Transition Your Skincare Like A Pro

The pursuit of perfection is endless. All year round, we desire skin that’s pristine in every way…a visage that’s free of texture, void of blemishes and beams from fifty feet away. But navigating seasonal shifts in weather can be challenging. As soon as you adjust to the dewy glow of summer…it’s fall; the temperature rapidly drops and quickly robs our radiance.

But i am here to keep you from falling into the thirsty skin trap this fall. Read on as i share share the best tips for preserving your pretty while transitioning to cooler temps….
OILY SKIN

At first, you’d think that cooler weather is a godsend for oily skin. Right? Wrong! Celebrity aesthetician Angela Caglia, who has worked with Helena Christensen, Minnie Driver, and Louise Roe, explains, “Cool air creates layers of dead skin build-up which can trap blackheads and blemishes.” Ewww, gross. So for oily skin, consistently ridding skin of superficial layers is key. “Regular exfoliation helps eliminate build up and creates an immediately brighter complexion. I prefer acid based exfoliants because they exfoliate without creating micro tears or capillary fragility.”

NORMAL SKIN
“Normal” skin makes its way through summer practically unscathed…but watch out; fall is coming for you. Angela shares: “There’s a big need for moisture for normal skin during colder seasons. Look for a cream with healthy essential fatty acids and natural oils such as jojoba oil, meadowfoam seed oil, or avocado oil. You can also step it up by applying a face oil in the evening or layer it with your moisturizer.”
