As the seasons transition it’s always an opportunity to reassess your regimen. The variations, in climate can significantly impact what measures you should take to enhance the health of your skin considering factors such, as humidity, heat, cold winds and chilly weather. Lets explore some skincare suggestions specifically tailored for the autumn season.
Use a Night Cream
If you haven’t started using a night cream now is the time to incorporate it into your daily skincare routine during the fall season. It’s important to keep your skin hydrated as the weather turns colder and those chilly winds tend to dry it out. Since you’re about to go to bed applying a cream at night becomes convenient without having to worry about makeup or other skincare products. Once you’ve cleansed your face in the evening simply apply your chosen night cream. Allow it a few minutes to settle before going to sleep.
When selecting a night cream it’s advisable to check the ingredients list and ensure that none of them have the potential to irritate your skin.
Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliating is usually a summer activity. Theres no reason why you can’t continue doing it during the fall. Just make sure to switch to a milder exfoliating product. As the weather gets colder your skin tends to become more sensitive and often drier. If you notice any cracks or experiencing any kind of skin irritation it’s best to avoid exfoliating. However on days when your skin is, in condition feel free to exfoliate. This will help eliminate skin cells and reveal the skin underneath.
Keep Using Sunscreen
A very common mistake made in the fall and winter is skipping the sunscreen. Just because it doesn’t feel hot outside, does not mean the sun can’t do damage to your skin! You need to use it every single day before you go outside, as there is always going to be sun exposure fi you are out during the day, regardless of the temperature. Get a good sunscreen that is gentle on your skin and can be worn all day.
Dandruff Shampoo
In the fall, the colder temperature can also mean dry scalp. If you have a problem with an itchy and flaky scalp in the fall, you are not alone! There is no need to be embarrassed just use an anti-dandruff shampoo once a week or when your scalp flares up, and you will find some great relief.
