Five Fall Skin Care Tips
Fall is in the air, and while many of us love the cooler temperatures and beautiful autumn leaves, the arrival of fall means that the drier, harsher weather of winter is soon to come. Since these conditions can be difficult on your skin, it’s best to plan ahead and adjust your skin care routine and skin care products now. From moisture-maximizing advice to pointers on how to keep that summer glow going, here are five fall skin care tips from the experts at Murad to help keep your skin healthy and beautiful from now through winter.
Fall Skin Care Tip #1: Use Moisturizer
The air begins to dry out in the fall and will continue to get drier and drier as winter approaches. If you aren’t already, begin using an antioxidant-based, moisture-rich cream not only on your face but also on your body. Be sure to get into the habit of using both a day time moisturizer and a night time cream to intensely hydrate your skin. As the air gets drier in the fall and winter, skin can become red or irritated or even break out from over-drying. And when your skin is dry, fine lines and wrinkles are more apparent. Keep your skin hydrated and healthy by eating water-rich foods and applying moisturizer daily. Just because the leaves are dry doesn’t mean that your skin has to be dry too!
Fall Skin Care Tip #2: Don’t Relax on Using Sun Screen
Just because you’re not running around in the summer sunshine any longer doesn’t mean that it’s okay to stop using sun block or sun screen. The sun can harm your skin at any time of year, worsening the visible signs of aging, such as age spots and wrinkles, and causing serious, long-term damage. Make sure you apply daily sun protection to your face and any other exposed skin all fall and winter long. Your daily moisturizer may provide a sufficient SPF for your basic day time needs. However, if you lead a more active lifestyle and spend more time outdoors, be sure to choose a waterproof or longer-lasting sun protection product.
Fall Skin Care Tip #3: Begin a Back Acne Treatment Regimen
Fall weather brings fall wardrobes. Often, that means heavy or layered clothing that can trap oil and surface dirt against the skin. Though sun exposure is not an effective acne treatment solution, it can conceal or dry out back and body acne. That’s why these types of acne are more likely to surface during the fall and winter months. To keep the skin on your back and body clear through spring, begin a back acne treatment regimen with Murad Acne Body Wash and Murad Clarifying Body Spray. Another common cause of body breakouts is the fragrance in common household items like detergent, fabric softener, lotion and hair care products. So if you suffer from bacne, it’s best to stick with laundry products and toiletries that are fragrance-free.
Fall Skin Care Tip #4: Use an Eye Treatment Cream
The arid fall weather can be especially drying to the sensitive skin around your eyes. This skin doesn’t have its own oil-producing glands, making it very delicate and particularly susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. To keep your eyes youthful-looking, be sure to use a moisturizing eye treatment cream daily. Murad Hydro-Dynamic® Ultimate Moisture for eyes is not only an intense moisturizer but gets rave reviews from the press and customers alike.
Fall Skin Care Tip #5: Buy a Skin Bronzer
Warm, bronzed skin may look better with fall’s warmer fashion colors, but avoid the tanning bed, which is damaging to your skin. Instead, get a beautiful glow with a healthy skin bronzer such as Murad Hybrids® Absolute Bronzing Boost SPF 15 | PA++. This oil-free bronzer protects as it firms, all while giving you a gorgeous, guilt-free glow!
