Summer has drawn to a close and we’re fully in the wrap of Autumn, you’ve hopefully enjoyed months of glorious sunshine, felt the warmth of the sun on your skin, and embraced that coveted summer glow. If you’ve been diligently applying SPF and nourishing your skin with hydrating oils and creams, chances are your skin is looking radiant and sun-kissed. But as the days get shorter, there’s often that little worry: how do we keep the glow alive when the weather cools down?
The good news? You don’t have to lose that summer vibe! Here are just a few techniques that can guarantee that your skin remains radiant and healthy through the next few months, so before you know it you’ll make it through the winter and be ready for summer next year!
Don’t forget to exfoliate your face and body
Exfoliation is key for maintaining a radiant complexion. Regular exfoliation creates more glow and radiance as it encourages the removal of dead skin cells – not only that, once those dead skin cells are gone, you’ll notice there’s more glow. Plus, your skincare products will work more effectively. As we transition from one season to the next, it’s the perfect time to incorporate gentle exfoliation into your routine. Here’s how:
Regular gentle facial exfoliation helps you to maintain a radiance complexion by unblocking your pores, allowing impurities to be drawn out, also helping to plump the skin and, last but by no means least, helps your serums and moisturisers to work more effectively.
Regular body exfoliation will help to calm the effects of dryness we can experience as we transition from warm, humid weather to cooler weather.
Nourish from Head to Toe
We all like to look after our face, body and hair throughout the year, but as we transition from one season to the other (especially from summer to autumn) we often need to pay a little extra attention to how we nourish these specific areas of the body.
Face, Neck and Décolletage
This trio deserves some post-summer TLC. To help maintain that gorgeous summer glow, now is the perfect time to use a serum to provide anti-oxidant support to the skin. If you haven’t been as committed to using your SPF as you should have been you may notice areas of hyperpigmentation, now’s the time to tackle it! Don’t forget – it’s not just about your face – its also about your neck and décolletage. These are all areas that need some TLC after the summer.
Body Radiance
As the seasons transition, the skin on our body also requires the same amount of care that we’ve been giving it all summer, so its about continuing using skin nourishing body oils and lotions that help our skin to keep looking healthy and radiant.
Treat your hair to extra love
Yes, we love warmer weather, but as we transition to colder temperatures, the air becomes drier and this can dry your hair out too. You might need to think about giving your hair some extra love in form of a moisture boost.
Treat your hands and feet
Your feet have carried you through summer in sandals, flip-flops, and all manner of open-toed shoes, often without the daily SPF they deserve. As we move into cooler months, it’s time to show them some appreciation. Regular exfoliation, hydration, and even a moisture-rich foot mask can work wonders.
And don’t forget your hands—they are just as exposed to the elements as your face, so treat them to a nourishing hand cream that provides both hydration and protection.
With the right routine, your glow doesn’t have to fade with the sunshine—you can keep that summer glow, beautiful!
