We all know that Spring is just around the corner....right? =-)
Well, eventually. For those of you in other regions it may not be so bad, but here in Calgary, with Chinooks and the crazy Calgary climate, Spring will just get here when it gets here.
One of the nasty things about the changing of the seasons is the constant changes it does to our skin as well. Women know this much more than the men do, but it is really important for us all to know about! Gentlemen - don't ignore this!
Of most importance is our face. We have all experienced it when we are travelling - you walk off the plane in a warmer climate, or a more humid environment, your hair gets frizzy, and your skin either drys up or perhaps practically swells. The changing season does exactly the same thing - only it is much more gradual a change, so most people don't notice it (until it's too late)! It is the changing of the seasons when it is of most importance to keep up on that routine!
Ladies all have their daily routine to Cleanse, Exfoliate, Tone, Condition and finally Moisturize! And guys - this means you too! We shave our faces on a regular basis, and guess what? We're doing the same thing! We clean our face, apply shaving cream and start trimming away the hair (this is Cleansing and when cutting the hair, you are also Exfoliating your skin). Then we apply an after shave (usually a Toner base, with some fragrance thrown in), and possibly a smoothing gel and creme afterward (Conditioning and Moisturizing). For some guys there might be an additional step or two in there, but it all works down to the same thing! Men and ladies alike, it follows the same basic steps!
Sometimes you don't have time to go through the entire routine - you're late for work, or not able to get home before the big meeting, or simply just too dang tired to do it. But in the transition times of the seasons, give it that extra effort! Your healthy skin depends on it! =-)
Wishing everyone a great start to March! Welcome to Spring this month!
Sincerely,
Andreas (& Tracy) Z.
