Even in fall, Florida’s sun remains strong, and humidity levels affect skin differently than in cooler climates. Key skin care recommendations for this season:

Continue daily broad-spectrum sunscreen

Use lightweight moisturizers for humid days, richer creams for dry mornings/evenings

Avoid long, hot showers that can dry skin

Monitor for new rashes or irritation caused by seasonal allergens

Persistent dryness or flare-ups should be evaluated by a dermatologist.

Starting a series now allows for visible results before the holiday season. Contact Southeastern Dermatology to learn if IPL is appropriate for you.

Repair and Refresh Your Skin After Sun Exposure

Sun exposure can leave your skin dry, uneven, or show early signs of damage. There are medical and cosmetic treatments that help restore and protect your skin.

Medical options: Treatments for actinic keratoses (AKs), sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and other precancerous or sun-damaged lesions—including cryotherapy, topical therapies, laser treatments, and PDT (blue light therapy)—target sun-related damage at its source.

Cosmetic options:

IPL reduces redness, brown spots, and uneven pigmentation.

Chemical peels exfoliate dead skin cells and improve skin tone and clarity.

Microneedling stimulates collagen for firmer, smoother skin.

Facials hydrate, soothe, and restore skin health.

Daily sunscreen is key for long-term skin health.
