Fall Skincare Tips for Glowing Skin

While you change your wardrobe and foot wear with the seasons it is important to remember to change your skin-care routine and products with the seasons as well.  Your skin adapts with the season changes and your skin-care products should follow suit.  I am a lead consultant at an Orlando Medical Spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging so part of my job is to recommend the best products and when you should you use them.
Here are my top Fall Skincare Tips for Glowing Skin
#1 Exfoliate! 
Over the summer you accumulated a lot of superficial sun damage and pigmentation therefore it is important to exfoliate your skin in order to reduce pigment as well as break down dead skin cell build up, clean out your pores, and tighten your pores.  The #1 way to exfoliate is with a chemical peel.  Chemical peels can come in light, medium, and strong peels and range between light flaking to days of peeling. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, which makes it  eventually peel off revealing fresh skin. The new skin is tighter, less porous, brighter and smoother.  If you can't make it to your local medical spa for a chemical peel, then an at home scrub or product with Alpha Hydroxy Acid or Beta Hydroxy Acid will help as well.
#2 Still Wear a SPF in your Moisturizer everyday!
Even though you may not be at the beach in the Fall or it might even start snowing you are still exposed to sun.  When you walk to your car, drive your car, rake the leaves you are still accumulating sun exposure and damage.  It is important to stick to a moisturizer with a minimum spf 30 full broad spectrum UVA/UVB.
#3 Switch your moisturizer to a heavier daytime moisturizer or add a night-time moisturizer.
During the summer your skin tends to be more oily and a lighter moisturizer is necessary.  When the seasons change your skin typically becomes dryer which means to keep that sweet summer glow you need more hydration.  This is when you should switch to a thicker daytime moisturizer with SPF or add a nighttime moisturizer such as Skinmedica's Dermal Repair.

Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Tips

Every season can bring changes to your skin. Therefore it is important to switch up your skin-care routine for every season but especially for Winter which can bring dryness, roughness, and other conditions to the skin. To keep slow down signs of aging follow these tips for Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Tips. Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Tips: #1 Always wear a sunscreen preferably in your moisturizer. People have a tendency to stop wearing an spf in the Winter but the truth is that your skin gets sun all year long. Many people don't realize that you get sun even while you are driving, hence why the left side of your face typically has more sun damage than the right side. It is important to wear a moisturizer with a minimum SPF 30 that is full broad spectrum UVA/UVB. The best anti-aging routine is to always wear a sunscreen as sun damage accounts for 90% of signs of aging. I like the SkinMedica Daily Defense SPF 30. #2: Add a night-time moisturizer In the winter season the weather can cause dryness to the skin. Even if you have only used a daytime moisturizer, the Winter is a good time to consider adding a night time moisturizer this will give your skin the extra hydration it needs. If the skin is dry and gets a dehydrated look it tends to appear older than hydrated skin. I prefer night-time moisturizers that contain shea butter. #3: Give your hands better hydration The hands can be one of the first of areas to show age and they get the most wear-they are constantly being washed, dried with soap etc. The skin on your hands is thinner than on most parts of the body and has fewer oil glands. That means it's harder to keep your hands moist, especially in cold, dry weather. This can lead to itchiness, cracking, and eventually wrinkles. It is important to use moisturizers and sunscreen on your hands as well as your face. For more information on Winter Anti-Aging Skincare Tips go to www.winterparklaser.com
