FALL TIPS

As summer melts into fall, it’s time to give your skin a back-to-school make-under. Make-Under, you say? Yes, that’s right: summer was a vacation for you, but hard work for your skin. The combination of chlorine, salt water, and fun-in-the-sun can especially spell disaster for sensitive skin.

Make the transition into autumn by following these four simple steps:

1. Exfoliate. Like burning photographs after a bad break-up, this is a tried and true method of moving on from the past. Think of the top layer of your skin as a snake does: it’s a temporary cover that needs to be shed from time to time. Edelbio’s Silky Foaming Facial Scrub will exfoliate that top layer and get your skin ready to receive all the moisturizing TLC you’ll be giving it.


2. Hydrate. You’ve heard it all before, but we’ll say it again. Drink plenty of water! It’s the best bodyguard you can have against the changing of the seasons.


3. Be prepared for fickle weather. Cold snaps, Indian summer, even hurricanes. The fall is infamous for its changeable weather – warm, humid days mixed with cool, dry ones. It’s almost as our moods! But this can cause problems for sensitive skin that “reacts” to changes in temperature and moisture levels. Strike pre-emptively with a good regimen designed to help your skin achieve an even state.


4. Balance. As days become cooler, and indoor heating creates a drier environment, it is important to stay moisturized. Switch from lotions to creams, but stay aware of your skin type. Use the Radiance Moisturizing Fluid, which contains active ingredients that will help keep skin balanced, yet also contains natural powders that absorb extra moisture for the "matte" look that is so hot this fall.
