Transitioning into Fall: Skincare edition
The time has come where we are getting ready to go pumpkin and apple picking wearing light jackets and cozy sweaters. Picture it: Hot cocoa on a fall evening, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow playing on tv in the background while you’re cuddled up in a warm fuzzy throw blanket. YEP. Sounds incredible. Sounds like Fall.
But what does this mean for SKINCARE?
Our skin is alive and changes with the seasons. Ever feel more dry in the winter? Ever feel super dehydrated in the Fall? As we move into cooler months our bodies need more hydration, exfoliation and moisture. Even if you have oily skin, you still need moisture added daily so the skin doesn’t dry out or overcompensate!
Sensitive Skin is especially in need of hydration and TLC during the cooler transitional months. WHY?
Triggers like wind, warm drinks and hot food (soup, tea, hot cocoa etc) can all inflame sensitive skin and cause more redness, dry patches and sensitivity!
Some key takeaways for the Fall Season for each skin type and the products I recommend from GlyMedPlus Skincare! Remember to sign up HERE and that will allow you to purchase professional grade products from the comfort of your home if you cannot get into the spa studio for a product refresh!
ALL SKIN:
Stay hydrated inside and out! GlyMedPlus Ultra Hydro Gel is a fan favorite at Skin By Ariana as it is a gel formulation and holds 1000x it’s weight in water. Apply to damp skin Am and PM right after cleansing! Proceed with your skin routine.
Dry Skin:
Use a thicker cleanser and moisturizer with ceramides for lipid retention! GlyMedPlus Vitamin E cream is perfect for this. Ceramides help retain moisture, protect against environmental factors like pollution and weather (wind) and help with maintain a healthy and balanced skin barrier!
Oily Skin:
Use a WATER based moisturizer or a light balancing oily skin safe moisturizer like the GlyMedPlus Daily Repair Moisturizer both AM and PM!
Combination Skin:
MASK IT UP. Grab yourself two masks- one targeting the dryer, dehydrated outer edges of your face , and one for the more oily and congested nose and chin! GlyMedPlus Hydratherapy Mask & GlyMedPlus Clarifying Mask are fan faves!
Sensitive Skin ( anyone can have sensitive skin!!):
Use an occlusive non comedogenic ointment on sensitive areas overnight! It helps lock in moisture, hydration and keeps the skin from peeling or feeling red and irritated ! GlyMedPlusCell Protection Balm is a cult fave and works wonders! Think Aquaphor but for the face!
