"If you are anything like me, then you probably are not looking forward to the upcoming seasonal switch (I’m a summer baby) but let’s face it…it’s going to happen so let’s get prepared! Here are 3 ways to prep your skin for the transition from Summer to Fall/Winter...
Our skin is mostly made of water and oils & in the winter, skin typically tends to lack water more than oil. So, to replenish the water, try to find a moisturizer that is water based & oil free. You want to make sure that you have good balance of water and oil, so using a product that isn’t oil free could end up leaving your skin too oily which can cause unwanted breakouts.
Make sure you are washing your face 2x daily, before bed & in the morning (and using just water won’t cut it)! If you typically wash your face with a gel cleanser, consider switching to a cream cleanser for the fall and winter months (Cetaphil Cleanser $10 to $12 local drug store or Amazon.com). Cream based cleaners tend to be a little more moisturizing than gel, which is key for those winter months.
Contrary to popular belief, sunscreen isn’t just made for the months of May- August! SPF is crucial to your beauty regiment and should be worn everyday. To keep it simple, find a moisturizer that has SPF built in (nothing less than SPF 15). Using a product daily, that contains SPF, keeps your skin fresh and vibrant longer by reducing the wrinkling process, the appearance of sun-spots, & the evil “C” word…Cancer!"
