Skincare Tips for Fall…
#1. Switch Cleansers
Your skin is always oilier in the summer due to heat and
humidity, so a deeper cleansing face wash was in order. In
Fall and Winter the air becomes more crisp and drier and you
are indoors more with the heat. Find a non-soap product, like
a gentle milking cleanser, which will remove dirt and impurities
but doesn’t strip your skin’s natural oils. If you tend to
be oily in the T-zone, apply an oil free toner to that area
after you cleanse.
#2. Exfoliate
Your skin can appear dull and dry after a summer spent
in the sun or just being outside. Exfoliation can remove
the dull outer layer of skin and unclog pores. For those
of you with sensitive skin, use a gentle facial scrub that
won’t scratch, tear or damage the skin. Solange has three
different kinds of exfoliators based on your skin type.
Glycolic 15% is an extra strength treatment for dry and
mature skin. It helps to smooth rough skin, unclog the pores
and leaves the skin with a beautiful glow. Our Gentle Facial
Scrub is a great treatment for those of you with sensitive
skin. It uses jojoba microbeads dissolve while you massage.
Our latest and greatest exfoliate is our Multi-Enzyme Peel
made from pumpkin and papaya. It dramatically improves clarity
and texture to all skin types leaving the skin radiant.
#3. Add Moisturizer
Whether you used only your sunscreen or skipped moisturizer
altogether in the summer, it is time to add it back. You
should still use a sunscreen everyday, but you should also
use a moisturizer as well. It is especially important to
use a daily moisturizer that has anti-oxidants in it, like
vitamin A, C and E. These ingredients neutralize the damaging
toxins from free radicals such as sun, smoke and pollution.
If you are oily, apply only to dry areas like cheeks.
#4. Use a good eye crème
Older skin is prone to showing fine lines. Sun exposure
exacerbates these problems. An eye treatment can help smooth
the eye area again. Look for a product containing nab mushroom,
an ingredient that effectively holds moisture onto the skin.
Apply it only along the bone underneath your eye. Putting
it too close to the lower lid margin can lead to puffiness.
If you have puffiness try an eye gel that cucumber extract.
#5. Combat brown spots
Post-summer, you may notice more dark spots on your
face. These spots are signs of sun damage. To help remove
them, try a fading serum containing the ingredients NAB
asafetida. Bleaching serums work by slowing the production
of pigment deep in the skin; they usually take a minimum
of six weeks to work.
#6. Get a skin check-up
With over 50,000 new cases of melanoma, the deadliest
skin cancer, diagnosed each year, fall is the perfect time
to schedule a skin check with a dermatologist. This is especially
crucial if you spent your summer in the sun, as moles can
change and become abnormal quickly. A dermatologist can
thoroughly examine your skin so you can clear up any possible
problems before they become serious. |
