The seasons can affect your skin as much as the skin care products you apply on a daily basis. What worked in the summer might not work in the fall, which means you may have to adjust your routine appropriately. Better yet, autumn weather could mean it’s time to address summer sun damage. By using these fall skin care tips, you can make sure your skin stays hydrated and clear all season long.

5 Skin Care Tips Everyone Should Use This Fall

1. Try a Different Cleanser

Summer calls for a deep cleanser to accommodate sweat and exposure to the outdoors, but fall means you can tone it down a little. Use a gentler cleanser with an added moisturizer daily to leave your skin feeling pampered and nourished.

2. Exfoliate Often

Removing dead layers of skin during the fall months is much needed after a hot and sweaty summer. Exfoliating a few times a week is key to healthier skin, but don’t overdo it. Too much can cause acne breakouts, especially if you’re prone to them.

3. Address Sun Damage

It’s crucial to use products with a high sun protection factor year-round, but no one is perfect. If you find yourself noticing sunspots or lines, try adding an alpha or beta hydroxy acid exfoliant to your home regimen. If that doesn’t work, schedule an appointment with a dermatologist or spa, where a chemical peel or detoxifying treatment might be the best option.

4. Change Your Moisturizer

Summer moisturizers require a lighter base to keep users from developing clogged pores from too much hydration, but fall presents a different challenge. Exposure to windy days and indoor heaters can dry out the skin, calling for a deeper moisturizer.

5. Stay Hydrated

Dry air can do a number on your skin, so developing a routine of hydration is essential to healthier skin in the fall and winter. Changing your moisturizer isn’t enough. Add hydrating masks to your skin care routine and drink plenty of water.
