Falling Into Beautiful Skin

Autumn is here! The leaves change, your wardrobe changes, but don't forget your most important accessory...your skin. Your skin care regime should change with the seasons. As we enter into fall, which brings cold, dry air and wind, your skin is up against new elements. Here are some tips to transition into fall with fabulous skin!

Moisturizing

As the air becomes less humid, your skin has less moisture available to it. Switch out your light summer moisturizer for a thicker, creamier one. Facial oils are also a good investment with those that have naturally dry skin to begin with. No more thirsty skin! Bonus tip: Invest in a deep moisturizing night cream so your skin gets quenched as you get your beauty rest.

Exfoliating

When skin become more dry, the dead skin flakes off and is more noticeable during the colder months. No one wants flaky skin! By adding either an exfoliating facial wash or a scrubber along with your daily wash will take all of the flaky dead skin away and leave your skin radiant and smooth. Don't forget about your lips! You can either use a lip sugar scrub or your toothbrush to make sure your lips are flawless and ready for those beautiful dark fall lippies. 

Toner

Depending on your skin type, it may be good to give a toner a try. Some have alcohol, while others are made with less intense ingredients like witch hazel. Toners can help to combat dryness, remove makeup and impurities, tighten skin, and combat acne and breakouts. If your skin is prone to dryness, avoid toners with alcohol. If your skin is more oily, alcohol toners are your friend. Don't be afraid of trial and error.

Sunscreen

Hey, just because you aren't at the beach doesn't mean the sun has left! Sunscreen should be apart of your daily regime no matter what season. Sunscreen helps protect you from the sun's harmful rays and also prevents against premature aging. Make sure you pay attention to the expiration date on your sunscreens for the summer. If they are old, toss them for a brand new bottle.
