Great skin isn’t just about the right products. It’s about first understanding how your skin behaves and how external factors, like the changing seasons, can influence it. Here at Clenature, we’re all about tuning in, not forcing things. That means learning how to work with your skin instead of constantly trying to correct it. Once you know what your skin needs, you can start building a routine that adapts and flows with the seasons.

Let’s dive into what makes your skin unique and how you can adapt your routine to Mitigate its harsh and dry needs, no matter the season.

Before we begin, it is to note that dry skin often feels tight, rough, or appears dry looking rather quickly under certain circumstances. That is simply because dry skin struggles to produce enough natural oils, which often leads to visible irritation and discomfort, especially after cleansing. You may even notice that your skin tends to soak up moisturizers rather quickly and sometimes feels itchy and, after some time, can appear dull or moisture lacking. Now with that said, let’s look into how you can support your skin through the various seasons.

Spring: Hello Allergies & New Beginnings

📍Best Pick: Green Tea Antioxidant Serum & Watermelon Hydration Moisturizer

Spring is the season when everything starts to bloom, including your skin. But with a rising increase in humidity, temperature shifts, and allergens in the air, your skin may feel a little more sensitive and reactive. That mix often leaves your skin feeling more irritated or dry than usual. On days like these, we recommend our Green Tea Antioxidant Serum as well as our Watermelon Hydration Moisturizer. Our Green Tea Antioxidant Serum aids in calming visible irritation and reducing visible redness, which further helps to minimize the visible effects of environmental stressors. Our Watermelon Hydration Moisturizer on the other hand, contains ingredients such as glycerin and watermelon extracts which attracts moisture into the skin and helps with water retention. Together, our recommendation is perfect for this season as it helps your skin transition out of the dry winter months into a more balanced, glowy state.


The Science: 

Green tea is rich in polyphenols, which are antioxidant compounds known to help reduce oxidative stress and support a visibly calmer and more balanced looking skin barrier which is especially important during seasonal changes. Watermelon Fruit Extracts is a rich source of amino acids and vitamins. They are known to deliver hydration as well as contribute positively to a smoother, more supple looking complexion. Glycerin, in particular, has been shown to improve skin elasticity as well as support a healthier skin barrier making it ideal for areas that feel tight or flaky.

Summer: The Heatwave Hustle

📍Best Pick: Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner & Peptide Eye Contour Serum

On to our next season, Summer. Known for excess sweating, sun exposure, and extra oil production, your skin works overtime just to stay cool and protected, but that can also lead to clogged pores, dullness, and dehydration. The best product for this time period would be our refreshing Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner as it helps to keep your pores looking tight, balances oil, and soothes heat-related visible irritation without drying you out. For added hydration especially around sensitive areas like the eyes, our second recommended option, the Peptide Eye Contour Serum works best. This specialized formula is infused with Acetyl Tetrapeptide 5 to target puffiness around the eyes as well as Sodium Hyaluronate for intense hydration. Together, this duo provides optimum hydration for those hot dry days.


The Science: 

Witch hazel contains natural tannins that have astringent and antioxidant properties. These compounds help reduce oil buildup and visible redness, which may help pores appear more refined while contributing to a more balanced looking complexion. Additionally, acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, featured in our Peptide Eye Contour Serum, is part of a studied peptide blend that has been shown to help reduce the look of puffiness and support smoother-looking skin around the eyes for a refreshed appearance.

Autumn: The Transition Zone

📍Best Pick: Hyaluronic Acid Serum & Advanced Peptide Repair Moisturizer

With the heat now over and leaves colors changing, your skin might start to feel drier, tighter, and a bit more sensitive. It's these in between moments where your skin is adjusting from the hot and humid summer days to cooler, drier air which is why it needs a little extra love to stay evenly balanced. For this category, our best pick would be the Hyaluronic Acid Serum as this serum gives your skin that perfect boost of hydration without feeling heavy or oily. It pulls moisture into the skin and helps you maintain that soft, dewy glow even as the air gets crisper. We also recommend you pair it with our Advanced Peptide Repair Moisturizer as it combines antioxidant rich Cranberry Extracts with rejuvenating Peptides which promotes a plump and healthier looking skin. Together, these products are like your skin’s favorite hoodie, that lightweight, cozy, and just right for fall season one. 


The Science: 

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that attracts and binds water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and support visible elasticity. Clinical studies highlight its role in improving skin smoothness, suppleness, and aiding in the look of a healthy barrier function. Peptides are small chains of amino acids that support skin firmness by encouraging the appearance of collagen production. They’re especially useful during seasonal transitions when the skin barrier can become compromised. Paired with humectants like glycerin, this moisturizer helps the skin to retain moisture while staying lightweight with the added benefit of making sure it never clog your pores or overwhelm your oil-prone skin.

Together, this combo provides a non greasy layer for keeping the skin nourished as the air gets cooler.

Winter: The Cold Challenges

📍Best Pick: Raw Shea Butter Balm

Furthermore, The study highlighted the formula’s potential to increase type I procollagen synthesis and promote hyaluronic acid production.
