Cleanse. It seems basic, but cleansing twice a day, every day is a must. Sally Larsen from Sally B’s Skin Yummies says, “Dirt and debris clog pores and cause your skin to appear dull.” Keep your glow going by cleansing regularly. Exfoliate. Spa Sydell’s Elisa Townsend says, “A basic exfoliant will help to remove superficial dead skin cells and make 5:31 PM pores appear smaller.” When you select a scrub, Larsen says, be sure to evaluate your options. “Abrasive scrubs, like those containing apricot pits, can create tiny cuts in the epidermis. Scrubs with plastic beads are gentle on your face but hard on the environment.” Instead of those, she recommends exfoliating with a toner with alpha hydroxy acids (AHA). Rejuvenate. Leslie Brothers, owner of Health & Beauty Boutique, suggests a photofacial, or laser facial, to rejuvenate skin in fall and winter. It works by boosting collagen production in the dermis. “Skin thins as the aging process occurs, but the photofacial helps to thicken and tighten the skin,” Brothers explains. This noninvasive treatment can lessen age or sunspots and redness with no downtime. Protect.Your skin needs year-round protection both from the sun and from harmful ingredients that fill many skin care products. Townsend says, “Use a daily moisturizer with a broad spectrum SPF of 25.” When evaluating a sunscreen’s ingredients – or the ingredients of any skin product – use your resources. Larsen recommends, “Use the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep online database or their free app to identify and avoid toxic chemicals in your personal care products.”
