5 Smart Ways to Prep Your Skin For Fall

POPSUGAR Beauty

Cooling temperatures and windy days can be delightful, but they also have a tendency to wreak havoc on your skin. The good news is that there are lots of ways to prep your face for crisp weather.

  • Look after your lipids: Pick up a slightly more emollient moisturizer. Skin gets drier in cooler weather, and one of the best ways to keep it from having issues is to keep your lipid barrier well protected.

  • No scrub-a-dub-dub: Use acids and scrubs a little less frequently. When you exfoliate, skin is more sensitive, and cold air or harsh weather conditions can exacerbate skin issues.

  • Acid trip: Get a serum with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic is a humectant, which means that it helps keep skin hydrated. And if you happen to have oily skin, a serum's gel-like consistency won't be too greasy for you.

  • Noninflamed dame: Allergies, rosacea, and eczema tend to act up during seasonal transitions, so keep your skin soothed with calendula extract or another anti-inflammatory.

  • Easy does it: Use a super gentle cleanser that's fragrance-free and nondrying. It will keep your skin's reactivity low and irritation at bay.
