HFD Team Summer is coming to an end and naturally, you start rummaging in the wardrobe in search of warm, autumn clothes. And did you take care of your skin?
In summer, we use skin products with a light texture and non-greasy. This is because hot, humid air and sweat lubricate the skin. At this point, a greasy cream will only clog the pores and lead to inflammation and pimples.
When summer is gone, however, and autumn has come, the air becomes drier and colder. Then, skin conditions such as eczema, dandruff and psoriasis worsen and the skin becomes drier and more sensitive. Redness, itching and flaking appear. Fortunately, you can avoid all this with the right facial cosmetics .
Your skin can be just as radiant and beautiful in the fall, you just have to take care of it the right way. Here are the changes you need to make to make your skin feel good during the cold months.
Why My Skin Is So Dry In The Fall
In autumn and especially in winter, the drop in humidity, cooler weather, hot showers and radiators dry out the skin and damage the skin barrier. When the skin barrier is broken, the skin becomes sensitive, leading to cracks in its outer layer, loss of hydration and eventually inflammation.
To soothe these negative seasonal effects on the skin, hydration is crucial.
When To Change My Care Regimen
The period between autumn and summer can be quite insidious. One day it is warm enough to think about the beach. And on the other you start looking for your favorite sweaters. But despite the changing weather, there are a few things that will tell you that it’s time to change your skin care regimen.
If you can’t leave home without an outer garment, it may be time to consider changing regimes. It is also important to listen to your body. If your skin is dry and sensitive, it will immediately show you that it needs more hydration.
Here are the changes to make in the various steps of your regimen:
1. Cleaning Products
Cleansing gels and foams stop the overproduction of sebum and are a real gift in the summer. But when autumn comes, the skin dries on its own. Then, such a product can cause more irritation than help clean the skin. Instead, choose a gentle, cleansing product with a creamy formula that will cleanse the skin without irritating it.
2. Moisturizing Creams
During the summer, a light lotion or cream with a toning effect may be enough to keep the skin moisturized and supple, but as soon as the temperature drops, this should change. Keeping the skin hydrated is a basic rule of care in the winter.
To build protection against dry skin, choose a rich, moisturizing cream. In general, ingredients such as glycerin, ceramides and niacin provide well-hydrated skin, as well as a healthy and intact skin barrier.
For the driest skin types and those with eczema and psoriasis, choose creams and ointments containing Vaseline.
To help your skin absorb the cream as well as possible, use the following method, often used by dermatologists. After washing the skin, absorb it with light movements without drying it completely. Apply a face cream while the skin is still moist to keep as much moisture in it as possible.
3. Facial Serums
If you want to nourish your skin, apply a moisturizing serum before your face cream. This will give your skin an extra dose of hydration and will help it recover as quickly as possible for beautiful and thick skin.
4. Sun Protection
UVA rays – long waves of sunlight that penetrate the dermis of the skin, break down collagen and elastin, which contributes to sun spots, sagging skin and the appearance of wrinkles – dominate during the winter months. And even worse: low temperatures make it harder to feel the effects of the beam on your skin, which can lead to serious sun damage without even noticing.
During the cold months, it is important to choose a sunscreen labeled “broad spectrum”, as the SPF rating only applies to protection against UVB, not UVA light.
5. Exfoliation And Masks
During the cold months, avoid masks and scrubs with too large particles, because they can further dry and injure the skin. If you still want to exfoliate dead skin, do it once a week with a fine exfoliant that does not irritate the skin too much. See also our natural face masks.
6. Lip Care
If you think that the lips do not need extra care in the fall and winter, you are wrong. To avoid dry and chapped lips, use a lip balm with Vaseline, which will protect them from the cold, soften and nourish them.
