Next Stop....Moisture Town!

Posted: September 14th, 2015

It's that time of year again. Sorry to see summer go, but here comes fall. Fall is a wonderful season. Holidays are coming and parties to be had. The weather will start to make a big change (depending on where you live). So at the first sight of changing leave colors, remember to update your skincare regimen for the fall and winter season. There are many benefits of skin moisturizing in the fall and any season. A daily skin moisturizing routine is a must for great looking skin.  Whatever the season, choose daily skin care products that include solar filters. They reduce the harmful effects of the sun, which accelerates aging skin. Your local day spa can help you with skin care and recommend skin care products for your skin type. Try seasonal facials at the day spa and learn about skin moisturizing techniques for every season.   Safe and effective skin care is important year round, but certain times of year require extra effort. Fall is one of those seasons. After the summer sun leaves your skin and increases opportunities for free radical damage, your skin needs a little bit extra help to recover its glow. The skin builds up a layer of dead skin throughout the summer, and residue from all that sunscreen acts like a barrier, preventing skin care products from penetrating the skin. So a very important first step in the process of repairing sun damaged summer skin is to exfoliate!   A topical vitamin C should also be added to your fall routine to brighten your skin and prevent further free radical damage. Also, use retinol to increase collagen production.
