As the warm, sunny days of summer fade away and cooler autumn breezes take over, your skincare routine needs a seasonal switch-up! 🍂 Fall brings drier air, unpredictable weather, and the need for more nourishment and protection for your skin. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your skin glowing as temperatures drop.
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
The dry, crisp air of fall can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it feeling tight and flaky. Now’s the time to swap your lightweight summer moisturizer for something richer and more hydrating. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acidand ceramides, which help lock in moisture and repair your skin’s barrier.
2. Exfoliate Wisely
Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells that can build up as the weather cools down. A gentle chemical peel, such as our October BOO-TOX special on chemical peels, can help refresh your complexion and smooth your skin. Be careful not to over-exfoliate, though—once or twice a week is plenty to keep your skin bright without irritation.
3. Don’t Skip the SPF
Just because summer’s over doesn’t mean you can toss your sunscreen! UV rays are still strong in the fall, even on cloudy days. Keep using broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from premature aging and sun damage.
4. Add Nourishing Serums
Fall is the perfect time to introduce a serum rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Think Vitamin C to brighten and even out your skin tone or retinol to help with cell turnover and keep your skin smooth. These additions can help reverse any summer sun damage and prepare your skin for winter.
5. Book a Professional Treatment
Autumn is the ideal time to book treatments that help renew and refresh your skin after the summer sun. Our Vampire Facial (Microneedling with PRF) or chemical peels can exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin, keeping it bright and healthy as the seasons change.
6. Don’t Forget Your Lips & Hands
With the cooler weather, your lips and hands can dry out easily. Incorporate a rich, hydrating lip balm and a nourishing hand cream into your routine to keep these areas soft and smooth.
Fall is all about restoring and protecting your skin after a long, sun-filled summer. By adjusting your skincare routine to suit the cooler, drier weather, you’ll keep your complexion glowing and healthy all season long. 🍁
