Homosalate in winter: how to adjust
Using Homosalate in winter: the season brings cold air, indoor heating and moisture loss, so what changes is texture, frequency and what you layer around it — not usually whether you use it at all.
A weak UVB filter that earns its place mainly by dissolving stronger ones — a lot of sunscreen chemistry is really solvent chemistry. Ten percent was the traditional ceiling; the EU has since lowered the level allowed in facial products after reviewing it. If you are pregnant and would rather avoid it, mineral or newer-filter sunscreens are easy alternatives. Ask your doctor.
What winter does to your skin
Cold air and indoor heating strip moisture, so layer hydrating toners and essences under a richer cream or occlusive.
How that changes Homosalate
Winter is when barrier support outranks everything. Actives that were comfortable in August frequently are not in January. Homosalate works on sun damage & photoageing, and it is normally applied AM.
