Has anyone moved from a humid climate to a dry climate, and did your skin totally freak out?

I live in a very dry place and have to fly to a humid client destination every other week, and my skin is so bad
:( anyone experience this or have tips? Female 26-32yoe

Could you try a lighter moisturizer (like a gel?) Also (if applicable) maybe a tinted serum predict instead of a full coverage foundation? Your skin isn’t acclimated to the more humid climate so it will probably be hard to avoid breakouts altogether if you are just going back and forth but perhaps those would help.

I went from DC to LA. Wet humid to bone dry. Was tough but my allergies are much better and my skin is learning to adjust. I just cake on the moisture. If you’re going the opposite- I would look at the products you use- avoid oil based make up removers, moisturizer, and foundations. Now I go back and forth NY to LA and I have different skin and hair products for each location.

I feel like your issue isn’t the dry climate but more so the frequent flying back and forth. Frequent flying leads to stress on the skin, causing it to over-compensate.

While everyone’s skin is different, I’ve heavily benefited from daily exfoliating—Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads, a little on the pricey side but absolutely worth it in my opinion.
I also use a serum at night—The Ordinary Multi-peptide serum, followed by a heavier-ish night cream before bed.

If just one, peel pads are holy grail

I just combine scrubbing with super moisturizing creams - and use the products by DE to avoid perfumes, alcohol, etc.

I’d think your skin would benefit from it.

My skin freaks out in chicago… idk why. Never knew how to fix. Just left lolll

I live in a dry climate and my body can not take humidity. It’s whatever you’re body is use to

My skin goes absolutely bananas when I go from humid to dry. I have to switch out all my products for super moisturizing ones for sensitive skin and drink tons and tons of water. I try to get a facial in when I’m back, but I don’t fly as often as you do.

Double down on water intake, moisturizing and sunscreen. Plus add a facial mist (like Evian) and use it 3 times a day at least. Also, be mindful of what sunscreen to use, the only one that doesn’t clog my pores for me is Alastin, but it’s crazy expensive

Just get mineral based sunscreens. Those are the best for your face.
