As the leaves begin to fall and the air turns brisk in South Dakota, your skincare routine may need a seasonal refresh. The transition from summer to fall can wreak havoc on your skin if you're not prepared. But don’t worry—Glow Aesthetics Med Spa, with locations in Corsica, Hartford, Yankton, and Mitchell, is here to help! We asked our team of expert aestheticians to answer your top fall skincare questions, so you can keep your skin glowing and healthy all season long.
How Do I Prevent Dry Skin as the Weather Gets Cooler?
Dry skin is one of the most common complaints during the fall and winter months. Lower humidity levels and indoor heating can strip moisture from your skin, leaving it feeling tight and flaky.
Expert Advice:
Hydration is Key: Use a heavier moisturizer packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin to lock in moisture. If you’re already using a moisturizer but still feel dry, consider layering a hydrating serum underneath.
Don’t Forget About Humidifiers: Adding a humidifier to your bedroom or office can help maintain moisture in the air, which translates to more hydrated skin.
Glow Aesthetics Recommends: A HydraFacial or a deep-moisturizing facial at one of our locations can help replenish hydration and restore balance to dry skin.
Should I Change My Summer Routine Now That It’s Fall?
Yes! Fall is the perfect time to transition your skincare routine to meet the new challenges your skin faces. Summer often leaves behind sun damage, clogged pores, and hyperpigmentation, while fall introduces dryness and sensitivity.
Expert Advice:
Exfoliation Is a Must: Removing dead skin cells is essential to combat dullness. Use a gentle chemical exfoliant with AHA or BHA once or twice a week to maintain a smooth complexion.
Repair and Restore: Incorporate products with antioxidants like vitamin C to repair summer damage and protect your skin from environmental stressors.
Glow Aesthetics Recommends: Chemical peels or microneedling services are excellent options for addressing summer sun damage and improving skin texture.
Can I Still Get Sun Damage in the Fall?
Absolutely! While the sun might not feel as strong, harmful UV rays are present year-round. Protecting your skin from these rays is essential not only for preventing premature aging but also for reducing the risk of skin cancer.
Expert Advice:
Keep Your Sunscreen Handy: Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and use it daily, even on overcast days. Don’t forget to reapply if you’re spending extended time outdoors!
Glow Aesthetics Recommends: Our professional-grade sunscreens are specifically designed for daily use and work seamlessly with makeup.
My Skin Feels Dull. How Can I Get My Glow Back?
Fall is the perfect time to revive your skin after summer has taken its toll. Dullness can result from a buildup of dead skin cells, dehydration, or lack of proper exfoliation.
Expert Advice:
Brighten Things Up: Invest in products with niacinamide, vitamin C, or kojic acid to help brighten your complexion.
Deep Treatments: Incorporate professional treatments to rejuvenate your skin more effectively.
Glow Aesthetics Recommends: Consider treatments like microdermabrasion or LED light therapy to restore your glow and fight dullness.
What Are Some Pro Skincare Tips for Fall?
To truly thrive during the fall season, a comprehensive skincare approach is key. Here are bonus tips from our aestheticians to give your skin the extra care it needs:
Watch the Water Temperature: As tempting as hot showers may be, they can dehydrate your skin. Stick to lukewarm water and pat your skin dry instead of rubbing.
Nourish from Within: Drink plenty of water, and focus on foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon and walnuts, to maintain skin hydration.
Book Regular Treatments: A consistent schedule of professional treatments will enhance your at-home skincare routine.
