5 Skincare Tips for Fall
While we may still be dreaming of summer days full of sun, sand and surf, the crisp, fresh dry air of fall has moved in.
Fall is a beautiful time of year. The air is refreshing and cool, the mornings are cold and the days warm as the sun comes up. With the change of seasons, there is a drastic shift in how our skin feels, and thus we must find new ways to care for our skins needs. Here are my top five tips for treating your skin in order to improve your skin hydration, appearance and overall health.
1) Get a Professional Facial: As an esthetician, I often suggest people at least get facials seasonally, for with each change of season, brings challenges and changes in our skin. The shift from summer to fall is an important time to think about coming in for a facial. Summer may be fun, but the elements of sun, sand and surf tend to leave our skin dull, dehydrated and dry and there may be hyperpigmentation that has developed over the summer that needs addressing. A professional facial will focus on providing a deep exfoliation, address your personal skincare needs and nourish and boost your skins health. A treatment like this will remove built up dead skin and allow the products you use on a daily basis to work better. Schedule your facial today!
2) Switch to a Moisturizing Cleanser: With the drop in temperatures as the season changes, the humidity drops as well. This leads to our skin losing moisture to the air. Hydration is key. Using a cream cleanser, such as Earth Harbor's Ahoy Love is a gentle and purifying cleanser that will nourish your skin with incredible nutrient rich ingredients like seaweed extracts, hibiscus extract, green tea, aloe vera to feed, hydrate and soothe inflammation, while supporting your skins natural barrier, which is your bodies first line of immunity defense.
3) Find a Nourishing Skin Booster: Ampoules, Serums, oh my! Rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins, peptides and other incredible ingredients that will leave your skin feeling soft, supple and looking young, rejuvenated and vibrant. Adding a booster to your daily regime will transform your skin health! In the fall it is especially important to add a booster or two that will support your skins needs as the elements change with the wind. I highly suggest Earth Harbors Naturals Helios Serum, Cloudburst, Celestine or Aurora. They all benefit individual skin challenges and can work in conjunction as well.
4) Don't forget Essential Oils: Yarrow Pom, Verage serum or Immortelle, Myrrh, Frankincense, Rose, Blue Tansy... Are just a few of my favorite skin oils. Apply your oils on top of your booster. The incredibly small molecular structure of essential oils allows the oils to help other products penetrate deeper into the skin to feed your skin and improve its over all appearance starting at the cellular level. In a world were 2/3rd of all essential oils are adulterated with synthetic (lab created chemicals), and the bottle can still be labeled 100% pure, it is pertinent to learn more about how to get the highest quality, pharmaceutical grade oils you can get your hands on. Working with me you don't just get the best essentials available, you also get support and education. Learn more on how to get oils in your hands
5) Weekly Mask Treatments: Hydrate with a Mask that will gently exfoliate, nourish with nutrients, hydrate and protect. Earth Harbor Naturals Nymph Nectar balm is similar to a lip balm when you look at it, but apply a thin layer to your clean skin. Let it rest for just a few minutes or even over night. Remove with a warm cloth and reveal velvety soft skin.
Remember, to maintain healthy happy skin, It is important to hydrate, nourish, feed and heal your skin with clean, natural products that will revive, rejuvenate and refresh your skin, leaving you to glow in your natural beauty.
