Fall Skin Care Tips
Don’t skip the sunscreen
Summer might be over but the need to protect your skin from the sun is a year round necessity. Invest in a daily moisturizer that includes sunscreen; look for one with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
Update your face and body cleansers
The facial cleansers and body soaps you used during the summer were fine for oilier skin, but with the drier air of fall, they might leave your skin in need of hydration. Making the switch to a cream based product that’s gentle and hydrating will have you on the path to softer skin for the fall and winter.
Exfoliate
Sun, heavy moisturizers, chlorine and outdoor activities can take a toll on your skin, leaving it dull and flakey. Gently exfoliating the skin once a week helps remove dead skin cells and leaves your skin smooth and renewed. Sunscreen is must after exfoliating.
Moisturize often
Drier fall air can zap your skin’s moisture. Keep your skin hydrated with daily moisturizing. The ideal time to apply moisturizer is just after your bath or shower. Save a step and include a product in your skin care regime that plays a dual role, use a daily moisturizer that includes sunscreen.
Be kind to your knees, elbows, hands and feet
Exposure to sun, sand, chlorine and salt water can leave your feet rough and dry, your elbows and knees in a need of some TLC, and your cuticles and knuckles rough and cracked. Update your skin care routine and gently exfoliate these areas and follow with a rich, creamy skin moisturizer. Adding a nightly cuticle cream can help your hands get a jump on colder winter weather.
Love your lips
Summer sun can leave your lips dull and dry. Don’t get caught with chapped, cracked lips that can get worse as the weather gets colder. Gently exfoliate your lips and apply a moisturizing lip balm that’s petroleum free and contains sunscreen with and SPF of 20 or more.
