Fall is the season of transition. The days grow shorter, the temperature drops, and your skin becomes drier. It can really give you a tough time if you do not make some supportive changes to your daily skincare routine. Here are some tips that can keep your skin feeling happy and nourished as the leaves fall.
Switch on to a Moisturizing Cleanser
If you are using a harsh or oil-control cleanser during summer, then it is time to change it. Dry air damages the lipid barrier of your skin and it needs moisturization to repair itself. Switch to a hydrating, gel-based, or lotion cleanser. It will help to keep your pores clean without stripping away the moisture.
Heavier Moisturizer
Say goodbye to your lightweight and an oil-free moisturizer that you love to apply during summer. It is time to stock up heavier moisturizers preferably cream formula with ceramides. Apply it to damp skin that will help to seal in the moisture. Ceramides are long chains of fatty acids that enhance the lipid content of the skin barrier and improves hydration.
Exfoliate
Dead skin cells build up on your skin and it reduces the absorption capacity of your skincare products. Exfoliating the debris away once a week will reveal a brighter and younger-looking complexion.
Avoid exfoliating agents like glycolic acid and retinoids as they can cause itching and irritation to your skin in dry and low humid weather. Try using lactic acid or salicylic acid on a weekly basis to remove the dead skin cells from the surface.
Avoid Long and Hot Showers
Most of you must love to take long hot showers but they are not so good for your skin during autumn or the winter season. They can strip away the essential oils and natural moisture from your skin. Limit your shower time to 10 minutes and keep the water warm not hot.
Add Some Multivitamins to Your Diet
Adding multivitamins to your diet improves your overall health. They can help to tackle the skin concerns like dryness, acne, or wrinkles. Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals. It protects your skin against sun damage and fades wrinkles. Vitamin C improves skin texture, tone, and hydrates skin. Vitamin E is also great to protect your skin against UV rays.
Beauty Sleep
People give the least importance to their sleeping schedule. It becomes the most critical thing when it comes to skincare during the fall or winter season. Your skin heals and regenerates while you sleep. It reduces puffiness around your eyes and improves the effectiveness of your nighttime skincare products.
Don’t Forget the Sunscreen
Just because the summer is over, it does not give you a free ticket to skip sunscreen. The UV rays are around you throughout all four seasons. They can cause skin cancer. Choose a moisturizer or sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15. It helps to fend off wrinkles and sunspots. It keeps your skin looking healthy and young.
Invest in a Facial Treatment
Fall is the right time to indulge in a facial treatment. It improves blood circulation that enhances cellular growth and increases collagen production. Always choose a professional who understands your skin type and needs.
