Skincare Tips - Fall Fall
is the time you need to re-evaluate your skincare routine and make adjustments,
especially if you are prone to dry skin conditions. By doing this, you will be
able to take some control over chronic skin conditions and best of all, continue
to look great all year.  Switch
from lotion based products to those that are cream based. This will help restore
moisture as well as create a protective barrier against the harsh winter weather.
Exceptions to this rule include those with oily skin and some acne patients.
Start
a lip care program. Envision your lips in January. Keep your lips in shape
now, to help prevent excessive winter chapping. Too many of us forget about dry
cracking lips until it is too late. Fall is the perfect time to boost the hydration
level of your lips and take preventative measures. The use of wax balms is only
effective for preventing dry lips. There is simply not enough moisture in a wax
lip balm to fix dry, cracking lips. By using appropriate products now, you can
prevent those dry, cracked, chapped lips and have luscious lips for New Year's
Eve. Deeply
condition your hair. The sun, chlorine and sweat all take their toll on your
hair, especially if you color it. Brunette hair that has turned orange is a telltale
sign that you color your hair, so now is the time for a touch-up. Make sure you
have your hairstylist use a deep conditioning agent to seal in moisture, and create
great luster. Treat
your nails and cuticles with loving care. Nails become brittle and prone to
breaking with cold, dry weather. Excessive water exposure, such as from swimming,
can also cause nail damage. Use a conditioning agent at least twice a day, even
if you are wearing nail polish. Your cuticles will stay soften and you will be
far less likely to develop splits and hang nails as the weather gets colder. Moisturize
your hands after washing. Nothing ages a woman like dry, cracked skin on the
hands.
Use
gentle soaps that don't strip essential oils from your skin. Anyone using
harsh soaps, antibacterial soaps, or those that contain lots of color and fragrance
may want to rethink this during the winter. These cleansing agents tend to strip
badly needed oils from the skin, and if you are not moisturizing, this becomes
a compounded problem. Use body soaps such as Neutrogena, Cetaphil, Vanicream,
and Purpose. For those looking for a more gentle antibacterial soap, consider
Lever 2000. Anyone with significant dry facial skin concerns at this time of year
should consider Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.
Continue
your sun protection Just because the weather is cooler does not mean the
sun is not as threatening. On the contrary, clouds actually reflect the sun's
rays, increasing your risk. Remember, sun protection isn't just about aging skin,
more importantly it increases your risk of developing skin cancer. Both issues
can be addressed by protecting yourself proactively. And don't forget that any
cream helps hydrate your skin, so your sunscreen may take the place of a moisturizer
for some individuals.
Deal
with your skin discoloration now. If you haven't already been on a maintenance
bleaching program, now is the time to do so for anyone with irregular pigmentation
issues.
Acne
patients and those with oily skin need to re-evaluate their skin therapy.
Using products to really dry out those extra oils your skin manufactures during
the summer are often not tolerated come winter. Switching now to those season-appropriate
items can help prevent you suddenly finding your skin has become red, rough and
irritated. Other
