Why it’s time to own your natural locks...
A lightweight moisturiser will be enough for most skin types in the summer, but when the weather begins to cool down, it is important to apply something a little heavier to prevent moisture loss. It is recommended to use a pro-remedy oil at night. My personal favourite is La Vallée Ultra Moisturizing Night Cream; I wake up with my skin feeling soft, supple and completely hydrated. If you have dry skin, opt for two layers of moisturising like a serum/oil with lightweight cream, it will help avoid any visible dryness. You can also mix drops of this oil with your foundation for a glowy finish.
This may come as a surprise, but fall (similar to spring) is a season where a tremendous amount of UV damage is incurred. We often think that when the temperatures are cooler outside, the sun isn't as harmful, but this is false. While the UVB rays (the ones responsible for causing suntans or sunburns) are not as strong in autumn, the UVA rays (the ones that cause skin cancer and premature wrinkles) are just as strong as they are in July and August. Protection against these rays is a year-round job. So, be sure to apply a sunscreen formulated for your skin type to the face, neck, and any exposed chest area to shield from direct sunlight.
Because certain skin types are prone to increased sensitivity in summertime from heat, chlorine and sun, exfoliation should be minimal. But come fall, exfoliation is imperative when it comes to repairing and brightening the complexion. For silky, smooth skin, a well-formulated facial scrub or an at-home exfoliating peel is a must. I would recommend you try Body Boom's coffee scrub as it can be used on the face as well and helps with pigmentation and reduces acne scars.
Try to work on these skincare hacks (while also thinking about a change in shampoo and conditioner). A complete skincare routine will ensure your skin is happy all year long.
