As North Americans get ready for the transition from warm summer days to crisp fall air and dipping temperatures as the cooler months approach, knowing how to adjust your skincare practices is crucial to avoiding damage and keeping skin looking its best all year round.
At Bloo Pharmapeutica, we know that knowledge is power. Being proactive is one of the best ways to help prevent and delay some of the painful factors that can come with aging skin, including thinning and drying, which can leave the skin more susceptible to long-term damage. Below, we’ll offer some tips to help protect your skin during the transition from summer to fall and highlight the benefits of our brand-new Aqua Miraculorum skincare product. Read on to learn more!
Hydration is Key
One of the most critical aspects of protecting your skin, regardless of the season, is ensuring your dermis is as hydrated as possible. As the weather cools and humidity drops, our skin can quickly become dry and dehydrated, especially in regions that are less humid to begin with. Keep hydration levels consistent by switching to a hydrating cleanser that gently removes impurities (remember harsh products actually strip vital oils away from our skin, as do fragrances, etc), and consider switching to a thicker moisturizer that helps to boost your skin barrier as needed. It’s also crucial to boost your internal hydration by drinking more water and incorporating nutritious foods that help regulate your bodily systems.
Exfoliate Regularly
Dead skin cell buildup can smother cellular turnover and prevent healthy cells from absorbing adequate moisture and other nutrients. Exfoliation helps to prevent dead cells from sitting and congealing on the surface of the skin and allows moisturizers to properly penetrate past the outer layer of the dermis. It’s important to remember, however, that you don’t want to over-exfoliate your skin, which can actually aggravate dryness and cause lasting damage. Opt for gentle methods, and if using chemical products like AHAs, always be aware of the percentage of your formula and mindful of how frequently you exfoliate (usually no more than once to twice a week).
Continue Sun Protection
Sun protection is typically more front of mind during the summer months when long sunny days and hot weather make sun damage more obvious. It’s important to stay on top of protective suncare all year round and to remember that UV rays can damage skin even on cloudy days when the sun is less visible. Always apply a broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outdoors, and continue to wear protective clothing like hats, sunglasses and long sleeves when spending a prolonged period outdoors.
Adjust Your Skincare Products
Seasonal changes often require adjusting the types of skincare products you use. Just like you’ll want to adapt your moisturizer, as we mentioned above, you’ll also want to consider adopting a routine that incorporates antioxidants and gentle retinoids and speaking to a dermatologist about more specific solutions that address your direct needs.
Pay Attention to Your Lips and Hands
The transition to colder weather can lead to dry, chapped lips and hands, both of which can be signs that your skin is suffering overall. Protect your lips using a lip balm with SPF, and invest in a thick, gentle hand cream that’s free of fragrances and other additives to keep your hands hydrated and soft.
