As summer gives way to fall and winter, our skin can lose the extra moisture it enjoyed during the humid summer months. The transition to cooler and drier air often leaves skin feeling dry and flaky. To combat this, it’s essential to adapt your skincare routine to better suit the changing climate.
To guide you through this seasonal shift, the skin experts at Aesthetic Specialists recommend these tips for creating an effective fall and winter skincare regimen:
Don’t Stop Your SPF
Even when the sun seems weaker in the fall and winter, UVA and UVB rays can still harm your skin, even on cloudy days. To ensure year-round protection, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF everyday.
Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells and prepares your skin for better absorption of other skincare products. We recommend exfoliating your face 1-3 times a week with Zo Skin Health Exfoliating Polish and to follow up with a moisturizer.
Incorporate Rich Moisturizers
Replace lightweight summer moisturizers with richer, more hydrating alternatives such as SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 Moisturizer. In addition, consider adding in a hydrating serum to your routine to boost hydration in your skin. One of our favorite serums that delivers instant hydration is the Alastin Skincare HA (Hyaluronic Acid) IMMERSE Serum.
Schedule Professional Treatments
For a fall skin refresh, consider a Hydrafacial treatment. This comprehensive procedure cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin using a stream of serum-infused water and gentle suction. In addition, our experts can add personalized, medical-grade boosters to address specific concerns like fine lines, dark spots, or uneven skin tone.
Professional treatments are particularly advantageous in the cooler months when reduced sun exposure can make recovery more manageable. Popular options include:
- Hydrafacial
- Sciton BBL
- Sciton Moxi
- Sciton HALO
- SkinPen microneedling
