Transition Your Skincare Routine From Summer To Fall

Summer in Nashville is hot and humid, and your skincare reflects that kind of weather. However, with fall on the horizon, it’s time to revisit how you care for your skin as you head into the cooler months.

Autumn will bring in cooler weather here in Middle Tennessee, and the humidity will drop, too. That makes dry, stale air, which dries out your skin. Mix this with the dry heat from indoor heating, and you experience skin disasters like eczema and dry, itchy skin.

The fall season is also a perfect time to reassess your skincare routine. It’s always good to approach skin care seasonally, just like your clothing. Your skin care should change with the seasons.

What Are Some Top Tips For My Autumn Skin Care Routine?

When transitioning your skincare from summer to fall, here are some top tips to consider:

Say goodbye to those lightweight, oil-free moisturizers. It’s time to use heftier hydration, like a heavy cream made with ceramides. Ceramides are essential, healthy fatty acids that occur naturally in the skin but must be replenished during the colder months. Those ceramides are especially crucial, as they serve as a support system for your skin barrier.
Exfoliation can be tricky, because it’s very easy to overdo it. Over-exfoliation can create tiny cracks in your skin barrier that lead to more loss of hydration, as well as inflammation. However, this is the perfect time of year to start implementing chemical exfoliation into your routine as long as it is done properly.
Boost hydration in your home with the help of a humidifier; the dry heat from your home, apartment, or office serves as another threat to your skin barrier. Low humidity levels degrade the skin’s natural moisture barrier, leading to flaking, cracking, and peeling.
