Building a Skincare Routine for Latin American Climates
Humidity, altitude, and strong UV — tailor your skincare to tropical and high-altitude environments.

Latin America's diverse climates demand adaptable skincare. Here's how to build a routine that works.
## Tropical & Humid (Brazil, Caribbean, Coastal)
- **Cleanse** with a gel or foaming cleanser twice daily
- **Treat** with lightweight niacinamide serums to control oil
- **Moisturize** with oil-free, gel textures
- **SPF 50+** is non-negotiable, reapply every 2 hours
## High Altitude (Mexico City, Bogotá, La Paz)
- **Hydrate** with richer creams containing hyaluronic acid
- **Barrier repair** with ceramides and squalane
- **SPF** is critical — UV is 40-60% stronger at altitude
## Desert & Dry (Northern Mexico, Peru coast)
- **Cream or oil cleansers** to preserve lipids
- **Face oils** like rosehip to lock in moisture
- **Overnight masks** 2-3 times per week
Our Rosehip Renewal Face Oil works beautifully across all these climates — it's lightweight enough for humidity yet nourishing enough for dry air.
