The Texas heat may have you thinking the Summer is here to stay, but make no mistake, the cooler weather is on the horizon. The start of autumn gets us excited for pumpkin spice and cable-knit sweaters, but it also brings along the chilly breeze and drier air. Dry air causes dull, dry skin. This means you need to step up your skincare routine to maintain your hard earn glow and soft, smooth skin!
The transition into the autumn season also means a change in the way our skin behaves. During the fall and winter seasons, the atmosphere is dry, cool, windy, and erratic. As the temperatures outside drop, the indoor heating goes on and up, which dries out the air in the home. The constant dryness sucks moisture from the skin, causing it to go rough, dry, and dehydrate. It also causes the skin to look pale or greyish. Some people even experience skin conditions like eczema or rosacea.
You probably don’t need to drastically change your skincare routine as we transition into fall, but you will need to make some small changes and stay consistent to ensure your skin stays healthy and smooth. To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of tips to keep your skin glowing throughout the autumn season:
Replenish lost moisturize
With the air getting cooler and dryer, your skin starts to feel the effects of the season. The chilly temps mean drier air which is harsh on our skin. When skin cells lose moisture, they tend to create a dull, listless appearance of the skin. To combat that, we need to use the right moisturizer that can protect the skin like a shield, which helps maintain the natural oil and moisture of your skin and lock in the moisture all day.
As fall settles in, switch to a lotion-based or oil-based moisturizer, like the Copacabana Body and Bath Oil, for your face and skin. When temperatures drop, use your moisturizer twice a day to combat the dryness of autumn.
Switch up Your Cleanser
While a heavy-duty cleanser may be optimal during the hot, humid summer months, this type of product may dry out your skin as the season changes. For the fall, try a non-drying, lightweight cleanser in the morning and at night. This will help clean deep into pores and remove dirt and makeup while nourishing and improving the look and feel of skin on both face and body. Try the Joatinga Gentle Cleanser to feel clean and refreshed all season.
The Sunscreen Sticks Around
The temperatures change but the sun stays around. That means your skin is just a likely to get overexposure to sun rays and sun damage in the fall and winter too. So do not neglect using your sunscreen when you’re outdoors. Even if you plan to wear pants and sweaters, any exposed part of your face and body should be lathered with a moisturizer that includes SPF.
The SPF protection helps keep your skin from suffering damage and preventing wrinkles and sunspots, which in turn helps keep your skin looking healthy youthful. Not to mention protecting you from skin cancer!
Remove Dead Skin
Scrubbing away dead skin cells on the surface leaves your skin looking rejuvenated and feeling softer. The exfoliation process encourages new skin cell growth, which promotes more youthful-looking, healthy skin. Exfoliating dead skin at least 3 times a week will help your skin retain moisture as the air gets crisper and dryer. Plus, removing dead skin will make your moisturizer even more effective.
Use an exfoliating scrub, like Macumba Salt Scrub, while you’re in the bath or shower to help keep your skin smooth and glowing all season long.
Your Entire Body Needs TLC
