This season’s crisp air, lower humidity, and cooler temperatures can take a toll on both your skin and hair. This is a beautiful time of year, but it can be harsh if you don’t adjust your routine. Here are some skin and hair hacks to keep you looking and feeling your best!
Upgrade to a Richer Moisturizer
With our cooler and drier air, it’s time to use richer products that provide more hydration. Look for moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides, which are excellent for locking in moisture.
- Pro Tip: Add a few drops of a hyaluronic acid serum to your moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration.
Gently Exfoliate
While exfoliation is essential for removing dead skin cells, overdoing it can lead to dryness and irritation. Opt for a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week to keep your skin smooth without stripping away its natural oils.
- Pro Tip: A mild, enzyme-based exfoliant or an oatmeal scrub can work wonders.
Scalp Care is Hair Care
Your scalp can easily become dry and itchy in cooler weather. A healthy scalp is essential for beautiful hair, so focus on nourishing it with treatments like scalp oils or masks.
- Pro Tip: Look for ingredients like tea tree oil to combat dryness or aloe vera to soothe irritation. Also add a hair mask to your weekly routine.
Opt for Lukewarm Showers
As tempting as a hot shower may be when the weather cools down, it can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and flaky. Stick to lukewarm water instead.
- Pro Tip: Finish off your shower with a cool rinse to seal in moisture and boost circulation.
Revive Dull Skin with Aesthetic Treatments
Your skin can benefit from a quick pick-me-up throughout the day with a hydrating facial mist. And give your skin a great professional aesthetic treatment.
- Pro Tip: We recommend microdermabrasion to shed those unwanted skin cells, and Secret RF to improve signs of aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and scars with little to no downtime.
A few more hacks
We know you hear this from us a lot, but these are still worth repeating here:
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and eat hydrating foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges.
- Don’t Forget Sunscreen: Make sure to continue using sunscreen every day. Opt for a moisturizing sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin while keeping it hydrated.
- Protect Your Lips: Chapped lips are a common problem. Keep a hydrating lip balm handy and apply it regularly.
