Get Ready for Fall: Skincare Tips for the New Season

During season changes, skincare has to change as well. What worked to keep skin moist and healthy in the summer will not do the trick once the weather becomes colder and drier. The skin, hair and nails tend to dry out, and the changing season also requires changing personal care scents and colors.

First, because skin can quickly become dry, fall is the perfect time to cut soap out of a shower regimen. Instead, you should choose cream cleansers. Additionally, highly scented shower gels can be very drying because of the added fragrance.

Second, you must moisturize after a shower. Light lotions are good for the summer, but the skin needs a heavy barrier against moisture loss in the winter. Opt for heavier creams or oil-based moisturizers with cocoa butter, shea butter or argan oil.

Third, Fall is the time to change colors and scents over to something darker than that which was used in the summer. Floral and fruit scents are great during the summer; musky, woodsy scents are perfect for fall. In addition, while pastel nail polish is light and dainty enough for summer, dark reds, purples and grays are in for fall.

Finally, remember that the sun does not leave just because summer warmth is gone. It is vital to continue to use sunscreen over the body as well as on the face throughout the fall and winter. SPF 15 is a great start although some with very fair skin may prefer SPF 30. Moisturizing is key for fall. A skincare or spa professional can help individuals analyze their skin to determine the fall regimen that will be perfect for them. Those looking for a time of relaxation at a day spa in Austin should call NAAVA Salon & Spa to book an appointment.
