During the summer, experts recommend that skin care be redoubled. However, in the transition to autumn, it is common for people to forget to switch products to meet the specific needs of that season. However, lower temperatures and drier air also tend to harm the skin if the necessary care is not taken.
“Even if the milder autumn temperature is good for skin treatments, this is not the only aspect to be observed when it comes to skin care. It is important to pay due attention to the low humidity in the air, for example, typical of this period, as well as to maintain care that mixes protection against sunlight and cold winds”, says physiotherapist Renata Taylor, consultant at HTM Eletrônica, an industry specialized in the development and in the manufacture of electromedical and aesthetic equipment.
1. Know your skin
Before investing in products, a tip is to know and choose the cosmetic ideal for your skin type. Thus, the appropriate treatment will also help to enhance the results, through the characteristics of the dermis. When the product is chosen wrongly, the actives will work against what the skin needs, promoting inadequate responses.
two. Drink water and avoid hot showers
Hot and long showers during autumn can end up removing the skin’s hydrolipidic mantle, a moisturizer produced by the body itself that acts as a protective layer, and cause even greater dryness. Also, with the lower temperature, people tend not to feel so thirsty, but hydration becomes even more necessary in dry weather. A beauty tip to keep your body and skin hydrated in any season is to drink plenty of water, that is, hydrate from the inside out.
3. use sunscreen
Even in the mildest seasons of the year, it is essential to use sunscreen to collaborate with skin care. Ultraviolet radiation, also in the autumn, causes damage that compromises the skin’s support structure, causing the early appearance of wrinkles and sagging, in addition to blemishes.
The orientation continues to be to reapply the protector every four hours indoors. This tip is mainly for people who are at home office, who spend a lot of time in front of computer screens. When there is direct photoexposure, the application must be every two hours, except in the moments of exposure to synthesize vitamin D, essential for health and beauty.
4. Invest in aesthetic care
Currently, the market has several technologies that contribute to the facial rejuvenation, hydration and skin tonus. These are valuable resources that contribute to body care. Whenever possible, bet on aesthetic treatments and use technology as an ally to enhance care at home.
