Back to school skincare

It’s back to school time!  Hope you enjoyed the summer but, it’s time for back to school skincare so you can look your best for next season!

Summer Fun

I hope you had a great summer – maybe you went to the beach with your family or you hung out at a local festival to meet with some friends.    Maybe you worked or you took extra vacation time (AKA some needed rest).  Maybe you’re the parent of a child going back to school.  Either way, I hope you remembered your sunscreen.

Back to School Skincare

Now it’s time to think about your skin for the fall and that’s what back to school skincare is all about.  The weather is still warm and the suns’ UV rays can do some damage so continuing to wear sunscreen is essential.  If you have acne prone skin, you’ll want to use a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t contain ingredients that clog pores.

As the days and nights get cooler and the sun isn’t as hot, you’ll need to start thinking about if your skin needs moisture.  The skin gets drier, especially once the heat goes on inside.

I always like to do the following:

1. Wash my face – always with a gentle cleanser.  You don’t need to do anything more than this.
2. Exfoliate – and do so according to your skin type.
3. Use a moisturizer – if needed.  A great one is a hyaluronic acid (AHA).

These are the most important things for back to school skincare.  It’s not necessary to do too much.  Follow a fundamentals approach to skincare and you’ll save money.  And, you’ll uncover your beautiful skin in no time.
