Fall Into Radiance: Top Fall Skin Care Trends for The Changing Seasons
As the vibrant hues of summer fade and autumn begins to paint the landscape with rich, warm tones, it’s the perfect time to reassess your skin care routine. Why? Well, the transition from the sun-drenched days of summer to the cooler, drier air of fall can be a bit jarring for your skin.
Just as you swap out your summer wardrobe for cozy sweaters and scarves, it’s important to adjust your skin care routine to maintain that radiant glow throughout the changing seasons. Here’s how to ensure your skin stays luminous and healthy as we fall into fall.
Embrace Hydrating Skin Care Products
As temperatures drop and humidity levels decrease, your skin may start to feel drier and more prone to flakiness. To counteract this, focus on incorporating more hydrating products into your skin care regimen.
Key Products to Add to Your Skin Care Routing
- Hydrating Serums: Look for serums that contain hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or squalane. These ingredients help to attract and retain moisture in the skin, keeping it plump and supple. At Lebo Aesthetics & Spa, many of our products contain these hydrating ingredients. We also offer ZO Skin Health skin solutions that are specially formulated provide extreme moisture.
- Rich Moisturizers: Switch to a richer, more emollient moisturizer. Creams and oils often provide a more substantial barrier against the elements than lighter lotions.
- Humidifiers: While not a skin care product per se, adding a humidifier to your home can help maintain moisture levels in the air, which is beneficial for your skin.
Adjust Your Exfoliation Routine
Exfoliation is crucial year-round to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. However, the way you exfoliate may need to change with the seasons.
Fall Exfoliation Tips:
- Gentle Exfoliants: As the weather cools, switch to gentler exfoliants that are less abrasive. Adding a brightening component to your exfoliator can also give your skin an added glow.
- Frequency: Reduce the frequency of exfoliation to avoid over-drying your skin. Once or twice a week is usually sufficient during the fall and winter months.
- Patch Testing: Always do a patch test when trying a new exfoliant to ensure it doesn’t cause irritation, especially as your skin adjusts to seasonal changes.
Don’t Forget the Fall Skin Care Basics
The changing seasons often necessitate a shift in your skin care priorities. Here’s what to consider as you transition to fall and winter.
- Sun Protection: Don’t let cooler weather trick you into skipping sunscreen. UV rays are still potent in the fall and winter, and protecting your skin from sun damage remains essential. Opt for sunscreens and sun protection with broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30.
Hydrating Masks: Incorporate hydrating masks into your weekly routine to give your skin an extra moisture boost.
Consider Adding These Top 6 Fall Med Spa Treatments into Your Routine
Fall is a great time to explore professional treatments that can help rejuvenate your skin after summer’s sun exposure. Med spas offer plenty of options that can complement your at-home skin care routine. At Lebo Aesthetics & Spa, we offer the most advanced med spa treatments that are perfect for this time of year. They include:
Chemical Peels
Address sun damage and dullness with chemical peels. This customizable treatment improves your skin texture and provides deep exfoliation.
The cooler weather and reduced sun exposure, post-summer, make fall an ideal time for peels, allowing your skin to recover and reveal a refreshed look by the holidays.
Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. Often advised to avoid heavy sun exposure after treatment, fall is the perfect time for microneedling.
Microneedling involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This leads to increased collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, more radiant, and firmer skin.
Hydrating Facials
Facials provide deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration in one go, making them a great option to refresh your skin for the new season. Many spas, including the Spa at Lebo, offer customized facials to help balance your skin through the drier seasons.
If you’re looking for the ultimate boost in hydration, the breakthrough Glo2Facial is a game changer. Through a unique combination of a specialized serum infused with oxygen and essential nutrients, the Glo2Facial Hydrate Treatment penetrates deep into the pores, delivering a surge of hydration, nutrients, and antioxidants to nourish and replenish the skin from within.
Facial Contouring with Botox or Dermal Fillers
As you prepare for the holiday season and cooler months, non-surgical facial contouring can enhance your facial features with minimal downtime.
With the use of injectable cosmetic fillers, those looking to add volume, shape, and definition to areas like the cheeks, jawline, and lips will see immediate results.
Botox is an FDA-approved treatment designed to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, helping men and women and young and young-at-heart alike, to maintain a more youthful and radiant appearance by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.
Advanced Laser Treatments
Laser technology is evolving, and fall is an excellent time to take advantage of these advancements. Cooler weather and fewer sun exposure hours make it easier to undergo and recover from laser treatments.
Whether you’re looking to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, tackle unwanted hair, or to rid yourself of past mistakes, there’s a laser treatment to fit your needs.
- Skin Revitalization: Skin Revitalization with the PicoSure™ Laser provides breakthrough technology to revitalize your skin and remove unwanted pigment. PicoSure™ gently delivers short bursts of energy to target and eliminate the pigment without causing harm to the surrounding skin.
- Photorejuvenation: Photorejuvenation is an intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment (similar to a laser) used to minimize the appearance of Rosacea, broken capillaries, brown spots, sun damage, freckles, birthmarks and any other pigmented lesions on the skin. Photorejuvenation can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Laser Hair Removal: Many choose to start or continue their laser hair removal journey in the fall, aiming for smooth skin by the time warmer weather returns. This non-invasive treatment for permanent and long-term hair reduction, is specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the face and body.
- Tattoo Removal: Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to break down the ink particles embedded in the skin. The laser selectively targets the pigments in the tattoo without causing damage to the surrounding skin. Over time, the body’s immune system flushes out the fragmented ink particles, leading to the gradual fading and eventual removal of the tattoo. Fall is the perfect time to get rid of tattoo regret because it’s best to stay out of the sun after treatments.
Non-Surgical Body Contouring
As we transition into sweater weather, body contouring treatments continue to be in high demand. And with the holidays fast approaching, many prepare their bodies for festive attire and photos, making all a strategic time for these treatments.
This season’s trend is leaning towards non-invasive procedures like Coolsculpting® and Velashape™, which help sculpt and tone without the need for downtime.
CoolSculpting® is a fat-freezing treatment that remains a top choice for those looking to target unwanted and stubborn fat.
The treatment uses patented cooling technology to eliminate fat cells, without surgery and without downtime. The technology behind the science precisely targets fat cells beneath the skin and cools them down to a temperature that triggers the cells to die. Over time, those treated fat cells shrink and are naturally metabolized and eliminated in your body -leaving a more sculpted you!
The beauty of CoolSculpting® is that once the treated fat cells are gone, they never come back.
VelaShape™ is another popular body reshaping and cellulite reduction treatment. It’s the first and only safe, effective medical solution using radio frequency, infrared light and suction to cause the metabolism of a fat cell to speed up.
When this occurs, the body processes the liquid out of the fat cell. This helps to reduce the circumference of an area, firm the skin from loss of elasticity, and reduce cellulite.
Finally, Maintain a Balanced Diet and Lifestyle
Lastly, remember that skin care isn’t just about the products you use. A balanced diet, plenty of water, and a healthy lifestyle contribute significantly to your skin’s appearance.
- Eat Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables: Foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E support skin health. Pumpkins, apples, and sweet potatoes are not only in season but also great for your skin.
- Stay Hydrated: Even if you’re not feeling as thirsty in cooler weather, continue drinking plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
As you embrace the beauty of fall, adjusting your skin care routine to address the changing weather will help you maintain a glowing complexion.
By focusing on hydration, gentle exfoliation, and tailored Med Spa treatments, you’ll ensure that your skin remains radiant and healthy throughout the season. So, go ahead and fall into radiance—your skin will thank you for it!
