Summer is drawing to a close. Is your skin ready? It\u2019s in store for a fairly dramatic transition. After becoming accustomed to the warm, sunny, moist weather of summer, your skin must adapt to the drier, cooler air of fall. Fortunately, it doesn\u2019t have to do it alone. By taking the right steps and using the right products, you can lay the foundation for a seamless transition from summer to fall\u2013and for glowing, beautiful skin throughout the year.<\/p>\n
One of the worst mistakes that people make when fall rolls around is to stop using sunscreen. Just because the weather gets cooler and less sunny doesn\u2019t mean that your skin isn\u2019t still pummeled continuously by damaging UV-A and UV-B rays. You don\u2019t have to use a separate sunscreen if you don\u2019t want. Instead, choose a primer that contains SPF 30 or higher.<\/p>\n
During the summer, a lightweight moisturizer is all that\u2019s typically needed to keep skin from drying out. Cooler weather brings drier air, however, so you\u2019ll need to switch to something heavier and creamier. It\u2019s a bit soon for that, though, so try using a serum beneath a medium-weight moisturizer instead. This gives you the added benefit of using thicker moisturizer while shielding your skin from pore-clogging cream.<\/p>\n
Skin gets drier during the fall, and this makes it more susceptible to damage. Still, don\u2019t stop exfoliating. Just take it a bit easier when you do. After all, the dryness of the season will cause dead skin cells to accumulate quickly. Keep your skin looking fresh and new by using a gentle exfoliant twice a week. After exfoliating, apply a serum and moisturizer.<\/p>\n
The skin around your eyes is especially fine and fragile. Not surprisingly, it doesn\u2019t cope well with constant exposure to dry, cool air. Ward off fine lines and wrinkles in this area by using a moisturizing eye cream. They have special formulas that can be worn at night for exceptional moisture, and there are lighter weight formulas that are perfect for use by day.<\/p>\n
Fall is often a busy time of year. It\u2019s easy to fall off the healthy eating wagon. Healthy skin starts within, though, so get back on track by eating right. Stick with whole foods that are rich in fatty acids and antioxidants. Fish like salmon and seafood like oysters are good for this. As for antioxidants, you\u2019ll get your fill from carrots, blueberries, cucumbers, cauliflower and many other fruits and veggies.<\/p>\n
After being so careful to protect your skin throughout the summer, don\u2019t let that hard work go to waste. By keeping the above advice in mind, you can transition your skin from moist, humid, hot summer weather to cool, dry fall weather with ease. Get on track now to ensure that your skin stays in tip-top shape into the New Year and beyond.<\/p>\n
