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 sensitive skin unique and how you can adapt your routine to manage its delicate nature, no matter the season.

People with sensitive skin often experience irritation, redness, or discomfort in certain conditions. This is because sensitive skin has a weakened barrier, making it more reactive to environmental factors and skincare products. You might notice stinging or burning after cleansing, tightness, itchiness, or sometimes blotchy and inflamed areas. But with our gentle, all around products, we’re here to help soothe and protect your skin throughout the day. Now, with that said, let’s explore how you can support your sensitive skin through the different seasons.

Spring: Keep It Calm

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



Increased sun exposure, pollen, and allergens in the air can all leave your skin feeling irritated, reactive, and maybe a bit inflamed. All of this makes spring one of the most challenging seasons for persons with sensitive skin and as such, it's important to take precautions to help reduce redness, visible flare ups, and patches of discomfort that tends to occur more frequently. Your skincare routine should center around calming ingredients, that hydrates, and offer visible barrier support. Given this predicament, your two spring must haves would be our Green Tea Antioxidant Serum alongside with our Watermelon Hydration Moisturizer. Being rich in antioxidants like EGCG, Green Tea Extract acts like a shield against daily skin stressors and as such, It helps to protect your skin from the visible effects of environmental exposure all while calming irritation and reducing the appearance of redness. 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. Glycerin, in particular, has been shown to improve skin elasticity, support a healthy barrier, and reduce transepidermal water loss, making it ideal for areas that feel tight or flaky.

The Science: 

Green tea extract is rich in polyphenols and antioxidants which are compounds that have been studied to help reduce oxidative stress, visible redness, as well as overall support of skin elasticity. Some research also suggests its potential to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time which adds to its value. At the same time, Glycerin helps by drawing in water into the skin thus supporting softness while helping reduce transepidermal water loss over time which is key for hydration and cooling relief.

Summer: Sun Exposure and Heat

📍Best Pick: Soothing Brightening Serum & Hyaluronic Acid Serum


For summer, our go to pairing is our Soothing Brightening Serum followed by the Hyaluronic Acid Serum. The Soothing Brightening Serum is perfect for this season because it avoids strong brightening acids and instead uses a calming blend of plant based extracts like jackfruit, rice extract, calendula, and adaptogenic mushrooms like Lentinus edodes and Trametes versicolor to help reduce any visible signs of irritation and support a more even looking complexion. By following that with our Hyaluronic Acid Serum, it helps by sealing in that moisture using a lightweight formula that is designed to keep skin cool, soothed, and balanced. 


The Science: 

Studies have shown that Trametes versicolor and Lentinus edodes supports skin brightening all while giving a more improved tone through the use of antioxidant and calming mechanisms. Calendula and chamomile are also known to help visibly comfort sensitive skin and Hyaluronic acid supports hydration by drawing water to the skin’s surface, contributing to a smoother, more hydrated appearance.

Autumn: The Transition Zone

📍Best Pick: Gentle Balancing Toner & Advanced Peptide Repair Moisturizer

As autumn arrives and temperatures begin to fluctuate, sensitive skin may experience changes in texture and comfort, sometimes feeling dry and tight, other times appearing reactive. Seasonal transitions like this call for a thoughtful skincare routine that helps remove surface buildup, maintain hydration, and support the skin’s natural barrier function. That’s why we recommend starting with our Gentle Balancing Toner, formulated to gently lift dead skin cells and attract moisture without causing discomfort. Follow with our Advanced Peptide Repair Moisturizer, which is designed to help reinforce the skin’s barrier, support a smoother appearance, and reduce the look of sensitivity. When used together, these products can help your skin feel more balanced, hydrated, and comfortable throughout the seasonal shift. 

The Science:
Gluconolactone is the key exfoliating ingredient in our Gentle Balancing Toner, and it is a polyhydroxy acid recognized for its mild, non-irritating properties compared to traditional exfoliants. Studies suggest it may help enhance skin hydration while gently removing surface buildup, which contributes to a smoother texture and supports the appearance of a healthy skin barrier over time. On the other hand, is our Advanced Peptide Repair Moisturizer, which features signal peptides and those are short chains of amino acids that are naturally found in the body. These have been studied for their potential role in maintaining collagen and elastin, which may help improve the look of firmness and hydration. Together, these ingredients offer gentle exfoliation, hydration support, and barrier care that can help skin feel more balanced and comfortable during autumn’s changing conditions.

This pairing helps support hydration, comfort, and a more even-looking complexion throughout autumn’s ups and downs.

Winter: The Cold Challenges

📍Best Pick: Orange Bergamot Tallow Balm & Peptide Eye Contour Serum


Winter is the hardest test for sensitive skin. Between dry indoor heating and cold winds outside, your skin can become easily chapped, irritated, or flaky. This season is all about shielding and restoring and giving your skin that rich, soothing support to help it hold onto moisture and remain calm in the face of extreme conditions. To protect and replenish your skin’s appearance during winter, we recommend using our Orange Bergamot Tallow Balm alongside our Peptide Eye Contour Serum. The tallow balm delivers intense nourishment with skin mimicking lipids and antioxidant rich oils. These ingredients are there to visibly support your skin’s natural barrier all while our eye gel-cream is enriched with acetyl tetrapeptide-5 and sodium hyaluronate to hydrate and reduce the appearance of puffiness under the eyes.


The Science: 

Tallow contains skin compatible fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K, making it deeply moisturizing and ideal for dry, sensitive skin. A 2024 scoping review suggests that while more research is needed, existing studies highlight its potential to support hydration and comfort. Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, an ingredient in our Peptide Eye Contour Serum, was part of a studied peptide blend shown to reduce puffiness and support smoother skin around the eyes, contributing to a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
