Skin Savvy: Fall Forward To Beautiful Skin!
Hey guys, Isabella here! With the seasonal change coming up I wanted to go over some incredible tips for flawless skin. Adjusting your skincare routine as we transition into autumn is as vital as switching up your wardrobe or makeup! By making some slight modifications, you can achieve gorgeously smooth and hydrated skin that adapts perfectly to the climate changes.
Step One - Take It Up A Notch
Discover the secret to radiant skin! It all begins with a deep cleanse. Sunscreen, makeup, and summer pollution can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it looking tired and dull. Proper cleansing is the cornerstone of any effective skincare routine – it's a must, not a maybe! So turn to an Em Lash Studio professional for a thorough cleaning and nourishment!
Step Two - Easy On The Exfoliation
It's a good idea to ease up on retinoids and glycolic acid in colder weather. Be gentle with exfoliation, as it's easy to overdo it at any time; it can cause tiny cracks in the skin barrier, leading to more hydration loss and inflammation.
Always go easy on your facial skin area – if it's always red, itchy, or painful, you might be overdoing it. Taking time with a steady motion will ensure you’re cleaning your skin thoroughly. If you need help with discoloration or dark spots from the summer sun, consider using glycolic treatment pads or a gentle mask once a week.
Step Three - Add Moisturizer
Just a few months ago, I suggested that you switch to a lighter, oil-free moisturizer and set aside the heavier cream. However, as the cold weather sets in, it's time to retrieve that jar of moisturizer from your drawer and carefully inspect the label. Does it boast the presence of ceramides? You want it to! Think of ceramides as your skin's support squad. When ceramides decrease, your skin's barrier can get a little wonky, leading to dryness and irritation. This can even trigger eczema, yikes! As the chilly weather creeps in, our skin's hydration levels naturally drop, as well.. Just like we layer up with clothes to stay warm, our skin needs extra layers of hydration.
Consider adding a hyaluronic acid serum or a sheet mask to your skincare routine, along with a nice, rich moisturizer. It's like giving your skin a big, comforting hug! Don't neglect your skin below the neck! If you've been using lotion in the summer, keep it going – your skin still needs that hydration all over!
Moisturizing from head to toe is a simple way to keep dry, flaky skin at bay, and remember, moisturizers not only create a protective barrier but also help your skin retain hydration. Keep that glow going with plenty of hydration inside and out! Water is your best bet; getting a good supply onboard daily will help hydrate from both sides of your skin!
Step Four - Customization and Combination
Additional steps in your skincare routine will differ according to your skin type, age, overall health, and personal preferences. And, depending on individual preferences and needs, further steps will be necessary to counter acne, aging or other concerns. If not, proceed directly to the makeup application. (Hopefully, you’ve treated yourself to our Em Lash brow and lip treatments!)

Closing Thoughts
I want to leave you with this thought: Confidence is a natural gain when we have good, healthy-looking skin. It reflects our wellness and radiates a glow when we're in a good place. We're going to live in our skin for a very long time, so caring for it is actually a gift we're giving ourselves, isn't it? Wear it happily, care for it lovingly, and show it with confidence.
