Fall Beauty Tips!

Yes, the weather is getting cooler, and besides requiring a change of wardrobe, it is also important to change the way that you care for your skin and hair! In most climates, fall and winter weather is much drier, meaning that you need to focus on hydrating and protecting your complexion from the elements.

1.Exfoliate. Exfoliating should be at the top of your list in the fall season as the weather becomes drier with less moisture in the air. This means that it is much more likely for dead skin to build up on your face and body, leaving you flaky, itchy, and irritated. Exfoliating also provides a dual benefit of removing dead skin cells and stimulating new cell growth so that you naturally look younger and fresher. Thank goodness.
Protect your lips. If you struggle with chapped lips in the fall and winter season, it is important to use a moisturizing lip balm treatment and also exfoliate your lips well. An easy way to exfoliate your lips is by mixing equal parts granulated sugar and Vaseline, which you can use to gently scrub dead and chapped skin off of your lips. What many people do not realize is that the thin skin on your lips is highly susceptible to damage so always make it a point to wear a lip balm with an SPF of 15 in the winter season since you can still get UVA damage from the sun when it is cloudy and cold outside.
Protect your hair. Yes, fall and winter is also the time when your hair becomes brittle, dry, and lackluster. Make sure to pay special attention to the care of your hair by moisturizing with a deep conditioner if it dries out. It is also helpful to wash your hair every other day so that you don't strip your hair of the natural essential oils it needs to stay protected and soft.
These top three tips are the ABCs of fall and winter beauty care, and they will make a dramatic difference in keeping you protected from the elements as the weather gets colder!
