Dandruff is typically worse in winter, thanks to dry heat indoors and extra-hot showers, but when the humidity starts rising in spring you can put down your dandruff shampoo, Baxt says. If your dandruff is severe, there's no reason to stop using a medicated shampoo; however, if you're dying to try a different formula, says Baxt, now is the time to do it.
For the most part I consider myself a planner, a list-maker, a generally organized type of chick. The exception? Whenever the seasons change.
Chalk it up to living in Southern California most my life (where we barely even have seasons), but I'm always caught off guard when the weather flips. I typically don't get around to buying a new coat until February or a new bathing suit until July, and at that point it's a bit of a wash.

So when my editor asked me to ID the skin care routine tweaks that are a must for spring, I considered it a chance to get myself in gear for the new season, too. I asked experts for the product swaps we should all be making, as well as in-office and at-home skin care treatments that help get rid of dry winter skin in time for shorts weather.
Now I've got a new daily skin care regimen. And heck, I may even get a jump-start on buying a new bikini this year.
