Use That Sunscreen All Year!

Posted: December 16th, 2014

Skin care regimens are very important for every season. Keeping your skin healthy takes year round maintenance. No matter what season of the year it is, it's always important to have a regular total skin care regimen.   Some people seem to pay more attention to their skin during the fall. Climate changes from hot and humid weather to dry and cooler air. We start using indoor heat which tends cause dry skin. Switching around summer and winter clothes changes our moods and some people even feel a bit blue. So maybe with all that's going on in the fall we tend to neglect our skin care. It's best to add a daily skin regimen to our list of things to do for fall and make it a routine.  Some people think sunscreen is only needed and used in the summer season. That couldn't be further from the truth. The sun's UV rays can be harmful in every season. It is very important to use sunscreen if you are out in the sun. Make it a plan to wear sunscreen under your make up every day.   Invest in natural moisturizers and apply frequently throughout the day, immediately after bathing and at bedtime. Oil-based moisturizers such as almond oil, primrose oil and mineral oil work well to create a protective barrier on the skin. Keep moisturizers throughout your home, in your purse and at work for easy access. Remember to always include sunscreen and lip balm to protect your skin from the sun's damaging UVB and UVA rays all year long. Your skin needs protection in every season. Therefore, it cannot be stressed enough how important it is to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin.   Skin care is an important part of our daily routine, and winter brings additional changes that are particularly hard on our delicate skin. Seasonal facials are also very beneficial for your skin care.
