Learn how Climate-Smart Skin Awareness Day began and why it matters.
Every June 28, we pause to recognize a simple truth: your skin doesn’t exist in isolation—it lives in constant dialogue with your environment.
Climate-Smart Skin Awareness Day was created in 2021 by Pour Moi Skincare to spark a new conversation about skin health—one that goes beyond traditional skin type categories to include the critical role of climate.
Why June 28?
This date holds special significance in the scientific community.
On June 28, we honor Joseph Henry, the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, whose leadership pioneered the first nationwide weather observation network. His work laid the foundation for the U.S. Weather Service, established in 1870, transforming how Americans understood and responded to weather.
Exactly a century later, on June 28, 1972, the world lost Prasanta Mahalanobis, a visionary statistician whose large-scale survey methods revolutionized research on health and the environment. His pioneering techniques enabled generations of scientists to study how external conditions affect human well-being.
Together, their legacies inspired us to choose June 28 as a day to honor scientific progress and advocate for awareness of climate’s impact on skin health.
Changing the Conversation
For decades, skincare advice focused on oiliness, dryness, sensitivity, or age. But emerging research makes it clear: climate is an equally powerful factor. Humidity, temperature shifts, UV exposure, and pollution all influence how your skin looks, feels, and functions every day.
Climate-Smart Skin Awareness Day is about empowering you to:
✅ Recognize the impact of your local environment.
✅ Rotate climate-adaptive formulas as the weather changes.
✅ Protect your skin barrier to maintain resilience and radiance.
Whether you’re just learning about Climate-Smart skincare or already rotating products with the seasons, June 28 is a perfect time to take action.
Climate-Smart Skin Awareness Day is more than a moment on the calendar—it’s a movement toward more thoughtful, adaptive, and science-backed skin health.
