Fall is finally here! That means cozy sweaters, cooler weather, and unfortunately, drier skin.
Learn how you can maintain your summer glow all year long with these doctor-approved fall skincare tips!
1. STAY MOISTURIZED
Does your skin start to feel dry and tight in the fall and winter? You may not be moisturizing often enough, or you may be using the wrong type of moisturizer for your skin type
2. BEWARE DRY AIR
While it's a good idea to keep your skin out of the cold, artificial indoor heat can have similarly damaging effects on your complexion.
Most modern homes and office buildings rely on central heating systems that suck moisture out of the air. Skincare experts recommend investing in a small bedroom humidifier to keep the air in your home from becoming too dry.
3. AVOID HOT WATER
When the weather outside is chilly, there's nothing better than coming home and soaking in a hot tub or taking a steamy shower. But while these activities are relaxing, they're not necessarily great for your skin.
The hotter the water, the more it will dry you out. How can water be drying? Much like a sunburn, hot water causes the skin to become inflamed and disrupts the natural production of oils.
4. TRY ILLUMINATING & EXFOLIATING TREATMENTS
If your skin is already looking dull and feeling rough, it's not too late to do something about it.
Here are some tips to ask your beauty expert about;
Illuminizing peel: The Illuminize Peel is a fast-acting, non-invasive chemical peel that reduces pore size and helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and hyperpigmentation. With little to no downtime, you can quickly get back to your regular activities. This peel is so gentle that you can even have it done the day before a big event!
Microdermabrasion: By using tiny crystals to exfoliate the skin, microdermabrasion gently removes dead skin cells to reveal the soft and bright skin underneath. If you have any unwanted summer sun damage, microdermabrasion is a quick and simple way to restore your skin's tone and texture.
Having these treatments done close together (typically one week apart) is a great way to brighten up your skin for fall - and by removing dead skin and minimizing pore size, these treatments will make your fall skincare routine more effective and your skin less acne-prone.
5. DON'T FORGET YOUR SPF
Just because you're not hitting the beach anymore doesn't mean you should stop wearing sunscreen. A broad-spectrum 30 SPF sunblock should be part of your skincare routine year-round, not just during the summer.
6. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
Don't forget to keep drinking water, too! While there are many different opinions on exactly how much water you should drink each day, four to six cups is a good rule for generally healthy people.If you're taking certain medications or working out often, your doctor may recommend that you drink more.
If you have trouble remembering to drink water, you can still stay hydrated by incorporating hydrating foods into your diet. Cucumbers, lettuce, watermelon, and strawberries are all high in water content and low in sugar.
Cooler weather doesn't have to mean dull, dry skin - there's still plenty of time to protect and refresh your skin using the tips listed above!
