It is officially Fall! The season of pumpkin spice lattes, caramel apples, sweaters, spooky ghosts and... dry skin?! Here are some suggestions to take care of your skin and some new daily skin care practices to try.
As you may know, your skin's hydration is directly impacted by the air moisture content. So it is easier to maintain smooth, plump, and healthy skin in the summer when it is warmer and more humid. In the summer, we also tend to eat healthier and exercise more, which promotes blood flow and keeps our skin healthy. In the transition months like September, skin loses a lot of moisture in the environment when the air is less humid. Here are a few tips to transition your skincare routine from summer to fall without causing a skin freak out.
-Continue to use your Sunscreen! The amount of UV radiation you are exposed to from the sun is not always correlated with the temperature outside. Keep your skin protected!
-Easy on exfoliation! Exfoliating is great for removing dead skin cells and smoothing out the skin, but over-exfoliation can irritate the skin, especially when it is exposed to harsher weather.
-Moisturize, but extra! Switch those lightweight gel moisturizers to something more dense and creamy. When the air is cold your skin barrier may need extra help from a richer consistency moisturizer.
Come fall, we have prepared a skincare mini makeover and maybe it is time for a new wardrobe, too!
