Key Takeaways

  • Takeaway1

    Spring: detox gently and reintroduce actives after winter hibernation.

  • Takeaway2

    Summer: focus on antioxidants, SPF reapplication, and lightweight hydration.

  • Takeaway3

    Fall: rebuild barrier strength with ceramides and prep for cooler months.

  • Takeaway4

    Winter: layer hydration, use humidifiers, and schedule Ritual facials.

  • Takeaway5

    Time Renewal microneedling and exosome hair sessions around seasonal schedules.

Spring Reset

Swap heavy creams for lightweight gels, add vitamin C, and book a Ritual facial or Radiant peel. Introduce microneedling as UV levels rise so healing is quick and safe.

Summer Protection

Carry mineral SPF, antioxidant mist, and sun hats. Plan Ritual facials in the evening to soothe from sun exposure. Drink electrolytes to combat dehydration during Stampede season.

Fall Rebuild

Add barrier serums, ceramide moisturizers, and lip balms. Schedule Renewal microneedling before holiday photos and start planning exosome hair maintenance before indoor heating ramps up.

Winter Nourish

Layer hyaluronic acid, oil serums, and occlusive balms. Use humidifiers, skip scalding baths, and book monthly Ritual facials for lymphatic support. Keep your prescribed scalp serum and massage tools handy to counter hat hair dryness.
