It's still warm in many parts of the U.S. but it's not too soon to prepare as summer begins to fade and we welcome the cooler days of the Fall season. Your skin’s needs will naturally shift with the changing season. I’m here to help you navigate this transition smoothly, ensuring that your skin remains healthy and hydrated!
In this month’s blog, I’ll share some tips to adjust your skincare routine, recommend some must-have products, and offer guidance on treatments that can give your skin the boost it needs as we prepare to move into the Fall season.
1. Keep Up With SPF
Just because the days will get shorter and the sun isn’t as intense doesn’t mean you can skip sunscreen. UV rays are still present and can contribute to premature aging and skin damage.
Tip: Continue using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days. Your skin will thank you for the extra protection!
2. Don't Forget to Exfoliate
During the summer, our skin can accumulate dead skin cells due to sun exposure, sunscreen, and sweat. As we move into September, exfoliation becomes crucial to slough away that buildup and reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath.
Tip: Use a gentle exfoliator 1-2 times a week. This will help to prevent clogged pores and improve the absorption of your other skincare products. Just be sure not to overdo it—your skin still needs to retain its natural oils to stay balanced.
3. Hydration is Key
Even if your skin is naturally oily, fall is the time to start layering hydrating products. With the fluctuation from warm to cold temperatures, your skin can lose moisture more quickly, leading to dryness and irritation.
Tip: Add a hydrating serum to your routine, preferably one with hyaluronic acid, which is known for its ability to attract and retain moisture in the skin. Follow it up with your moisturizer to lock in that hydration.
4. Consider a Professional Treatment
Fall is an excellent time to book a professional skincare treatment, including chemical peels. Whether you want to target summer sun damage, boost hydration, or simply give your skin a fresh start, there’s a treatment that can help.
Tip: September is perfect for scheduling a gentle yet effective chemical peel. These treatments can address summer-related concerns and prepare your skin for the upcoming colder months. I’m here to evaluate your skin to recommend the best options for your unique skin needs!
5. Don’t Neglect Your Body
While we often focus on our facial skincare, it’s important not to forget about the skin on the rest of your body. As you start layering up in sweaters and scarves, your body’s skin can become dry and itchy.
Tip: Apply a cleansing oil before your shower to avoid over stripping the skin with cleansing. If you’re dealing with particularly dry areas, like elbows and knees, consider using as a body oil for extra nourishment.
Focus on Self-Care
As the pace of life picks up with the back-to-school season and the lead-up to the holidays, it’s important to remember to take care of yourself. This includes prioritizing your skincare routine as a form of self-care.
Set aside a few minutes each day to pamper your skin. Whether it’s extending your cleansing routine with a mini-facial massage or lighting a candle during your skincare routine, these small moments can make a big difference in how you feel.
Conclusion
September is a time of change and renewal in nature and in our bodies. By making a few adjustments to your daily regimen, you can ensure that your skin stays healthy, hydrated, and glowing as we transition into the cooler months.
