Skin care is very important especially is you are looking to have gorgeous, healthy looking skin. You skin needs proper care, and your skin care routine needs to take in account the season, because environmental factors can affect our skin.
Summer days are coming towards an end for most of us, so
changing our
skin care routine is a must. The seasons are constantly
changing and so are the effects they have on our skin, this is why
it is important to know and understand how certain factors
influence our skin in order to protect it.
Different seasons are characterized by different factors: summer by
warmth, autumn by cold and wind. To make sure our skin maintains
it's health and it's protection against environmental factors it is
necessary to take the necessary measures of skin care.
Due to the most common characteristics of the fall season: cooler
temperatures, harsher winds, and the constant temperature changes
between the inside and the outside, the skin can become more
sensitive and more likely to become dry, tight, itchy and
irritated. All these characteristics can have a
negative effect over the skin by stripping it of its
moisture.
To protect the skin against all these damaging factors you can:
clean the face with lukewarm water and mild face wash to remove all the excess sebum in the morning and before bed, so the dirt deposited at skin level throughout the day can be eliminated. Do not remove all the oils of your skin because the oils act like a natural barrier against external factors
apply a heavy moisturizer with SPF protection. Even though it's not summer the UV rays are still present and can affect the skin. The moisturizer cream will prevent the skin from drying out due to cold temperatures and winds
drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. This way your skin will maintain it's hydration and elasticity
exfoliate the skin every once in a while to remove all the dead skin cells. Dead skin cells can be trapped inside the pores and cause pimples. Removing them will also help new skin cells development and promote smoother softer skin
protect your lips with chapstick or lip balm. The wind and cold temperatures can cause the lips to flake due to dehydration. Lip balm can help moisturize and protect the lips to maintain them in perfect condition
eat healthy foods because the nutrients received from different foods will prepare and protect your skin against external damaging factors
Caring for your skin will maintain your skin looking healthy, soft
and smooth. It will also prevent it from looking dull, aged and
wrinkled.
