Autumn Skin Changes, by Claire, therapist at Vita.
With Autumn well under way, many of us may have already noticed differences to our skin, with these changing seasons. These cooler, lower humidity days - our lovely central heating leads to water evaporating from our skin and sucking away the moisture, leaving us feeling dull, flakey and in some cases irritated! The lighter products we love in the summer months don’t seem to be giving us the same silky glow and we crave something richer.
Cleanser is the starting point and the foundation of a good skin care routine. The Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser leaves your skin feeling super smooth after just one use. That’s all it takes to fall in love with this product. It’s an exfoliating cleanser which uses lactic acid to remove the dull surface debris and it also hydrates and brightens the skin. No wonder it’s one of the Autumn hero products!
My other favourite product for this time of year is Age Reversal Eye Complex. This product is a saving grace as the cold, dark nights draw in. I find myself reaching for a nice warm drink instead of my much needed water bottle. The first place I notice my dehydration is around my eyes. Tiny little lines start appearing and dark circles seem to surround them.
Remembering to keep the water flowing in your system really is key to healthy skin all year round, but life just gets in the way, doesn’t it. So I use products to give my body the extra help it needs and to really target my specific problems. Age reversal eye complex uses microencapulated retinol, Niacinamide and ash tree bark, it helps to reduce appearance of fine lines, while maintaining hydration and reducing visible dark circles! I felt the difference was clear within a week and I’m back to my less tired and radiant skin.
The compliments I’ve had about my skin leave me feeling fantastic. Anything the weather or time of year wants to throw at me, my skin is ready to take it on!
Remember you can book in for a free skin consultation any time to chat with us about your skin and changes it may be going through with the change in seasons. Just one or two product changes can make all the difference at this time of year.
