As we near the end of summer and transition into the cooler months of fall, your skin’s needs will begin to change. In our blog post from last year, Tips for Transitioning Your Skin With the Seasons, you’ll find recommendations for updating the basics of your skincare routine and lifestyle. Keep reading for a deep dive into replenishing moisture, combatting dry air, and protecting your skin from sun damage.

Replenish Moisture

Cream & Moisturizer

Do you notice that your skin feels more dehydrated in the fall and winter? This is a sign that it may be time to switch to a heavier cream to replenish your skin’s moisture levels. Think of it as compensating for the decline in moisture by adding more hydration to the skin. Elemental Herbology’s Cell Active Rejuvenation Moisturizer will increase hydration and improve skin tone. For sensitive skin, we love Jurlique’s Calendula Redness Rescue Soothing Moisturizing Cream. This cream is enriched with rosehip oil to help retain hydration.

If you do not already use a lip moisturizer and an eye cream, now is a great time to start! Adding moisture to all aspects of your skincare routine will help with the seasonal transition so you can maintain your beautiful summer glow throughout the colder months.

Cleanser

Just like a heavier moisturizer may be in order, you should also consider a more nourishing cleanser. Elemental Herbology’s Bio-Cellular Super Cleanse has an AHA complex and Vitamin C to help exfoliate and brighten dull skin.

Combat Dry Air

Central indoor heating, the drop in temperature, and the natural dry mountain air can have dehydrating effects on your skin like itching, flaking, and a decrease in elasticity. Put a humidifier in your bedroom or office to ensure the air around you is humid enough to counteract dry skin.

Avoid Hot Water

While colder weather makes a steamy shower or hot bath sound enticing, remember that extremely hot water temperatures disrupt your skin’s natural oil production, contributing to dehydration. Like many things, moderation is key when it comes to hot showers.

When you dry off your body after a bath or shower, gently pat your skin dry rather than rubbing it. This will ensure you avoid harsh, physical exfoliation and will allow your skin the chance to retain more moisture.

Don’t Skimp on SPF

Just because the temperature is dropping doesn’t mean you aren’t susceptible to sun damage. Quality sun protection is especially important if you live at a high altitude. Our summer blog post, Sun Protection & After-Sun Skincare, is packed with information including chemicals to watch for in various sunscreens, why our all-natural sunscreens can be a better alternative, preventative measures to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, and after-sun skincare products.
