If you’re like me, you can’t believe that summer is almost over. As the kids go back to school, it will be time to put the flip flops back in storage. This is also a time to prepare your skin for the change in season. Summer can be rough on skin, especially if you have spent time in the water. Between the chlorine in the pool and the salt water from the ocean, skin can lose its luster. As the weather starts to change from summer to fall, the skin will need more hydration to cope with the coolness of the season.
I asked Kimberly Sayer to share some summer to fall skin care tips with us. Kimberly is a licensed esthetician who has practiced organic aesthetics in New York and London for more than ten years. She is also the founder of Kimberly Sayer of London, an organic skin care line.
Tip 1: Exfoliate Exfoliation is KEY to bringing back your skin to a healthy glow. The best time hydrate your skin is right after you’ve dried off after your shower or bath. This allows the absorption of creams and lotions.
Tip 2: Hydrate As the weather cools, the skin will need more hydration. After your shower is the best time for hydration. Make sure you also use a good night repair product to heal and hydrate while sleeping. You might need to switch to an even heavier product as the weather gets cooler.
Tip 3: Eye Repair The summer can do serious damage to the thinner, more sensitive skin around the eyes. As the weather gets cooler, these lines and crows’ feet can be more apparent. Always use a good eye product twice a day: A product that allows for plumping and cellular repair is key to changing the delicate tissue around the eyes.
Tip 4: Replenish Add trace minerals to your drinking water: Experts estimate that 90 percent of Americans suffer mineral imbalance or deficiency, especially in extreme weather like summer when you tend to sweat more.
Tip 5: Detox A great time to detox is in between seasons. The body is more open to change and releases toxins more readily. Use the products below for a great detox that will not keep you in the bathroom all day:
