The days are getting shorter and the weather is starting to cool down – Fall is officially approaching! This is a great time of year to update your skincare routine to prepare your skin for the colder months ahead. Here are 5 ways to get your skin ready for fall:

1. Adjust your skincare products.

In the summer, you may have been using more light-weight products, but now it may be time to switch to heavier products that will hydrate without leaving your skin feeling weighed down.

2. Add an antioxidant serum to your routine.

Antioxidants are key in protecting your skin from environmental stressors, which can cause premature aging.

3. Add in a heavier exfoliant into your routine.

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, which makes your skin look brighter and younger. With less day-light, you have less risk for sun damage from a heavy chemical exfoliant. Just remember to still apply sunscreen - while you’ll receive less sun exposure, the sun is still emitting UV rays and can cause sunburns.

4. Add a face mask to your regimen.

A good face mask can help moisturize and nourish your skin, giving you a youthful glow. The more moisture you can provide to you skin for the season the better!

5. Drink plenty of water.

Staying hydrated is essential for keeping your skin healthy and looking its best. This is also an important aspect to maintaining moisturized skin.

By following these simple steps, your skin will be ready for sweater weather in no time!
