While you’re still enjoying the summer (and hopefully using sunscreen when you go outside), try to think ahead to how you can take better care of your skin come Fall. The FIRST thing you have to do is DETERMINE YOUR SKIN TYPE before determining your Fall skin care regimen. | Answer these 4 questions:
1 When you take a look in the mirror, you check to: |
3 A few minutes after you exfoliate, your skin: A feels as if your cheeks need moisturizer. B feels as if it’s sunburned. C feels clean and refreshed. D feels as if it’s cracking. |
2 You sample a new foundation. An hour later: A Your nose is shiny, but your cheeks are dry. B Your entire face looks red. C Your whole face is shiny. D Your face feels smooth |
4 After using moisturizer: A your cheeks still feel dry. B your face itches. C your face feels greasy. D your face feels cool. |
If you answered mostly…..
A‘s: You’re Combination skin. B‘s: You’re Sensitive. C‘s: You’re Oily. D‘s: You’re Dry.
Now that you’ve determined your skin type, follow the morning and nighttime rituals suited to your skin type for your Fall skin care regimen.
For Combination skin
Morning Rub a small amount (size of a dime) of a glycolic acid-based cleanser into your palms with enough warm water to make suds. Massage into skin, focusing on oily areas. Rinse well with warm water. Pat dry. Smooth on a light moisturizer with an SPF of 15. Wait about 20 minutes before applying makeup. We recommend PeterThomasRoth
3% Glycolic Solutions Cleanser 8.5 fl oz
and Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream – Travel Size – 0.67 fl oz and
Water Drench Broad Spectrum SPF 45 Hyaluronic Cloud Moisturizer – 50 ml / 1.7 fl oz
Nighttime Splash face a few times with lukewarm water to soften skin so dirt and oil can be easily removed. Repeat morning cleansing ritual, then apply a richer moisturizer to dry areas. A good choice would be
FIRMx Collagen Moisturizer – Deluxe Sample – 7.5 ml, or
Laneige Water Bank Moisture Cream 50ml / 1.69 fl. oz. For Sensitive skin Morning You don’t have to use cleanser and moisturizer twice a day. Instead, dampen a washcloth that’s been washed in a fragrance-free detergent with cool water. Place the washcloth over your face for 2 minutes. Pat dry. Apply makeup. We recommend Wonderfeel Double Cleanser by Ole Henriksen. The moisturizer we recommend for sensitive skin is LaRoche-Posay Toleriane Daily Soothing Face Cream Moisturizer or for ultra sensitive skin Toleriane Ultra Moisturizing Cream
Nighttime Gently wash face with soap-free cleanser. Rinse with lukewarm water. Pat dry. Apply a moisturizer that contains Retinol, a replenishing ingredient that reduces redness and irritation. For all skin types including sensitive and compromised skin, you may want to try alcohol-free, fragrance-free Green Releaf Therapeutic Sleep Cream Skin Protectant – 50 ml / 1.7 fl oz
For Dry skin A highly emollient face cream with Polyhydroxy Acids designed to moisturize the skin while visibly reducing lines, wrinkles and other signs of photo aging is ideally suited to dry skin. Here are some ideas for your Fall skin care regimen. Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Facial Cleanser Rinse well. Dry face with a towel, leaving skin damp. Immediately apply a moisturizer. We suggest trying La Roche-Posay’s Hydraphase Intense Riche Hyaluronic Acid Cream or
Toleriane Riche Moisturizer for Very Dry Skin. Always wait a few minutes before applying makeup to let skin absorb the moisturizer. Nighttime Repeat morning cleansing ritual. Moisturizers containing glycolic or alpha-hydroxy acid, which exfoliate dead skin cells, enabling the product to penetrate into skin more effectively, are often recommended. A good choice of night cream would be SkinCeuticals Renew Overnight Dry You may also like Nurture Yourself Essentials Kit below
