As we get deeper into this crisp season you may be noticing that as the air gets chillier and drier your skincare needs are changing, If you continue using the products that work well in the summertime youll find your skin will feel parched, tight, and uncomfortable. Don't fret! We are here in the nick of time with some preparation tips for the season! Use gentle face and body cleansers It’ time to use a cleanser that won't strip your skin, Avoid hot water when washing your face and skip the harsh cleansers which will make your skin dry and dull. We suggest putting away the body gels and using a creamy hydrating wash. Exfoliate ‘The more you discover about your skin the more youll realize exfoliation is a key compo- nent in keeping it beautifully healthy. As your skin becomes drier it will begin to look duller because of dead skin cell buildup which can cause a whole slew of issues. Treat yourself to a session of micradermabrasion. This process also increases cellular turnover and allows your other skin care products to penetrate more easily giving them the ability to work effectively. Some other great ways to exfoliate are using a weekly facial mask, chemical peels, and using a face wash with gentle exfoliating beads. Daily sunscreen Yes, you still need to wear a sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 every single day. For darker skin tones look for sunscreens which have micron- ized or nanosized zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to skip the chalk appearance some lotions leave behind. Find a hydrating sunscreen and apply it right after you've dried off after your shower or bath. This seals in your skin’s moisture and will create a healthy glow. Drink water ‘We have talked about the external things you can do but T cannot leave out the number one ‘way to prepare your skin for the changing seasons. Drinking plenty of water during the day ‘will help in maintaining plump cells which will aid in retaining youthful skinThe area's only Mayo Clinic trained Mohs surgeon Meet Dr. Marcy Street, Medical Director, and the staff at Doctor's Approach Doctor's Approach Dermatology is a well-established, complete care medical and surgical dermatology practice.
