Seasonal K‑Beauty Guide: Switching Skincare for Summer and Winter
Your skin changes with the weather—your K‑Beauty routine should too.
Why Seasonal Skincare Matters
Humidity, temperature swings, and indoor climate control all affect your skin barrier. Korean skincare embraces adaptability—light layers for heat, richer ones for cold.
