Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and its appearance can reflect our overall health and well-being. As the seasons change, so does our skin, which means adjusting our skincare routine is essential. 


Spring: Exfoliate and Hydrate

As the temperatures rise, it's time to shed the winter layers and reveal a fresh, glowing complexion. Spring is the perfect time to exfoliate and hydrate your skin.

  • Exfoliation: Use a gentle exfoliator, such as AlpacaSoaps Foaming Sugar Scrub, to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help your skin appear smoother and more radiant.
  • Hydration: Switch to a lightweight moisturizer and apply it daily to keep your skin hydrated. AlpacaSoaps Lotions are specially formulated to match the seasons, with lightweight grapeseed and Jojoba oils in the spring and summer and rich shea butter in the fall and winter. 


Summer: Protect and Nourish

During the summer, your skin is exposed to more sunlight, heat, and humidity. Focus on protecting your skin from harmful UV rays and nourishing it with antioxidants.

  • Sun Protection: Use a natural, mineral-based sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from sun damage. Remember to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
  • Antioxidant Boost: Incorporate antioxidant-rich foods, like berries and leafy greens, into your diet to combat free radical damage. Apply a lightweight, antioxidant-rich serum to your skin to provide additional protection. Get excited! AlpacaSoaps will be adding a line of seasonal skin serums to our line in 2023!


Fall: Repair and Strengthen

As the weather cools down, your skin may feel dry and tight. Focus on repairing and strengthening your skin's barrier during the fall season.

  • Repair: Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and impurities without stripping your skin of natural oils. AlpacaSoaps Artisan Bar Soaps are a great year-round solution for gently cleansing your body and hands. Incorporate products with natural, nourishing ingredients like oats, goat's milk, honey, avocado, or olive oil to help repair and heal the skin.
  • Strengthen: Add a hyaluronic acid serum to your routine to help strengthen your skin's moisture barrier and improve elasticity. This can help your skin better withstand the changing temperatures and prevent dryness.  Get excited! AlpacaSoaps will be adding a line of seasonal skin serums to our line in 2023!



Winter: Moisturize and Soothe

Cold, harsh weather can wreak havoc on your skin, causing it to become dry, red, and irritated. It's crucial to moisturize and soothe your skin during the winter months.

  • Moisturize: Opt for a richer moisturizer to lock in hydration and protect your skin from the elements. Please be sure to look for products containing natural oils like shea butter and jojoba oil.  AlpacaSoaps Lotions are specially formulated to match the seasons, with lightweight grapeseed and Jojoba oils in the spring and summer and rich shea butter in the fall and winter. 
  • Soothe: Avoid irritation or redness with soothing ingredients like chamomile, calendula, or colloidal oatmeal. Consider using a humidifier in your home to add moisture to the air and help prevent your skin from drying out.


By adapting your skincare routine to the changing seasons, you can maintain a healthy, radiant complexion all year round. Focus on simple, natural products and ingredients to nourish and protect your skin, no matter the weather outside. Consistency is key – stick to your routine and enjoy the glow!
