Antiaging Fall Skin Care – Fall Back Into the Season!

Now that summer has come to an end, its time to think about your fall skin care. Summer fun and outdoors events will quickly be coming to a close. Hopefully, you’ve been using your sunblock to help deter skin damage during the summer months! If you have, the transition to fall will be a lot easier! An overabundance of UVA and UVB rays can really harm your skin!

Since your skin is one of only two organs of your body that has the ability to regenerate, you can reverse some amount of damage if you have a good skin care plan. Its time to pull out your warmer clothes and get ready to cover up more of your skin! This is especially true if you’ve had a lot of exposure to chlorine, salt water, and the sun. You’ll need to re-hydrate your skin, before you cover it up!

Fall is a time of transitions. The hot sultry sun of summer is replaced by the early morning chill in the air. Make sure your skin is well protected to better prepare for the cold temps that are surely coming!

If you're looking for ways to enhance your fall skin care, follow some of the tips below. Your skin will look radiant well into the winter season!

Fall Skin Care Tips

Hydrate – Your Daily water intake should be about 1/2 of the number of your body weight in ounces. For example, if you weigh 120 lbs, you will want to consume 60 ounces of water each day. Water is essential to help keep your skin plump, soft, and smooth, and water helps flush harmful toxins from your body. Drink water every chance you get to improve your complexion and your skin's overall appearance!

Moisturize – Many sites tell you to switch from a lotion to a cream for fall skin care, but I don’t agree. If for example, you have oily skin, you should always use a water-based lotion. If you have dry skin, you’ll need to use a slightly heavier lotion (or creams instead of lotions) year round too. This does not change with the season. Just be sure to use a lotion of some kind everyday or every other day. Overnight creams are great to use, but every now and again, you should give them a break too! Just stick with a good skin moisturizer and your fall skin care will be easier!

If your skin has a tendency to get dried out when the temperature and humidity falls in autumn and winter, try Regenerist Micro-sculpting Cream. Micro-sculpting cream does a terrific job of moisturizing your skin and giving it a soft, smooth texture almost immediately.

If you don't like to wear a lot of makeup and prefer a more natural look with great looking skin, use Hope In A Jar or Radiance Moisturizer Cream. Both of these fall skin care products have great reviews!

Exfoliate – You’ve most probably put your skin brush aside during the summer months, but since fall is a time of harvest, its time to get it back out. Skin brushing is a great way to exfoliate your skin and help circulate your lymph system to eliminate toxins! If you’ve been using lots of extra suntan oils or other greasy summer products, you may want to exfoliate your face too. I’ve been using St. Ives apricot scrub for years and love the way it works! Dead Sea Salt body scrubs work great too, or you can always make your own! Eat Healthy Fall Produce – Fresh vegetables and fruits can bring out the best in any skin! You should always eat produce that’s in season. It helps to balance the yin/yang in your body. Fall produce includes apples, collards, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, rutabaga, turnips, carrots, eggplant, and acorn squash. Healthy foods will help turn your fall skin care into healthy skin care!

Skin Color – If you have a great tan and don’t want to lose it, use sunless tanning lotions well into the fall! They are a simple edition that can enhance your fall skin care. They’re not just for summer anymore! You can also use an earthy bronzer on your face during the fall for a sun-kissed look! For a more natural, youthful look, apply it in a C shape from your temple, around your cheek bone, and end it just under the apple of your cheek. Do this after you apply a pink or peach blush to your cheek bone, then blend well with a large makeup brush.

Vitamins - Fall is the start of cold and flu season! If you get sick, your skin will pay the price too. If you’re not on a good vitamin regiment, now is the time to think about one. You can boost your immunity with the right vitamins, plus you can feed your skin. Beauty vitamins are B, C, E, and A as Beta Carotene. If you want to have great hair, skin, and nails, take Biotin! Biotin is a B vitamin that helps build strong healthy skin, nails, and hair. If you start taking vitamin supplements now, you’ll be better prepared to make it through the season in good health.

Sunscreens – Even though the sun is getting lower in the sky, remember, you can get burned on a sunny or cloudy day, no matter what season it is! Keep your sunscreens nearby and remember to use them if you’re outside for an extended period of time. Sunscreens are a vital part of any good fall skin care program!

Hands - Moisturize your hands every time you wash them if possible. Dawn dish soap has a new product on the market that claims to moisturize your hands while you wash the dishes. Just be sure the product is within your price range. If not, opt for the cheaper brand dish soap and use a inexpensive lotions after you wash dishes. You can find $1 lotions at any Dollar store. No, they aren’t as great as some other lotions, but if you’re on a tight budget, they can be a God send. Properly moisturized hands will help you look years younger and prevent cracking and some skin discolorations.

Lip Care – Don't forget about your luscious lips during the fall months! Its always a good idea any time of year to use an overnight lip balm. (Also keep one in your pocketbook and beside the computer for easy access!) However, if you’ve got chapped lips, you’ll need a lip moisturizer or lip revitalizer first, then a lip balm. Lip balms are a waxy product and will prevent moisture from reaching the skin underneath. They are used for lip protection, not moisturizing. And never, ever, ever, use petroleum jelly on your skin unless you want to block out moisture. Some women (and movie stars) swear it helps their skin but let me assure you it won’t moisturize it. That is a fictitious claim. Vaseline only works well on oily skin because it helps to hold the natural oils on the skin and block out the elements.

Hair - Your hair is an extension of your skin! During the summer months, your hair can get extremely dry and frizzy because of all the high humidity. Now is a good time to moisturize your hair with a good deep hair conditioner and recolor your hair. If you like the lighter colors that have enhanced your hair during the summer months, you may want to consider adding some darker lowlights to add depth and dimension. If you've ever wanted to add them yourself and cut out the expense of going to a salon, you can easily learn how to color your hair at home!

To add moisture, use deep moisturizing treatments occasionally. Your hair and nails need as much, if not more, moisture than your skin because they are always exposed to the elements!

So get ready for fall with these fall skin care tips! You'll get your skin prepared for the temperature changes that come soon as winter season chills the air!
