As we start to put away our summer clothes and get the winter warmers out, let’s not forget to prepare our skin for the autumn winds as well.
At this time of year our skin will retain a lot less moisture because of the cooler, drier air. Our skin is also being sapped of moisture indoors as the central heating goes on for prolonged periods of time. Key symptoms of “autumn skin” include dryness, fine lines, dull and sallow skin tone, sun and age spots. Some minor adjustments in our skincare routine can help keep our skin looking as fresh and vibrant as it did in the summer.
Exfoliate the face and body with a gentle scrub to prevent the build up of dead cells which gives our skin that dull, lifeless look. For your face, try AD skin synergy’s Essential Cleansing Balm along with the muslin face cloth. This will gently give your skin a thorough cleansing which will keep your complexion radiant.
With all the elements that will dry out our skin, using a good moisturiser and drinking lots of water are vital to keep it hydrated. Both the Radiant Skin Moisturiser and the Nourishing Night Treatment facial oil are excellent at keeping the skin nourished and well moisturised. These are great to use on your body too.
Also if you can, try and have a steam sauna. Steaming your skin is a highly effective way of helping to keep your skin healthy. Amongst other benefits, this is a great way to improve your blood circulation, enhance detoxification processes and deep clean and rejuvenate your skin.
