With fall weather officially here, now is the time to switch up your skincare routine for the colder temps. The key steps for me this time of year are using thick, creamy moisturizers to face and body, gentle cleansers and decreasing the use of anti-aging retinoids to every other night. I keep a really simple skin care routine and almost everything can be found at your local drugstore. My AM steps are gentle cleanser, a Vitamin C antioxidant serum then moisturizer with SPF 50. My PM steps are gentle cleanser, Retin A then moisturizer. Keep in mind that everyone’s skin is different so use what you love and feel works for you.

1)Soap: I use sensitive skin body wash. Take shorter showers in colder weather so as to not strip the skin of moisture. For the face, I’m obsessed with micellar gel wash or micellar water, foaming cleanser and ultra gentle facial cleanser. I use a gentle scrub (like ) a few times a week (be careful with sensitive skin).

2)Moisturizer: I use a thick moisturizer in a jar like moisturizing cream right after showering all over my body. Clinical Care and Lipikar are other favorites. For face, I use healthy defense SPF50 or Prevage City Smart SPF 50 in the morning and love cream hydroboost or Waterboost for nighttime over Retin A.

3)Eyes and lips: I sleep with either or ointment on my eyelids to prevent dry skin. Aquaphor and Vasoline are also fab for the lips at night and they prevent chapped, cracked lips year round. I also use Retin A for anti-aging to my entire face (every other night only in winter).

4)Antioxidants: I use Phloretin under sunscreen every morning. If you are not acne prone, CE Ferrulic is perfect.
•
5)Hair: is my fave leave in conditioner.
