(BPT) - With winter in full swing, it's time to reconsider your skincare regimen. The season's cooler temperatures and lower level of humidity can lead to an uptick in dry skin and overall skin health changes. Researchers found that climate factors have the potential to influence skin health, especially skin's moisture levels and textures, and that consumers should alter their skincare from season to season. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to smoothly transition your skincare regimen to fall without overhauling your entire beauty product collection.

Here are five simple tips to consider to correct any summer damage and prepare your skin for the upcoming colder months:

Switch up your cleanser: With a decrease in sunlight and heat, our skin produces less oil. With that change, it is important to choose a cleanser that does not completely strip the skin of its natural oils. During the summer months, gel and foaming cleansers are great for a deep cleanse, however these may cause the skin to dry out in the fall and winter. The key is to choose a new cleanser based on your skin

type and how it reacts to different weather conditions, such as a sulfate-free or lotion-based alternative.
