As summer winds down and fall begins, it's time to rethink your skincare routine. The transition from summer to fall brings not just a change in temperature but also a shift in how your skin behaves. The glow from summer might fade but that doesn’t mean your skin needs to suffer. Here’s why the changing weather affects your skin and how to keep it healthy and glowing as fall arrives.
Fall weather can impact your skin in many ways.
In the summer, the air is humid which can help keep skin hydrated. As fall approaches the humidity significantly decreases, causing dry, tight, and sometimes flaky skin. Making the skin barrier compromised and more susceptible to irritation and sensitivity.
Hotter showers and indoor heating contributes to skin dehydration. The moisture in the air decreases with the cooler weather, significantly drying out your skin.
Summer may have left behind some sun damage, whether it be sun spots, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, fine lines and even dehydrated skin.
In the summer, your skin may produce more oil due to the heat and humidity, but as the weather gets cooler oil production decreases. This can lead to skin imbalances, making your skin feel both oily and dry at the same time.
As the weather is quickly changing, your skin needs a little extra TLC to transition smoothly into the new season. Getting a proper Fall Facial is essential and here’s why.
A professional facial can help replenish the moisture your skin loses during the colder weather. We use advanced hydrating ingredients and techniques that penetrate deeper than at-home products, leaving your skin plump and refreshed.
The build up of dead skin cells from the summer lead to dull appearance and clogged pores, with enhanced exfoliation we gently slough off these dead skin cells, allowing new, healthy skin to emerge. Not only does this help texture but it also enhances the effectiveness of skincare products.
Fall facials can focus on treating and repairing sun damage from the summer. This includes treatments which can help reduce hyperpigmentation and even out your skin tone.
Customized skincare, not all products that work in the summer will work in the fall and vise-versa. Fall facials allow you to get a skincare regimen tailored to fit your unique needs. Products that will help your skin adjust to the new season will also be recommended.
Some tips that you could incorporate or change within your skincare regimen, could help your skin in the fall and colder weather.
Transition cleansers. Gel cleansers are great in the summer when you’re dealing with sweat and oil, but in the fall switching to a creamier product that wont strip your skin from its natural oils is ideal.
Incorporating antioxidants like vitamin C, E and niacinamide help your skin from environmental stressors, reducing premature aging.
A thicker moisturizer will keep the hydration locked in. Look for products with ceramides.
Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to keep your skin smooth and for better product absorption. Be gentle though, your skin may be more sensitive as it adjusts to the colder weather.
Staying hydrated, proper hydration from within supports overall skin health, helping maintain elasticity and healthy glow.
We all tend to forget to moisturize our hands and lips, but they are the first to show signs of dryness. Use a nourishing lip balm with SPF and apply hand cream to keep these areas soft and protected.
Last but not least just because its cooler doesn’t mean you should skip SPF. UV rays can still cause damage, even on a cloudy day.
Don’t “fall” victim to the seasons challenges. As the weather shifts, so should your skin routine. Fall is the perfect time to refresh your regimen with facials that replenish, repair, and rejuvenate your skin. By following these steps and making necessary adjustments, you can keep your skin healthy, glowing, and ready to face the new season!
