The transition of seasons is a great reminder to fine-tune your beauty routine and/or try a new product. Odds are, you’re going to spend a lot of time outdoors this fall, potentially working up a sweat and almost certainly accumulating some grime along the way. You might find yourself adventuring in the mountains, raking up leaves, or taking family portraits in the pumpkin patch. Such days can certainly fill your soul with joy, but they can also take a toll on your skin’s health if precautions are not taken.
Here are some of the most common substances that can accumulate on your skin year-round:
●Make-up
●Pollution
●Perspiration
●Dead skin cells
●Natural facial oils
●Sebum
●Chlorine
●Saltwater
●Dirt
●Sunscreen
Choosing the Right Cleanser
Water alone is not enough to extract most of the above substances from your pores. This is because many of them are not water-soluble. For example, you will struggle to remove waterproof makeup with water alone. This is where an oil-based cleanser can come in handy. If you have naturally oily skin, an oil-based cleanser can also help remove excess oil from your face, readying it to more fully benefit from the rest of your skincare routine. Looking for a place to start? Try Herbacin’s Face Care Cleansing Oil, which is suitable for all skin types and cleanses delicately without leaving an unpleasant, greasy film behind.
However convenient, you should also avoid rubbing your face with a standard bar of shower soap. Doing so could change the natural pH of your skin, giving way to dryness or irritation. Opt instead for well-researched, dermatologically tested skin care products, such as Herbacin’s Skin Solutions Creamy Face Wash. It provides gentle, yet deep, cleansing for the face, neck and décolleté, thus ensuring a squeaky-clean feeling without drying out the skin.
Don’t Forget to Exfoliate!
Though you shouldn’t exfoliate as much in the fall as you do in the summer, cutting exfoliation out of your skincare routine completely is not a good idea. Once a week, remember to use an exfoliating skin care product. Not only is giving yourself a face massage incredibly relaxing, but it can also cleanse your skin down to its pores. Try Herbacin’s Skin Solutions Gentle Face Scrub, which harnesses the power of hardened natural jojoba wax in a plant-based formula to remove dead skin cells and promote skin regeneration.
