You might think that your skin would naturally radiate beauty and health in these gorgeous conditions, but the unfortunate reality is that autumn weather can be difficult on your skin.

After all, the air may be drier than you are used to, and the temperature may fluctuate dramatically within a short period of time.

If you want to create a healthy glow this season, simply follow a few easy steps to care for your skin!

  • Exfoliate Regularly

There are several healthy, natural facial scrubs on the market that are ideal for effectively scrubbing away dead skin cells on the surface. By doing so, they leave your skin looking rejuvenated and feeling softer. This process even encourages new skin cell growth, so it actually can promote more youthful-looking skin. Exfoliating twice per week during the fall months is ideal for most people.

  • Moisturise your skin

Many cosmetics contain alcohol that can dry out your skin. When skin cells lose moisture, they, unfortunately, tend to create a less refreshed look. Some day creams are designed for hydration without leaving your skin excessively oily, and they may be worn underneath your normal cosmetics. You can also apply a more pampering moisturiser at night for more thorough results.

  • Remember Your Lips

Chapped, dry lips are common during the fall months because of the dry, cool air, and your scaly lips can easily detract from the healthy look that you want to portray. Rather than use a petroleum-based product to artificially create a moist look on your lips, consider using a natural oil product that has healing benefits. Beeswax and sunflower butter are two excellent ingredients to look for when you are shopping for a lip care product that is healthy for you and for the environment.

Hands may easily be overlooked with a typical skin care regimen, but they are not overlooked by others who see you regularly. The last thing you want is dry, crepe-looking skin on your hands throughout the fall and winter months. With this in mind, you need to properly care for your hands with moisturization and nutrients. Use a product that contains healthy ingredients such as jojoba oil, olive oil or other ingredients.

Think About Total Body Health

The look of your skin is a direct reflection of your total body health. You simply cannot have healthy skin when the rest of your body is unhealthy. Ensure that you get enough sleep at night. Follow a healthy diet, and drink plenty of water each day. Avoid smoking, and consider taking a multivitamin to stay as healthy as possible.

With many people already enjoying beautiful fall weather conditions, now is the time to focus your attention on fall skin care efforts. Review your current skin care products to determine where your supplies are lacking. Then, order the products that your skin needs to remain healthy and hydrated throughout this season and beyond.
