Now that fall has finally arrived, cold weather is right around the corner. While you may be looking forward to declining temperatures after a hot and humid summer, seasonal changes are known to cause some unpleasant side effects for your skin.
These effects, which include dryness and inflammation, may have you scrambling to update your skin care regimen to something more appropriate.
Less Humidity Means Dryer Skin
Even if you're a fan of hot summer days, you're probably less enthused about high humidity. As unpleasant as high humidity feels, it actually has a pretty great effect on your skin. When the air is rich with moisture your skin appears more radiant and glowing. Many people also need to use moisturizer less frequently, since your skin will do just fine on its own. As humidity declines the air, and your skin, are deprived of moisture. Other factors, such as hot showers and in-home heating, also contribute to moisture-starved skin during winter. If you're prone to dry skin in general, this lack of moisture will only make it worse. Changes in temperatures also increase inflammation. This is a real issue for people with acne, who might find flare-ups worsening as the fall and winter arrive.
How to Cope Seasonal Effects on Your Skin
Limit exposure to hot, dry air whenever you can, both at home and outdoors. For example, placing a humidifier in your bedroom prevents dry air from taking a toll. You can also look out for skincare products that offer protection against the damaging effects of cold weather. Hale Cosmeceuticals features a range of products designed to combat dry skin and restore the dewy glow you loved so much during the hotter months. You must have a good moisturizer in your arsenal this time of year, and our Soft Finishing Moisturizer is ideal for dry skin issues. It contains kukui nut oil, a rejuvenating ingredient that evens out angry skin. This product also contains essential antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and ellagic acid, which repairs sun damage. Because cleansers sometimes dry out skin even further, the Dermist Skin Cleanser is designed to gently remove dirt and grime without increasing redness and irritation.
