Is it cold? Is it warm? I would say it’s a bit of both, throw in some wind and you get the ‘in-between’ season called Autumn. But what does this have anything to do with our skin? Our skin changes with the seasons and as the weather cools, our skin becomes drier, dehydrated and more easily irritated.
As we head into Autumn, I thought I would share my top 5 skin tips for this season to help you get through!
Pro Tip #1- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
This is true for all seasons, especially Autumn. Hydrating the skin is important for maintaining skin health. Drink plenty of water, but also include an essential fatty acid to replenish those skin cells and maintain the skin's barrier function to keep it hydrated.
I recommend the Bestow Beauty Plus Oil. Shop Here.
Pro Tip #2 - Restore those dry, cracked lips!
Windy days are a common theme in autumn and the lips are vulnerable to it. Add in a rich, protective lip balm to prevent windburn while also repairing and nourishing the lips.
My favourite one is the Image Ormedic Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex. Shop Here.
Pro Tip #3 - Exfoliate and hydrate the body.
You're not alone if you forget to exfoliate and moisturise your skin. This is a friendly reminder to incorporate a dry body brush and a body cream into your routine to replenish any dry or dehydrated skin.
The ultimate duo for this step is the Bestow Beauty Body Brush (shop here) and the Pure Fiji Hydrating Body Lotion (shop here).
Pro Tip #4 - Protect and hydrate those hands.
Invest a nourishing hand cream. Keep it in your bag or car, because you never know when you'll need to hydrate those hands as the cooler months approach.
I have recently been loving the HydroPeptide Solar Defense Hand Guard. Shop here.
Pro Tip #5 - LED & Skin Treatments
While it is entirely within your control to nourish and replenish the skin through skincare, it is always beneficial to boost your results by having monthly skin treatments and LED. This is where we, as Dermal Therapists, can help you with the seasonal changes and bring out your best skin.
