturizer but always use one all year round with spf
ReplyDeleteDuring the winter I use a heavier moisturizer
ReplyDeleteThe only difference for me is using more SPF for spring/summer
ReplyDeleteI use more moisturizers in the winter because my skin gets dry
ReplyDeleteI use a moisturizer with SPF in the spring.
ReplyDeleteIn the spring and summer I use a tinted mositurizer more than a foundation. It feels lighter on my skin. What a super giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI wear a face lotion with sunscreen all year. But come spring I wear oil free and higher SPF sunscreen with mineral powder.
ReplyDeleteI start wearing my sunscreen. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm a maniac about sunscreen all year long, so my main switch is from a heavy cream moisturizer to a lighter, oil-free version.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fab giveaway. Please count me in! Thanks!
I'm more apt to use sunscreen, even though I know it should be used all through the year
ReplyDeleteI use a moisturizer with SPF all year round. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletemogrill@comcast.net
I'm in my 40s and still deal with oily skin. Good part about that is I don't have that many wrinkles, bad part is the acne.
ReplyDeleteI still have to use an acne wash
buddhistmom at gmail dot com
I use more sunblock.
ReplyDeleteI use sunscreen a lot more in the summer but I still use moisturizer twice a day in both seasons.
ReplyDeleteadr1001025[at]msn.com
In the winter I have to use alot of mosturizers all over. I have alot of problems with dry skin in winter. Then in summer I have to use sunblock. My elderly neighbor had skin cancer on her nose, it wasn't pleasant. I use alot of sunscreen because I never want that to happen to me.

I use higher SPF in the spring/summer
ReplyDeleteI don't switch it up,
ReplyDeletemaybe that's why my skin is so dry..
pjf52@yahoo.com
During the winter I use a heavier moisturizer and then in the summer a lighter one with a higher spf. It is so hot in the summer here that anything you put on your face tends to melt. I use a spritzer alot in the summer also.
ReplyDeletesweepyhead at gmail dot com
During winter I use a really moisturizing honey based cleanser and a really rich moisturizer before putting makeup on. In summer I use a citrus/lemon cleanser that is great at controlling excess oil and use a lightweight serum before putting makeup on.
ReplyDeletejjak2003 at gmail dot com
After our very long cold winters I try to change up some of the products with a little more spf content in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance :)
In spring I use a lighter moisturizer and make sure I use higher SPF
ReplyDeleteI switch it up by using extra sunscreen in the summer.
ReplyDeletekmg852(at)gmail(dot)com
would love to win this..... I am getting older and my skin needs moisture.... thanks for the sweep.
ReplyDeletecaliforniapoppys@yahoo.com
I use more oil controlling products-especially in my T zone. Also, I'm better about doing my masks twice a week. For some reason I get lazier when it's cold.
ReplyDeletekaytewatts AT aol DOT com
I might lighten up on the moisturizers. My skin gets really dry in the winter. Otherwise, I stick to my serious skin routine of daily cleansing and moisturizing. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
ReplyDeletei use more sunscreen i live in sunny texas near the coast. thanks

half_blue_sky@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI add more all-over moisturizing and definitely a stronger spf in the summer.
I up the SPF in the summer,
ReplyDeleteand use a lower one in the winter.
I also use more oil controlling products in the summer, I tend to be more oily then.

