Every season has its own distinct flavor and characteristics. And needless to say, each season brings the opportunity to update your skin care regimen in order to keep your complexion glowing and promote healthy skin care from head to toe.

The start of fall can be a tricky time for the skin, especially here in Atlanta where temperatures can fluctuate between hot and cool pretty wildly before finally settling into fall. Our expert dermatology providers wanted to provide some simple tips to help readers treat their skin this fall season.

Switch Up Your Products

The fall is a transitional season, so it makes sense to alter your skin care regimen accordingly this time of year:

• Understand your skin type and find products that are designed to help naturally oily or dry skin.
• Use hydrating products like cleansers, toners, and serums to adjust for less natural humidity and moisture in the air.
• Continue wearing sunscreen (minimum 30 SPF) to protect your skin from premature aging and skin cancer. This is important even as temperatures cool and the sun becomes less present and powerful.

Fall Is a Great Time for Laser Treatments

The fall season poses some unique advantages for patients interested in cosmetic laser treatments like laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, sun spot removal and more:

• Protecting your skin from sun exposure is critical after any laser treatment, and the more mild fall climate makes this easier.
• Starting a series of laser treatments now can help achieve final results in time for holiday season and well in time for next summer.

Fall Skin Care Can Take Many Forms

These tips can serve as a great starting point, but every person’s skin is different and specific to their genetics. The best thing to do is to speak with one of our board-certified dermatologists or physician assistants about the ideal approach to fall season skin care for you.
