4 Fall Skin Care Tips
During the full, lower temperatures mean less moisture in the air. This can pull moisture from your skin, leaving it rough and dry. Cold winds can irritate your skin. Staying indoors in heated rooms doesn’t offer any relief from the drying effects of the season. So, fall is an ideal time to do a fall skin reset.
1. Rebuild Skin Barrier
The outermost layer of skin acts as a protection, keeping moisture in and harmful elements out. During the summer, the sun can cause inflammation and dehydration. Therefore, repairing the skin barrier is a must.
Focus on using skin care products with ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Ceramides are lipids that hold skin cells together. Hyaluronic acid boosts skin hydration. By adding these to your skin care routine, you will help form a strong, elastic, protective skin barrier.
For skin hydration, we recommend YOUTH® Moisture Lock Day Cream and YOUTH® Moisture Activating Serum. These two products contain a combination of four kinds of hyaluronic acid that rapidly penetrates the skin to hydrate from the inside, hold water in the upper layer of the skin, and forms a protective barrier to reduce water loss.
2. Gently Resurface Skin
After summer it is important to gently exfoliate to remove accumulated dead skin cells, dirt, and other residue. You should only exfoliate once or twice a week.
If you want exfoliation that hydrates and nourishes skin, try YOUTH® Perfecting Skin Toner– formulated with a patented blend of essential vitamins, polyphenols, and botanicals to gently exfoliate and rejuvenate skin.
Follow this with YOUTH® Activating Serum– formulated with vitamin A retinol and a 10x concentration of our Youth Complex to support collagen production and renewal. It penetrates deep into skin to deliver potent nutrients and botanicals to help improve texture and elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Brighten and Even Skin Tone
Sunshine during the summer can leave a mark on your skin causing fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, loss of firmness and sagging, uneven skin tone, and rough texture.
Your most powerful skin care essential is a vitamin C serum. This powerful antioxidant can help brighten, smooth, and firm skin.
During the day, use YOUTH® Superoxidant Boost C Serum™. It features three forms of vitamin C designed to target each of the three layers of skin.
At night, use YOUTH® Radiance C+E. Combines 20% vitamin C with vitamin E and raspberry cell extract to visibly reduce signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.
4. Apply Daily SPF
Even though it’s not summer anymore, you still need to protect your skin from the UV rays of the sun. Use at least SPF 30 and reapply every 2 hours. Dermatologists recommend a broad spectrum sunscreen for protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
For an SPF moisturizer, use YOUTH® Age Defense Mineral Moisturizer SPF 30. This naturally derived mineral titanium dioxide sunscreen provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
For an SPF BB cream, use YOUTH® Activating BB Cream. This beauty balm is formulated with clean ingredients that even skin tone, correct imperfections, hydrate, nourish, and protect from sun damage and premature aging with SPF 30.
For your body, use Shield Sheer Mineral Body Sunscreen SPF 30. This sheer, fast-absorbing, reef-safe, 100% mineral-based body sunscreen is powered by Clear Zinc Technology and provides SPF 30 broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.
