AUTUMN SKIN CARE TIPS

Keeping the skin barrier healthy is job #1 heading into Autumn from the summer months.  Your summer routine will need a few tweaks to keep your skin glowing into colder months.  September is a transition month of warm days leading to cooler nights.  Breakouts may occur as the oil flow in the skin during the summer is still occurring while the cooler air is creating layers of buildup on the surface of the skin.  This can result in a dry, dull appearance by October on skin that previously looked so good.

Here are 5 simple tips for healthy and radiant skin this Autumn.

Tip #1:  Your Cleansing Routine

Heading into the Autumn season, a gentle cleanser which soothes and calms the skin is in order.  Look for a cleanser that is specially formulated to gently remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil without drying the skin or affecting the natural pH.  It is time to put away cleansing brushes or harsh scrubs during this transition period.  The skin becomes more sensitive as the conditions become colder and more drying.  See our ClinicCare Concentrated Cleansing Foam for all skin types and all skin conditions.  

Tip #2:  Boosting Hydration

After cleansing the skin, it is important to keep the skin moist prior to applying your special serums.  A perfect solution is adding a moisturising toner after cleansing and throughout the day to keep the skin feeling fresh and more hydrated.  Don’t let the skin dry out between home care steps. ClinicCare Refresh Liquid Moisturiser will keep your skin hydrated and your senses uplifted throughout the day.

Tip #3:  Eye Love

Are you too busy in the summer to think about products that protect and firm the delicate eye area?  With holiday season around the corner, it is the perfect time to add a boost to the eye area to counteract crepey skin, dark circles, and puffiness.  A customer favourite, the ClinicCare lip & Eye Renewal Cream does it all.  Your eyes will thank you.

Tip #4:  Change Your Moisturiser

Autumn and winter call for a change of moisturiser if your skin begins to feel dry under your current routine or you suspect your skin’s barrier may need some repair. It is the right time to switch from a light moisturiser to a more hydrating moisturiser in the Autumn and throughout the winter. You want a product that is deeply hydrating and repairs the barrier without feeling greasy or clogging pores. ClinicCare Dermo Corrective Cream and Refresh Essence soothe and protect the skin while delivering the important hydration and restoration it needs.

Tip #5:  Exfoliate

That cooler, dry air of autumn creates a build up on the surface of the skin which creates a lackluster appearance.  This is the time to add some gentle exfoliation to your home care regimen. Stay away from harsh products that may tear your delicate skin.  The right exfoliation leaves your skin deeply nourished and ready for the moisturiser of your choice.  ClinicCare Instant Painless Peel is ready to tackle the job of excess buildup on the skin in a gentle formula for all skin types.
