1. Moisturizing is your best friend
As the temperature drops and the wind picks up, your skin loses moisture faster than usual. Replace light summer moisturizers with thicker, more nourishing creams that will create a protective barrier and prevent moisture loss. Products with hyaluronic acid, squalane, or shea and coconut oils are ideal.
2. Don't forget your sun protection 🌞
The sun isn't as active in the fall as it is in the summer, but that doesn't mean you can forget about SPF. Even on cloudy days, UV rays penetrate through the clouds and continue to affect your skin. Use day creams or foundations with an SPF of at least 30.
3. Regular cleansing and gentle exfoliations
Windy weather can cause skin pollution, especially if there is a lot of dust or fine particles in the air. It is important to cleanse your skin daily with mild products that do not over-dry it. Also, add a gentle exfoliation or scrub to your routine 1-2 times a week to remove keratinized cells and prevent flaking.
4- Use serums with antioxidants 🍇 🍇
Antioxidants such as vitamin C and E help fight free radicals that are activated by adverse weather conditions. They will help protect your skin from external factors and keep it glowing.
5. Protect your skin from the wind
If there is a strong wind outside, don't forget to cover your face with a scarf or shawl to protect your skin from the aggressive effects. This is especially important for those who spend a lot of time outdoors or who play outdoor sports.
6. Don't forget about your lips 💋
Lip skin is especially sensitive to wind and cold, so it dries and cracks faster. Use lip balms with moisturizing ingredients and be sure to apply them before going outdoors.
7. Moisturize from the inside out
Don't forget to drink enough water! We often drink less fluids in the fall because it's cooler, but our skin still needs hydration. Warm teas and water with lemon are great ways to help maintain water balance.
8. Include healthy fats in your diet 🥑
The body always needs the right fats, but in the fall they are especially good for the skin. Avocados, fish, nuts and flax seeds contain fatty acids that help your skin stay moisturized and supple.
By sticking to these simple tips, you can keep your skin healthy, smooth and glowing even on the windiest fall days. Take care of yourself and enjoy the beauty of fall without stressing your skin! 🌬️🍁
