The sun has set on summer and we are now enjoying all that autumn has to offer. Unfortunately, as the seasons change, so can your skin and the care it needs.
Whether it’s managing dry skin or summer pigmentation concerns, we have some tips to support your skin and keep it hydrated for the months ahead.
Cover up
The omnipresent rays of the sun are just as damaging in winter as they are in summer. Protect your skin from the elements by wearing a broad spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen when you are outside.
Even if you work inside all day, additional sunscreen helps block UVA & UVB rays which can contribute to the appearance of hyperpigmentation and age spots.
We recommend Balense UV Defiance SPF 50+, a protective sun lotion that leaves the skin feeling silky without residue. It’s also paraben-free and compatible with makeup.
Swap it up
Just as you wouldn’t wear a singlet and sandals outside in the cold weather, you don’t want to use your light-weight summer skincare products as the temperature drops. Try switching your products to a more hydrating, rich formula that provides nourishing daily skincare to the face, hands and neck.
A daily coat of moisturiser can take your skin from looking dull to a smoother and more supple appearance. We recommend Balense Dry Skin Moisturiser, which may help attract and retain moisture, supporting a smoother, more supple skin feel.
Support your skin renewal
During the cooler months, our natural skin shedding process tends to slow down, which means our skin can become drier and develop a dull appearance. To support your skin’s natural renewal process, we recommend you try a microdermabrasion. A microdermabrasion procedure may help massage the skin, remove dead surface skin cells, and support hydration.
Manage the appearance of summer skin
To manage the visible effects of summer, consider an advanced Aesthetics Rx MediPeel. These procedures are intended to support your skin’s appearance by removing dull surface layers. Using advanced cosmeceuticals, each peel is designed for specific concerns and provides a fresh start for your skin surface.
It is important to ensure your skin has undergone professional consultation and appropriate skincare preparation prior to an advanced skin peel. This ensures your skin can enjoy the intended benefits of the procedure.
Analyse changes
The most important thing to remember is when the seasons change, so can your skin type. If you are unsure as to whether your skin needs a new regime, request a complimentary Observ Skin Analysis consultation with one of our dermal technicians to see what skin care type you fall into.
In addition to modifying your skin care rituals, it is crucial to take care of yourself from within. Always drink plenty of water and eat a well-balanced diet. Stay hydrated to keep your skin looking its best!
