Skin, hair and nails from one season to the next

Skin does not ask for the same care in January and in July. Winter dries the face and calls for richer textures, while summer brings sun exposure and, for some, a reaction to light that goes beyond a simple burn. Hair changes too: curls need moisture and gentle detangling, and a weekly oil bath helps lengths that feel rough. Nails and cuticles follow the same rhythm, and festive make-up returns each December with its glitter and metallic shades.

Three habits for a more consistent beauty routine

  1. Cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise in that order, keeping exfoliation to once or twice a week on sensitive skin.
  2. Warm a few drops of facial oil between your palms and press them onto the skin after your cream, not before.
  3. Soften cuticles in warm water and push them back gently rather than cutting them, to protect the nail.

Why the order of a routine matters as much as the products

A routine often falls short not for lack of products but because of the order in which they are used. The rule is simple: start with cleansing, follow with the lightest textures and finish with the richest. A gentle cleanser removes the day without stripping the skin, then a serum goes on, then a moisturiser. A facial oil comes last in the evening, pressed in with the palms, as it seals in what lies underneath. Exfoliation is the step to dose carefully: once or twice a week is enough for most skin, and a face that stings or turns red needs a pause.

Hair follows a similar logic. Curls dry out faster than straight hair, because natural oils travel less easily along each spiral, so they benefit from a mild shampoo, a generous conditioner and detangling with the fingers on damp hair. An oil bath, left on the lengths for a while before washing, softens hair that feels rough after summer or after colouring. Once a week is usually enough, and the roots can be left out.

Hands and nails come last, and they show neglect quickly. Cuticles are softened in warm water, pushed back and nourished rather than cut, which protects the nail as it grows. Nail capsules and lash glue go on clean, dry surfaces and come off gently. Skin that reacts to the sun or to a new product deserves a medical opinion rather than another cream.
