As the leaves change color and temperatures drop, your skincare routine needs to adjust too. What worked beautifully in July may leave your skin looking parched and weathered by October.
Here are five essential steps for maintaining your skin’s plump, hydrated looking glow even on the cloudiest of fall days:
1. Swap Heavy Moisturizers for Hydrating Serums
During the summer, thick layers of moisturizer are ideal to counter all the time you spend outdoors.
Yet in the cooler months, switching to a richer, cream-based serum is vital to keep your skin moist without feeling greasy.
Total Package Serum is specially formulated to address four aging signs at once and to provide medspa-like results at home. It also features two key ingredients that will help keep your skin looking hydrated, smooth, and plump during the dryer fall weather:
Hyaluronic acid (HA) -This “moisture magnet” holds up to 1,000x its weight in water. Because it’s a serum, the hyaluronic acid in Total Package Serum penetrates deeper than your typical department store lotion.
Argireline - Often referred to as "Botox in a bottle," Argireline fades the look of fine lines and creases around the eyes and mouth. This makes Argireline particularly beneficial when these “dynamic wrinkles” look more pronounced in dry fall weather.
2. Flood Your Skin with Hyaluronic Acid From Within
While Total Package Serum can moisturize your skin on the outside, the best results come from taking a comprehensive approach to keeping your skin hydrated.
HydraFlex is specially formulated to flood your skin cells with hydration from the inside out. It features a high purity 40mg dose of HA, delivered in a liposomal layer that carries it through your stomach so more of it reaches your skin.
HydraFlex also contains two more ingredients to help your body make HA on its own:
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) - This provides organic sulfur which is a key building block for collagen and other proteins, which also support peak HA levels.
Immuno-LP20 - A patented probiotic that’s clinically shown to activate the immune cells and proteins that promote peak levels of HA.
The combination of Total Package Serum working topically and HydraFlex working on the inside will help keep your skin cells hydrated even in the driest buildings.
3. Apply a Dark Spot Cream to Maintain Your Clear Complexion
You’ll soon be spending more time indoors, yet the sun’s UV rays are a threat all year round. UV rays can penetrate clouds, pass through windows, and bounce off surfaces to reach your skin.
This is why it’s essential to continue applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen throughout the fall, and to continue protecting your skin against dark spot outbreaks.
DermaBright MD - The world’s only dark spot cream specially formulated to tackle the newly discovered biological pathway that causes dark spots. As well as fade the appearance of dark spots in as little as 15 days, DermaBright MD also helps prevent them coming back.
Applying DermaBright MD twice daily in the run up to the fall will help clear up the appearance of inky splotches and help prevent future discoloration.
OmegaVive - Formulated to be pharmaceutical grade, OmegaVive supplies the perfect ratio of EPA and DHA Omega-3 fatty acids your skin needs to rebuild damaged collagen. OmegaVive also supports healthy inflammation, and helps to repair sun damage at the cellular level for a clear, healthy glow all year round.
4. Switch to a Cleanser Formulated for Mature Skin
When updating your skincare routine for the fall, one constant is proper cleansing. As your skin ages, becomes thinner, and more delicate, it’s essential to use a cleanser suitable for both mature skin and that will reduce the effects of humidity in the fall season.
Hydrate + Restore is specially formulated to be gentle enough for mature skin while strong enough to dissolve a bacterial layer known as a “Biofilm.”
Biofilms can smother your skin and prevent your skincare products from being properly absorbed. This then makes your fall routine less effective, regardless of which products you layer on top.
The good news is a gentle wash with Hydrate + Restore will dissolve any Biofilms and enhance the results of your serums and anti-aging creams.
In fact, Hydrate + Restore is linked to studies showing it helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 45% and provides 46% more hydrated-looking skin within hours.
5. Accelerate Cellular Renewal While You Sleep
Traditional fall skincare advice focuses on gentle chemical exfoliants, but this approach only addresses surface-level dead skin cells. Mature skin requires a more sophisticated approach to cellular renewal.
Applying a silky layer of Total Night Cream at bedtime will accelerate all three phases of “Cellular Turnover” (your skin’s natural exfoliation mode).
This will help remove dead skin cells while you sleep, providing gentle yet effective exfoliation that's perfect for sensitive fall skin.
Even better, Total Night Cream assists with collagen production and it rehydrates your skin through the night. This will naturally enhance your topical results in the morning, and allow you to leave the house without a drop of makeup.
