The skin, like our entire body, is sensitive to weather changes, which is why it requires different care in winter and autumn than in summer. The most important thing is regeneration after the summer, which marked the skin with discoloration and excessive drying.
What cosmetics to use this time of year, you will learn from this article.
ABC of skincare in the fall
- Do not give up using powder or foundation in autumn, which will be perfect at this time of year as an additional protection of the skin against the influence of capricious weather. Powder and fluid are equally recommended with BB creams and CC creams.
- Take care of gentle face makeup removal due to the skin’s susceptibility to irritation resulting from the loss of ceramides. The product should be alcohol free. Make-up remover milk and micellar water will work best.
- It is also essential to exfoliate dead epidermal cells with a scrub, thanks to which the active ingredients of the cream will more easily penetrate into the lower layers of the skin. For facial skin, acid-based peelings and enzyme peelings are the most recommended, which should be used up to 2 times a week. Coarse-grained peels are avoided with delicate skin, as well as on days when we are extremely exposed to the influence of wind and cold, as they will result in skin irritation and lower resistance to external factors.
- The cream used at the beginning of the day should have a thick consistency to properly protect us from the effects of wind and cold. It is good when it contains a UVA and UVB filter as well as hyaluronic acid or ceramides, which ensure optimal hydration by strengthening the tightness of the epidermis.
- Use hand cream regularly. Let’s get one that contains urea, shea butter, glycerin or plant sterols. In autumn, use a hand scrub once a week. Proper care will allow us to avoid persistent dryness and the feeling of roughness.
- It is recommended that the body lotion be highly concentrated, lubricate, nourish and regenerate. Appropriate density will keep the cosmetic on the skin for longer.
- Protective lipstick will protect against chapping lips. It is worth looking for one that contains cocoa butter, honey or olive oil. Cosmetic petroleum jelly will work just as well.
- It is worth using masks up to 2 times a week, which will strengthen the skin’s resistance to frost.
- Vitamin serum should be distributed at night for a month and a half. Let’s reach for those that contain hyaluronic acid, which is important for the renewal of the epidermis.
- Preparations reducing discoloration in the form of masks or creams will now work best. The sun is not as strong as in summer or winter, so we do not have to worry that this type of cosmetic will react badly to the sun.
