Now that the fall weather is quickly approaching, it’s vital to continue with a top skincare routine to keep you looking and feeling great. With chillier temperatures, rainy weather, and falling leaves, you’ll need to adjust your skincare habits for an autumn fresh face. That way, you can celebrate the fall holidays in style. Here are seven ways you can great skin this fall.
1. Choose Healthy Foods
First, take advantage of the great bounty of fall produce and feed your skin with seasonal fruits and vegetables. Choose yummy items such as crisp apples, sweet pumpkins, rich sweet potatoes, or late summer squash and zucchini. You’ll get a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants perfect for your skin. A colorful diet full of great, wholesome foods can help be the building blocks of perfect skin.
2. Use Moisturizer
Next, treat your skin to some high quality moisturizer with a product designed to retain your skin’s supple look. The dry, chilly air that comes with the fall weather may leave your skin feeling tight and uncomfortable. Fight this problem by regularly applying a moisturizer product to your face. Colder temperatures and blowing winds may leave you with windburn or dull skin. The moisturizer can help combat this.
3. Fight Sun Damage
If your summer was a little too sunny and your skin has some discoloration, fall is the perfect time to help reverse the damage. Choose products and creams designed to treat sun spots or cleansers with glycolic acid. This ingredient can help exfoliate your skin in a gentle way and remove some of the sun damage from the summer. It works by removing the outermost skin cells from your face to reveal the fresh skin underneath.
4. Buy a Humidifier
Another helpful tip to keep dryness away is to start using a humidifier in your home. During the fall and winter, the air is naturally much drier, even in your home. You can keep a humidifier running in your living room to help fight the dryness often experienced in the colder seasons. You can also keep one in your bedroom to give your skin a little moisturizing boost. Humidifiers are also great for sinus problems often experienced in the winter and fall.
5. Take Supplements and Vitamins
Supplements and extra vitamins are also a great idea to help boost your skin’s health and appearance. Focus on supplements that contain Vitamin E, Vitamin A, or Vitamin D for best results. Check with your doctor to make sure you don’t pick products that are contraindicated with any medication you may have been prescribed.
6. Don’t Forget Sunscreen
Despite the sun being weaker during this time of year than in the summer, it’s still essential to apply sunscreen each day during the fall. It’s important to do what you can to protect yourself from sun damage, which can age your skin or cause skin cancer. There are many different cancer screening tools and tests, some developed by healthcare leaders like Harry Stylli, you can ask for at your doctor’s office to determine your risk.
7. Stay Hydrated
Finally, drinking water is still a necessity for anyone wanting healthy skin this fall. Even though you may not feel as thirsty during the colder months, your body still needs to be hydrated. You can give your body the necessary tools to stay hydrated with plenty of water. It’s recommended to carry a reusable water bottle during this time of year and constantly refill it as you go through your day. This can help you drink enough water to stay hydrated and healthy.
Your skin has the potential to look amazing all year long if you take care of it. Try these practices to give yourself a warm, autumn glow.
