Read on for some simple but effective tips on how to make the scariest time of year not only a bearable experience for many of us, but even more: a pleasant one.

Having lived in Tokyo for almost half my life, I've learned a number of simple solutions to relieve you of weather-related stress. We rarely talk about these tips, which certainly deserve more attention. Because in the end it's the little things that count.

The weather is changing and so is your skincare routine. It's time to be flexible in product selection and application. To keep your expensive face creams from melting on your face and being absorbed by a handkerchief or handkerchief, keep your morning skincare routine to a minimum. The lightest moisturizer and sunscreen will do, while moisture does the rest, contributing to a natural, hydrated finish. At night, take the more-is-more approach and layer it up. If you sleep with the air conditioner on, it's especially important to apply an oil-based moisturizer as a final step, as it keeps your skin from looking like dried umeboshi (Japanese fermented plum) when you wake up.
