As the leaves change and the crisp autumn air sets in, our skin’s appearance can take a hit. Dryness, dullness, and irritation can become major concerns, but don’t worry! SKIN MD Michigan is here to share our top fall skincare tips to keep your complexion radiant and healthy all season long. 1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize! Fall's dry air and wind can strip your skin of its natural moisture, leading to tightness, redness, flakiness, and irritation. Combat this by: Switching to a rich, hydrating moisturizer with powerhouse ingredients like hyaluronic acid Applying your moisturizer immediately after bathing or showering while your skin is still damp to lock in extra moisture We know it’s tempting, but avoid showering or bathing in water that’s too hot! Exfoliating 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells 2. Protect Your Skin from Wind and Cold Harsh winds and chilly temps can cause: Redness and irritation Dryness and chapping Premature aging Fight back with: A gentle, nourishing cleanser and moisturizer A soothing, hydrating mask 1-2 times a week A broad-spectrum sunscreen (yes, still necessary in fall!)
