Post-Summer Skincare: How to Transition to Fall

As summer ends and fall begins, your skin faces new challenges. The cooler air, lower humidity, and the transition from sun-drenched days to brisk evenings can cause dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. To keep your skin healthy and glowing, here are some essential tips for adjusting your skincare routine.

1. Switch to a Hydrating Cleanser

After summer’s heat, your skin may still be recovering from sun exposure, sweat, and sunscreen buildup. However, fall requires a gentler, hydrating cleanser. Consider a botanical cleanser to avoid stripping moisture and help restore your skin barrier.

• Product: ProSport Botanical Cleanser. Our hydrating and gentle, sulfate- and paraben-free daily cleanser contains 11 botanical essential oils and extracts to cleanse, condition, invigorate, and revitalize sensitive skin leaving it soft, smooth and supple. Light lathering protects the skin’s natural barrier, preventing excess drying of the skin.
• Key Ingredients: Medical Grade Peptide Complex, Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Extract
• Doctor’s orders: Use as the first step in both your morning and evening skincare routines. Always start your skincare routine with clean, dry skin.

2. Treat Sun Damage

If you’ve developed sunspots or fine lines over the summer, consider adding antioxidants like vitamin C to your routine. Vitamin C brightens your complexion, evens out skin tone, and promotes collagen production.

• Product: ProSport C-E-FA Anti-Aging Serum. This serum will soon become your new favorite! It’s a cleaner formula than others on the market and less expensive. Our multi-stabilized, highly potent vitamin- and peptide-based anti-aging serum delivers unparalleled results to combat the visible signs of aging. This highly effective serum fights against oxidative stress, treats dark spots, and helps to brighten the appearance of the skin's overall complexion. It boosts collagen production, is proven to reduce wrinkle depth by 63% in 28 days, and protects against photoaging.
• Key Ingredients: L-Ascorbic Acid 15.0%, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) 1.0%, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Ferulic Acid 0.5%, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid)
• Doctor’s orders: Apply 4 to 5 drops onto your fingers and smooth over a clean, dry face, avoiding eye area. Allow to absorb before applying additional products. Can be used in the morning or as otherwise directed.

3. Add Hydrating Serums

Incorporate a hyaluronic acid serum into your routine to provide deep hydration. Serums are lightweight but effective, and they penetrate deeper than regular moisturizers. Applying them under your moisturizer boosts hydration and plumps the skin.

• Product: ProSport Hyaluronic Collagen Booster is specially formulated to provide intense hydration, boost the moisture content and defend against moisture loss to promote softer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
• Key Ingredients: Medical Grade Multiple HAs, Vitamin E, Plankton Extract
• Doctor’s orders: Apply to the face and other targeted areas, avoiding the eye area. Can also be used as a stand-alone moisturizer or layer with other products. Allow to absorb before applying additional products. Can be used twice daily or as otherwise directed.

4. Continue Using Sunscreen

Even though the sun is less intense, UV rays still penetrate and can cause damage year-round. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily with at least SPF 30, especially when spending time outdoors. Protecting your skin from UV rays also prevents hyperpigmentation and premature aging.

• Products: Tull MD Sunscreens offer three options for the face so you can choose the one that’s best for you. They are all mineral-based, physical sunscreens and all contain medical grade skincare ingredients so you can enrich your skin while protecting it. Sheer, tinted, and brush-on powder options are available along with an antioxidant sunscreen for the body.
• Key Ingredients: Zinc Oxide and other powerful antioxidants to help sooth the skin.
• Doctor’s orders: Apply liberally and spread evenly by hand 15 minutes before sun exposure. Re-apply after swimming, excessive perspiring and towel drying.

Conclusion

Transitioning from summer to fall requires a skincare routine that focuses on hydration, protection, and repair. With the right adjustments, you can keep your skin looking and feeling its best all season long.