ReplyDeleteWhen summer comes around, I switch to a lighter oil free moisturizer and a lighter weight eye cream. I also wear TM instead of foundation and lighten my lip colors.
ReplyDeleteI don't switch up my skin care. Maybe I should
ReplyDeleteluckydolls123[at]verizon[dot]net
During the winter I use a cream with spf 15 in it. I exfoliate once a day (morning) and use a oil-free cleanser twice a day (night and day). I also use eye-gel under my eyes. During the summer on the other hand, I use a oil free face lotion with an spf of 45 in it. I exfoliate once a day, use an oil free cleanser twice a day and finish with a toner to absorb extra oil and remove dead skin cells. I keep using the eye gel under my eyes.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing that changes from winter to summer is the fact that in the winter I use foundation, then set it in with a loose powder. In the summer I use a wet/dry powder only.
Im in my mid twenties, so Im starting to look into anti-aging products. I noticed that Dr. Dennis Gross skin care line has some anti-aging products, Im going to take a closer look at them. ;)
I never switch the routine I use with my face but do pay more attention to my arms and legs in colder months. My skin tends to dry out and look like alligator skin so I use extra body lotion during that time.
ReplyDeleteI have dry skin and have never really switched my skin care products. Maybe its time to
ReplyDeletejason(at)allworldautomotive(dot)com
In the summer, I wear moisturizer with more sunscreen than in the winter, and I wear a wide-brimmed hat when outside. In the winter, I wear more moisturizer with less sunscreen. I use some anti-aging products at bedtime so that my face can be happy all night - summer and winter.
ReplyDeletehi_joan_elliott at hotmail dot com
aw what a great giveaway!! skin care is huge for me because unfortunately i have always struggled with having not the best skin. in the winter my skin gets super dry (but still super oily at the same time, darnit, lol) so i switch to a moisturizer but i have to be super careful what kind of moisturizer because if not i break out even worse than i already normally do! summer & winter i use a bunch of different acne medications on my face, nothing really ever works though, so id be super excited to try this giveaway! :))
ReplyDeleteWell. I usually shave my legs more often in the summer!! I use a scrub on my face, and since I'm outside more often, I up my spf. Would love to win!!
ReplyDeletetattgiff@centurytel.net
Moisturize to the max in the winter. Exfoliate for even skin tone when sunning - with spf of course - during the summer
ReplyDeleteI have to use a much heavier moisturizer in winter- Love when I can "lighten up" in the spring & summer.
ReplyDeleteI use obagi in the winter and lots of moisturizer in the summer
ReplyDeleteI really don't change the products I use from season to season but just use less in the hot months and add more product with sun protection also.
ReplyDeleteMy skin is so dry in the winter that I haven't yet found a good enough moisturizer to keep from dry patches and blotches, so I use olive oil during the winter to moisturize. When summer comes, I switch back to a normal moisturizer with spf.
ReplyDeletefalongoesgreen at gmail dot com
I drink a lot of water in both summer & winter but I drink even more in winter because I feel as if my skin is drier due to the forced heat that most homes & businesses use. I wear sunscreen everyday but I increase the SPF in summer, especially when I will be outdoors for an extended period of time. I also moisturize daily but do it more intensely in winter while wrapping my hands and feet in sleeping gloves & socks to prevent cracking and eczema.

My skin is worse in the winter so lots of moisturizer and hand cream daily. When the cold disappears and spring arrives I only have to use the same stuff once every few days.
ReplyDeletemckelly74 at gmail dot com
I switch from an age defying routine to one to avoid the break-outs I get in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI try to wear SPF all year since I live in Southern California. But I definitely use extra moisturizers in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI usually use the same year round; however, in the summer I try to get more SPF.

When spring arrives I make sure I'm always wearing a moisturizer with SPF, especially on my neck where I already have sun damage.
ReplyDelete3oink63moo484 (at) gmail(.)com
I always use Spf in summer or winter. The sun shines year round. In the summer I use less oily products.
ReplyDeleteI use alot more moisturizer in the winter and more sunscreen in the summer. We like to go to the beach alot too, so chapsticks with sun protectant in it is a must!
ReplyDeletesparkofutterance@hotmail.com
I live in humid florida so during the winter an oil free moisturizer works and over the summer a moisturizer with at least 30 spf

ReplyDeleteferriza2(at)yahoo(dot)com
i use a lighter cleanser intime@myself.com
ReplyDeleteMy skin gets extremely dry in the winter and then really oily in the summer. I switch up my moisturizer so that it has more SPF for summer but also doesn't make my face so greasy.
ReplyDeletesummer.tidmore@yahoo.com
I use lighter upf tinted moisturizer during the winter/spring and use a higher upf rated more medium tinted moisturizer once we get into late spring/summer/fall when I am outside more. Love the all in one approach which for me makes it easier to get done. For years I would forget to apply the sunscreen with enough drying time. And as the years go by, the daily moisturizer year round makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteI use a higher spf sunscreen in the summer. I use lighter shades of makeup in the warmer months. In winter I use less makeup, omlu use the basics. garrettsambo@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI definitely have to up the SPF
ReplyDeletealterna7 at hotmail dot com

ReplyDeleteIn the summer and late spring I use a moisturizer that has a higher SPF in it. I also wear more powder.
ReplyDeletein the summer i use sunless tanners and in the winter i use hydrating moisturizers because my skin gets so very dry
ReplyDeleteI JUST USE A HIGHER SPF FOUNDATION IN THE SUMMER :)
ReplyDeleteFor springtime I always up my spf, dial down my Vitamin D & switch to a bit lighter of a moisturizer.
ReplyDeleteI spend more time outdoors so I up my SPF and the weather is more humid so I use a lghter moisturizer. Thanks.
