There will be lots of fun activities the following months! It’s great that the outdoors have cooler temperatures, but the crisp fall air can often leave us with dry skin, which can be painful or look aged, and worn. You probably went into this to know how to prevent dry skin during the fall and winter seasons. Here goes:
Moisturize
#1 way to keep skin hydrated is to add moisture daily. According to a study, moisturizer gives hydration to the skin which smoothens the skin surface. It also makes the skin surface soft, more extensible, and pliable.
Moisturizers have a wide array of usage and benefits for many dermatological conditions which have a common underlying effect of dryness. A good skincare regimen will have you moisturize twice a day, but you may need to increase this during colder months.
Hyaluronic Acid is one of the high-quality ingredients in a great moisturizer. According to Vanguard Dermatology, petroleum-based products, like Vaseline and Aquaphor can help create a seal to keep moisture locked in, but are best used at night since they’re thick and greasy. Oil-based moisturizers can feel silkier on the skin and tend to stay longer too.
Product Recommendation:
Try NeoGenesis’ Intensive Moisturizer. This moisturizer is deeply hydrating. This luxurious cream contains patented technology including growth factors, antioxidants, and peptides to support skin function and barrier repair.
Limit Your Shower Time
Fall weather makes the hot shower better! But, too much time in hot water can actually dry out your skin even further, which is why it’s important to limit bathing time to 5-10 minutes during chilly months.
According to a study, taking too much bathing, and showering, can lead to defective skin barrier function, loss in innate antibacterial activities from changes in antimicrobial peptide levels, or reduced immune responses necessary for eradication and defense against bacteria, as well as changes in the skin surface pH values toward alkalinity.
The same goes for any time spent in hot tubs or jacuzzis. Don’t be afraid to enjoy yourself with a quick dip, but don’t spend too long in a hot tub or your skin will suffer.
Use A Humidifier
One of the easiest ways to add hydration to your skin and improve your sleep. According to a study, humidifiers are used to improve air dryness, which often induces excess humidity and thermal discomfort.
Humidifiers add moisture to the air, which can benefit people with respiratory symptoms or dry skin. Running a small humidifier next to your bed can keep your skin hydrated, help you breathe easier while sleeping, and even aid anti-aging efforts.
Avoid The Irritants
While wool sweaters are classic autumn wear, choose cotton and silk blends for your clothing. Wool’s itchiness can easily irritate sensitive skin.
Ditch soaps and laundry detergents containing alcohol, fragrances, or antibacterial ingredients. Get mild, unscented cleansers. They’re worth a try, most especially when you’re already suffering from eczema. Some soaps even contain additional moisturizers, which might be a bonus for your skin.
Book An Omega Hydro Peel Facial
If your skin is really feeling the effects of the season change, consider booking a skincare treatment to give yourself a boost. An Omega Hydro Peel Facial is an excellent way to exfoliate, rejuvenate, and re-hydrate skin on your face.
This is one of the favorite treatments at the clinic. This treatment uses Vortex Technology, which allows deep tissue hydration in the bottom layers of your skin.
The treatment has no downtime and the results are immediate. It also treats hyperpigmentation, clogged pores, blackheads, etc.
