Autumn Radiance: Transition Your Skincare Routine This September
can bring a new set of challenges for your skin. The drop in humidity and cooler air often lead to dryness and a compromised skin barrier.
To maintain a healthy, glowing complexion throughout the season, transitioning your fall skincare routine is key.
At Skinworks Dermatology, a premier destination for comprehensive skincare in New York City, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Javier Zelaya and our skilled team are here to help you navigate these seasonal shifts.
Whether you need a trusted dermatologist or customized anti-aging treatments, here are three easy ways to transition your regimen this September.
1. Swap out your cleanser
Summer’s foaming cleansers can strip your skin of much-needed moisture once the autumn air arrives. Switch to a milky or creamy formula to cleanse without stripping your skin’s hydration.
A gentle, hydrating cleanser preserves your natural protective barrier, ensuring your complexion stays supple and providing essential dry skin relief as the temperature drops.
2. Upgrade to a richer moisturizer
When indoor heating kicks on and outdoor humidity drops, your skin loses water rapidly. September is the perfect time to trade your lightweight summer lotion for a richer cream.
Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides lock in moisture and counter dehydration, keeping dry, flaky patches at bay and promoting long-lasting healthy skin.
3. Treat summer sun damage
Autumn is the ideal season for sun damage repair, an opportunity to address the sun spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture you may have accumulated over the summer.
Because you spend less time in direct sunlight in the fall, it’s safer to undergo rejuvenating professional procedures such as chemical peels and intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacial lasers designed to safely exfoliate and refresh your appearance.
And don’t forget the SPF!
Even though the days are getting shorter, UV rays remain a threat to your skin. Wearing sunscreen daily is a crucial part of any daily skincare regimen in the fall, just as it is in the summer, to prevent premature aging and protect your skin.
Achieving autumn radiance starts with a professional consultation. If you're looking for personalized skincare recommendations or want to book an in-office treatment with a top dermatologist in New York City, contact our team by phone or online today to schedule an appointment.
Skinworks Dermatology is conveniently located in Maspeth, Chelsea, and Park Slope.
