Keeping Your Glow Post-Summer

As we say goodbye to summer and welcome the falling leaves, and crisp fall air, we must not forget to keep up with our skin routine. With the cooler temps comes inclement weather that can cause our skin to need more attention. Although you may be prepping to cover up in warmer, cozier clothes, maintaining the appearance of a summer glow is something you can continue no matter the time of year. You’ve spent the warm spring and hot summer devoting to getting your skin smooth, soft, and glowing with a gorgeous tan, so keep your skin at its best for the new seasons ahead.

Stay protected

Just because the summer season is over doesn’t mean the sun, or its harsh rays will be leaving. UV rays are still present during cooler months, meaning sun damage remains possible (especially on freshly waxed areas). You have to keep your skin protected. Don’t ditch your daily sunscreen application. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 should be a staple of your skincare routine year-round. Sunscreens have the power to protect the skin not only from the sun but from environmental stressors. SPF is also a proven anti-aging method. You can apply your SPF over your serums, toners and moisturizers.

Remove Unwanted Hair

Quite possibly the best way to maintain the look of your summer glow? Keeping your skin healthy and smooth with a wax! A body wax does so much more for your skin than just stripping away hair at the surface. Waxing also cares for your skin by removing surface dirt and debris and also keeping blood properly circulating through the waxed areas. Waxing also helps you improve your skin’s smooth, glowing appearance. Keeping up a monthly waxing regime also helps improve your skin’s texture and softness, allowing more radiant skin to reach the surface. The first step to maintaining gorgeous skin balance is to book an appointment so that the Wax Pros at Depil Brazil can work with you based on your skin type, texture and needs. We can help you achieve smooth, healthy skin, any time, any season.

Exfoliate & Moisturize

Waxing requires you to exfoliate, not only with the aid of the wax itself but also an important part of maintaining your wax results. Because you are required to exfoliate so often, you will gradually keep stubborn hair, and dry and dead skin away, which is critical for those seeking a more glowing, beautiful skin tone. Without proper exfoliation, skin can develop a dull appearance that can be hard to mask regular makeup or bronzing application. During the cool weather months our skin goes through changes like the slowing down cell turnover, which may cause a dip in luminosity. Exfoliation provides the cells a boost. Sloughing away dead skin with a scrub or gentle exfoliant reveals a fresh radiant layer. While you should exfoliate several times per week, your moisturizer provides daily protection. For best skin results, moisturize daily.

Skin & Body Hydration

Your skin is an organ just like any other part of the body, and is a direct reflection of your total body health. Keeping up our water intake is just as important during the months where the air can be dehydrating. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and water-based foods during the day, eat good-for-you foods, and get enough sleep at night. Take in more foods and even skincare products that contain vitamin C. Vitamins C & E help with the formation of collagen, the component of our skin that is responsible for youthful elasticity, hydration, and strength. On the surface, ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin act as a quenching glass of water when applied to the skin.
