Now that summer is almost over we have to prepare for the upcoming season and the cold weather that follows. Autumn is the best season for you if you like the autumn fashion and pumpkin spiced everything, but you shouldn’t underestimate the chilly weather’s effect on your skin. The outside factors can be detrimental to our skin which is why it’s very important to have a different skin care routine for each and every season. Here are some tips on how to refresh your beauty routine and make it ready for autumn.
1. Drink enough water
Some people tend to think that if it’s not so hot outside your body doesn’t need that much water. This is to some extent true, your body will need more water when you’re sweating. However, if you’d like to retain that healthy glow to your skin, you should never stop hydrating. Most people don’t drink enough water and the new season offers a great start and motivation to change this awful habit. Have a bottle with you at all times and refill it when you’re done. Also, if you don’t enjoy the taste of water add a couple of droplets of lemon or lime or even add some cucumber slices to your water. This will help you get some much needed vitamins in addition to being more hydrated!
2. Moisturize your skin
Colder weather tends to dry out the exposed skin and our faces are constantly at the mercy to the outside factors. Wind is especially guilty of being a culprit for dry skin. This is why you should get a stronger moisturizer for the autumn and winter months, as opposed to the one you were using during the summer. Look for the ingredients such as the hyaluronic acid and lactic acid since they are exfoliants which are known for hydrating the skin. If you’re still suffering from some dryness you may want to add some facial oils to your routine. Rosehip oil is considered a holy grail for treating dry skin among the experts. Another thing you may want to do is to get a hydrating facial treatment. If you’re in Singapore we suggest you treat yourself to the best facial treatment in Singapore by Face Holistic. Dry and flaky skin will be the thing of the past!
Professional treatments are an essential part of any skincare routine. This is why many Pinellas County residents are getting a hydra facial service in St. Pete which will help you get rid of all the dirt, oil, and blackheads that have accumulated on your face during summer months. This service will not only rejuvenate your skin but also give it a naturally glowing look. Hydra facials are considered to be the best and most effective way to get rid of all the dirt and debris that is stuck in your pores without abrasive scrubbing.
3. Don’t forget about your hands and lips
Another thing that will need some additional care during the chilly autumn months are your hands, lips and hair. Most of us are washing our hands more than ever which combined with the cold air can lead to flaky and cracked hands. Dry skin on our hands can also get quite painful if you’re not treating it with nourishing hand creams, The same goes for your lips as well. Invest into a good lip oil or a chapstick since wind can be pretty tough on the thinnest skin on your body - your lips.
4. Get a self tanner
One of the sad realities about autumn is that us who are quite fair lose our summer tans. If you enjoy having a nice bronzed up look all year round, you should treat yourself to a good self tanner this autumn season! There are a lot of great self tanners on the market which have great moisturizing benefits for your skin. However, be careful when you are choosing the tanning product since some of them can make you look quite orange and unnatural looking. Self tanners are also a great alternative to indoor sunbeds. If you like to stay bronzed, you should avoid the sunbeds since they use UV lights that are said to be the cause of many skin cancers.
