Fall into Winter Skincare: Keep Your Skin Hydrated
As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, our skin feels the shift too. Transitioning from summer into fall and winter requires a tweak in our skincare routine to keep our skin hydrated, healthy, and glowing. Here are some quick tips to keeping your skin happy through the chillier months ahead:
Switch to a Gentle Cleanser
During the warmer months, we often use foaming cleansers to tackle excess oil and sweat. In cooler weather, however, these can be too harsh and strip our skin of essential moisture. Opt for a gentle, hydrating cleanser that cleans without drying, such as a creamy or milk-based cleanser
Layer Up on Moisture
When the air turns dry, your skin needs a boost. Start with a hydrating serum containing hyaluronic acid to draw in moisture, then layer a rich moisturizer to lock it in. Consider switching to a thicker cream for extra hydration, especially if your skin tends to feel tight or flaky
Humidify Your Space
Indoor heating can quickly dry out the air, and your skin with it. Investing in a humidifier can help maintain moisture levels in your home, keeping your skin (and even your hair) more hydrated throughout the season
Treat Your Skin to Weekly Masks
Weekly hydrating masks are a great way to give your skin and extra boost. Look for masks with ingredients like aloe vera, honey, glycerin, which deeply hydrate and can calm dry, irritated skin
Don’t Forget Your SPF
Even though the sun may not feel as strong, harmful UV rays are still present in fall and winter. A broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 should remain a non-negotiable part of your skincare routine
Making these small adjustments as we transition into fall and winter can help keep your skin comfortable, hydrated, and glowing. Take the time to listen to your skin and give it the care it deserves all season long!
