As temperatures drop, your skin will face a whole new set of\nchallenges as it acclimates itself to its environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as you switch out your wardrobe for the colder weather, you\u2019ll need to transition your skincare routine to protect your body from the elements. Consider these five tips to ensure a healthy fall and winter complexion: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>1. Swap Out Your Beauty Products<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsh environmental conditions can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/health\/agingwell\/12-reasons-you-age-faster-in-winter\/ss-BBQs57p#image=12\">accelerate\npremature aging<\/a>. If you haven\u2019t already, consider using\na lotion or cream specifically formulated to help strengthen your skin\u2019s\nbarrier. Or, if you already notice visible signs of aging, consult your\ndermatologist about a stronger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forhers.com\/skin-care\/anti-aging\">prescribed anti-aging treatment<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your lightweight moisturizer probably won\u2019t cut it during the winter.\nWith the cold season fast approaching, you may want to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincarebyalana.com\/blog\/winter-skincare-swaps\/\">swapping\nout your skincare products<\/a>. Switch out any lotions\nor foaming products with cream cleansers, which boost hydration and are\ngenerally gentler on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chameleonjohn.com\/blog\/some-of-the-best-anti-aging-lotions-and-creams-to-purchase-this-year\">skin<\/a>.\nIn addition, you should use products that contain humectants like glycerin or\nhyaluronic acid, as these help draw and trap in moisture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bonus Tip<\/strong>: Like your skin, your hair may also become dry and brittle during the colder season. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chameleonjohn.com\/blog\/cold-weather-and-hair-5-tips-how-to-deal-with-dry-and-difficult-hair\">protect your hair from the cold<\/a>, apply a weekly hair mask, and add a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to your regimen, as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>2. <strong>Consider Exfoliating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the colder air, it\u2019s not uncommon for your skin to become dry,\nflaky, and uneven. During fall and winter, dead skin cells can build up on your\nskin\u2019s surface and make it appear dull. Regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lorealparisusa.com\/beauty-magazine\/skin-care\/skin-care-essentials\/why-you-should-exfoliate-in-winter.aspx\">exfoliation\nduring the winter<\/a> can help remove these impurities to\nreveal a softer, smoother complexion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While exfoliation is important, excess scrubbing can leave your skin dry, irritated, and more susceptible to wind burn. If you\u2019re already prone to dry skin, you may want to skip out on exfoliating and use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cetaphil.com\/products\/extra-gentle-daily-scrub\">gentle scrub<\/a> to remove impurities and promote cell turnover instead. Everyone\u2019s complexion is different, so pay attention to how your skin reacts to different exfoliants. Choose one that suits your skin type, and always follow up with a moisturizer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>3. <strong>Protect Your Lips <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though you may pile on layers of clothing to protect your skin, your\nlips are often left exposed to the elements. The skin on your lips is more\ndelicate and can\u2019t produce oil on its own, which is why it tends to dry out\nmuch quicker than the skin on the rest of your body. Luckily, there are simple\nsteps you can take to <a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/6-tips-to-protect-your-lips-from-the-cold\/\">protect\nyour pout<\/a> from the cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saliva can cause further dryness and irritation, so it\u2019s best to avoid licking your lips whenever possible. In addition, avoid picking at flaky or peeling skin to prevent further damage, and regularly apply a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.com\/beauty\/best-lip-balms\">moisturizing lip balm<\/a> to help heal and strengthen your skin\u2019s natural barrier. You can also protect your lips from harsh conditions by wearing a scarf to shield your mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>4. <strong>Wear Sun Protection <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun probably isn\u2019t your number one concern during the fall and winter. However, clouds, fog, and even snowfall have little impact on the sun\u2019s harmful rays. That means you\u2019re susceptible to sun damage, regardless of the time of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, sun damage can accumulate and cause premature aging, discoloration, and even skin cancer. Fortunately, you can greatly reduce your risk of developing these conditions by incorporating sun protection into your daily routine. As you transition to fall and winter, continue to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dermstore.com\/blog\/top_ten\/best-spf-sunscreens\/\">broad-spectrum sunscreen<\/a> with an SPF of at least 30 on any exposed areas of skin to ensure you\u2019re always protected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>5. <strong>Use a Humidifier<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsh winds and the cold, dry climate can deplete your skin of its\nnatural moisture, and cranking up the heat can further exacerbate irritation\nand dryness. Using a humidifier to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/style-beauty\/beauty\/a25415293\/best-humidifier-dry-skin\/\">regulate\nyour home\u2019s climate<\/a> during the fall and winter is a great\nway to keep your skin sufficiently hydrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humidifiers help increase humidity levels in your home by emitting\nmoisture into the room. For optimal health benefits, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advantaclean.com\/blog\/2018\/december\/best-practices-to-follow-when-using-a-humidifier\/\">humidifier\nbest practices<\/a>, and wash it regularly to ensure your\nbody only absorbs clean air. Place an appropriately sized humidifier in each\nroom, and apply a humectant to help draw this moisture into your complexion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>_____<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold weather can wreak havoc on your skin, but it doesn\u2019t have to. As\nthe temperatures drop, keep these tips in mind to maintain a healthier\ncomplexion all year long. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seasonal transitions can be harsh on your skin, especially if you\u2019re not properly prepared.
