4 Seasonal Skincare Tips

Your skin feels, reacts, and changes with the seasons.
What works in winter may overwhelm your skin in summer. That’s why it’s essential to adapt your skincare routine all year round. Here’s how to keep your skin glowing and healthy through every season:

Spring: Refresh & Protect

Winter may be behind us, but it often leaves its mark — tight, dull or extra sensitive skin. As spring begins to show itself, your skin slowly starts to awaken too. Temperatures rise, the air becomes softer, and pollen returns to the breeze. It’s the perfect time for a fresh skincare start.

In spring, it’s all about renewal and protection.Your skin needs to shed the build-up of dead skin cells, breathe freely again, and prepare for more sunlight. By focusing on gentle cleansing, exfoliation and lightweight hydration, you help your skin regain its natural glow and avoid seasonal irritation.

• Cleansing: After the cold months, your skin craves a clean slate. Use a mild cleanser like our Rooibos Purifying Face Wash to gently remove buildup, excess oil and impurities — without drying out your skin.

• Exfoliation: Give your skin a soft boost with the Rooibos Gentle Face Scrub. It helps slough off dead cells and brings back a healthy, radiant look.

• Hydratation & care: Opt for light, non-greasy moisturisers like the Rooibos Lightweight Day and Night Cream. These formulas hydrate without heaviness and help maintain balance as the seasons shift.

• Protection: With the sun gaining strength, SPF becomes essential. Add a sunscreen to your routine to protect your skin from UV rays and prevent premature ageing.

Summer: Hydrate & Soothe

Summer means sun, sea… and sweat. It’s the season of café terraces, holidays and long days spent outside. But intense sunlight, rising temperatures and pollution can dry out your skin and throw off its balance. On top of that, sweat can clog pores more easily, often leading to breakouts or irritation.

That’s why your skin needs some extra love during summer — think refresh, hydrate and protect. With these summer skincare tips, you’ll keep your skin glowing, fresh and comfortable, no matter how warm it gets.

• Cleansing: Keep your skin clear of sweat and excess oil with the Rooibos Purifying Face Wash. It’s perfect for gently removing the buildup of long, hot days — without stripping the skin.

• Hydratation: Hot weather and air conditioning can dehydrate your skin. Use the Rooibos Soothing Face Toner. as a refreshing mist to keep your skin feeling cool and hydrated throughout the day.

• Care: At night, apply the Lightweight Night Cream. It helps your skin recover from sun exposure and provides light but effective nourishment while you sleep.

• Protection: No summer routine is complete without SPF. Apply sunscreen generously before heading out — and reapply every few hours for optimal protection against UV damage.

Autumn: Repair & Nourish

Autumn marks the shift from balmy summer nights to crisp, cosy days — but for your skin, that transition is rarely smooth. Drier air, colder weather and less sunlight can leave your skin feeling tight, dull or out of balance.

This season is all about repairing and nourishing.After months of sun exposure, your skin needs care that restores its natural barrier and brings back softness and elasticity. Gentle exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and traces of summer damage, while rich creams and nourishing masks provide the extra love and protection your skin deserves.

• Exfoliation: Use the Rooibos Gentle Face Scrub.  to gently remove dead cells and lingering signs of sun damage. It helps your skin regain its glow and allows rich creams to absorb more effectively.

• Hydratation: As the air gets drier and temperatures drop, your skin needs more than a light moisturiser.
  Switch to a richer formula like the Rooibos Nourishing Face Cream 24H. ,packed with caring, restorative ingredients.

• Extra Care: Treat your skin to a weekly moment of calm with the Rooibos Calming Face Mask. It soothes, comforts and restores skin that may have become dry or sensitive after summer — and into the early autumn chill.

Winter: Protect & Repair

Winter is without a doubt the most demanding season for your skin. Cold winds, dry indoor heating and sudden shifts in temperature can throw your skin off balance. The result? Dryness, redness and a tight, uncomfortable feeling.
In winter, it’s all about protection and recovery.

Gentle cleansing, deeply hydrating creams and soothing treatments become your best friends. Rich formulas that lock in moisture and support the skin barrier will help your skin feel soft and cared for — even in the harshest conditions.

• Cleansing: Cold outdoor air and dry indoor heating can upset your skin’s natural balance. Use a gentle, non-drying cleanser like the Rooibos Purifying Face Wash to remove impurities without disturbing your skin's protective barrier.

• Hydratation: Indoor heating can sap your skin’s moisture, leaving it tight or dry. Use the Rooibos Soothing Face Toner daily to refresh and hydrate after cleansing, helping your skin stay supple and comfortable all day long.

• Care: Follow up with the Rooibos Nourishing Face Cream 24H. This rich day and night cream nourishes and repairs your skin for 24 hours, while protecting it against cold and dry winter weather.

• Extra Care: Treat your skin to a weekly reset with the Rooibos Calming Face Mask. It soothes and deeply nourishes — just what your skin needs during the cold, dry winter months.
