Tips for Dry Skin:
- Hydration, Hydration, Hydration is key when weather changes from warm to cold. It’s easy to know when the time has arrived as your skin will start drying out. This is the right time to make some changes to your skin care routine. You don’t have to change out a whole lot but you would want to change from a light moisturizer to a heavier one and even consider adding in a good hydrating serum. Additionally, you may want to change out your cleanser to something a bit more hydrating too. And if you don’t feel like you need all of this extra hydration every day then rotating products is a fantastic idea. You might wear a light moisturizer in the morning and a heavier one at night or rotate them every 2-3 days.
- Retinols/Tretinoins are for both anti-aging, pigmentation and acne and for the same reasons. It’s out with the old skin and up with the new skin. Its continual cell turnover that wins the game. Many people will discontinue use of retinols in the summer due to sun exposure so now is a great time to get back on them.
- Wash your skin every single night whether you wear makeup or not during the day. Just washing with a cleanser, patting dry the skin and applying a moisturizer before bed is the greatest gift you can give your skin for not only dryness but for overall anti-aging. Your skin will be nice and dewy in the morning and this is your ticket to combatting dryness.
Other Treatment Options To Give Your Skin a Jump Start:
As soon as the weather starts changing in the Fall it is a great time to get in for a facial. This is just a way to rejuvenate your skin out of Summer and into Fall.
- A great microdermabrasion or oxygen facial will get you back to a much cleaner slate and prepare your skin for the change that is coming.
- An IPL Photo Facial will help remove the pigment (reds and browns) that your skin picked up over the summer. IPL Photo Facials treatments are done less in the summer due to UV rays and the fact that you don’t want to take two steps forward and one step back with sun exposure as we are targeting pigment.
If you are looking for a more aggressive treatment, Advanced Skin Therapy also does skin resurfacing, lasers, or deeper chemical peels in the fall/winter time as well. With UVB rays diminished in the cooler months, it’s the perfect time for these deeper treatments.
