As the season changes and our skin, hair and body no longer face intense UV light like in the summer, autumn presents the perfect opportunity for a beauty overhaul. With the summer sun now faded, it’s time to explore some of the helpful treatments recommended by experts to have you looking and feeling spectacular.
Firstly, if skin-charring summer sun has left you with dark spots or pigmentation patches, introduce an autumn skincare regime filled with ingredients that brighten your complexion. Dermatologists recommend products rich in niacinamide, vitamin C, and either tranexamic, glycolic or lactic acids. These agents not only erase pre-existing pigmentation but also discourage future discoloration and dark spots. During these routine additions, be sure also to continue with your daily SPF application. Year-round SPF usage prevents UV exposure, which is a major trigger for pigmentation.
Consider also the possibility of freshening up your eyebrows as part of your autumn refresh. More permanent beauty solutions like microblading for eyebrows or lip blushing and semi-permanent eyeliner are best done when daylight intensity recedes n anticipation of winter. This decrease in UV light exposure ensures less likelihood of pigment fading, meaning your beauty treatments will remain vibrant and last longer during the cooler months.
If you’ve been considering tweaking your hairstyle, autumn is a perfect time. Changing hair color or going for a shorter cut proves less hard on your hair during autumn. Seasonal factors like UV rays, salty water, and chlorine that could fade hair color are less prevalent. Additionally, a popular post-summer trend is the long bob, which, while retaining significant length, helps to seal your hair cuticles and rid your hair of dry ends.
Laser hair removal is another treatment to think about this season. Although colder weather might mean you’re wrapping up, considering a more permanent hair removal solution is prudent now. Laser treatments require a series of appointments over several months, with best results obtained when not conducted on tanned, real or artificial, skin.
If subtle wrinkles concern you, consider investing in vitamin A products. These products, available in retinol, retinal, and retinaldehyde variants, are effective on wrinkles but can sensitize skin to sun exposure. Therefore, introducing them to your skincare routine in autumn mitigates any associated risk of overexposure to UV light.
For those looking at intense treatments, procedures like Exilis Body can tighten loose skin around the knees or thigh area. This treatment uses a handheld device to heat target areas, consequently breaking down fatty deposits for natural body elimination while encouraging collagen and elastin production. This process improves skin texture and tone.
Autumn is also a time when some women experience hair changes, including more pronounced shedding. Human hair growth demonstrates a cyclical trend influenced by seasons. Moreover, those considering hair transplant should also take advantage of milder autumn weather, as it protects a healing scalp from things like sweat and sun exposure.
In sum, while based on expert opinion, remember every individual is unique. Therefore, while the recommendations above are generally safe for most, before undergoing any specific treatment, it’s vital to consult with healthcare practitioners or trained skincare and beauty therapists. This way, you can ensure the treatments align with your specific needs and skin type. Moreover, maintain your SPF regime and keep an eye on any reactions or changes, adjusting your regime as needed. Lastly, patient consistency can guarantee you glowing results for your autumn beauty overhaul and a spring in your step as you go about the fresh cool season.
