Autumn is famous for its rich colors, the turning of leaves, everything pumpkin-flavored, and for slowing transition into winter. The days are getting shorter, and the air is drier, which undoubtedly affects the skin. For this reason, adapting your skincare routine for this time of year is just as important as wearing the appropriate clothing for climate changes. These are the fall beauty trends that will help you look radiant from head to toe.
1. Renew your skin with retinol
Even though you probably reached that tan you wanted, the effects of the sun, chlorine from pool water, salt from the beach, and summer activities, possibly took their toll on your skin. This is the perfect time to renew cells and restore your skin's natural barrier, something you can achieve through the regenerative powers of Retinol. Studies show that the retinoic acid it contains improves the appearance of aging skin due to solar radiation exposure that produces deep wrinkles, roughness, and a loss of skin elasticity (1). Use it at night, before going to bed, massaging gently in circular motions.
2. Moisturize from the inside out
Water is essential for the normal functioning of the skin, especially its outer layer (2). A dehydrated complexion means dry, dull skin. That’s why it is important to drink eight glasses of water every day and use a daily moisturizer to revitalize the skin and help reduce fine lines. Keep in mind that autumn temperatures can be just as dry as summer temperatures, which is why proper hydration is the key to glowing skin.
3. Give your skin a collagen boost
If you haven't already, now is the best time to start taking a collagen supplement. Researchers found that skin collagen decreases with age. Additionally, ultraviolet rays can cause long-term changes in the skin, and since collagen is the main structural component of the skin, alternating its production can affect your skin health. (3)
4. Get back on track
After a fun summer filled with activities and special moments, getting back on the scale can be devastating. Summer is a season to unwind and indulge in cravings, which can affect your weight. Autumn is the time to get back to your routine, not only in skincare but also in your eating plan and physical activity. What’s important is to take action early before you continue to gain weight. The Entalla weight loss system offers a comprehensive, easy-to-follow, and realistic alternative to help you meet your goals and be healthy. In three simple steps, you can get the support and tools you need to lose weight and keep it off for good.
Finally, you can update your makeup by using red and earthy lip colors, another popular fall trend you can’t miss out on, especially if you want to stand out and highlight your beauty.
Let’s be healthier together.
