Fall is coming and that means a change in the weather won't be far behind! It's never more important to care for your skin than during the change of seasons, when varying weather conditions and changing temperatures can damage your skin before you've adjusted your skin care routine.
Enviromental Protection
As the temperatures begin to drop, that new chill can surprise and chap your skin. Also, the heat in the house may begin to come on, drying you out even more. Be sure that your skin is hydrated and your lips are covered.
- Switch to a heavier moisturizer as fall approaches, or add a nighttime oil if you don't use one in summer. Jojoba oil, olive oil, and coconut oil all make wonderful natural moisturizers, especially at night, when the body is at rest. Be sure to keep your lips covered with balm or glosses that are infused with antioxidants
- Also, don't forget to drink your daily allotment of water and eat foods containing essential fatty acids! Hydrating your skin from the inside helps dry skin immensely.
- Don't forget that the sun is still hanging around! Just because temperatures are cooler doesn't mean that you can't get burned or aged by the sun. Your skin still needs protection from UV rays, so don’t forget sunscreen. And remember, sunscreen in your foundation alone is not enough.

Deep Cleaning
Most of us think of seasonal cleaning as “spring cleaning.” But a deep cleansing of the skin is a great idea in the fall, too. Because of the change in weather your overall skincare regimen may have to be adjusted just a bit. This is also the perfect time to begin having deep cleansing facials.
Exfoliate! Fall is a great time to begin treatments such as glycolic peels, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. These treatments are great ways to achieve deeper means of exfoliation and leave the skin looking its best. Incorporating a hydrating masque weekly will help to retain moisture also.
