Fall Skin Care
Fall is an important time for skincare. Not only do we need to correct a summer’s worth of damage, but it’s a critical time to prepare for those dry days of winter.
DERMAdoctor KP Duty moisturizing therapy is an excellent choice for dry skin concerns. An active moisturizer, this cream is best applied as a protective measure before the cold, dry weather of winter strips away your skin’s protective barrier.
Fall is also the time to avoid using skin care products that will dry out your epidermis. That bit of extra oil keeps the skin from becoming red, rough and irritated. Mattify without fear of parching by using DERMAdoctor Tease Zone Oil Control Gel.
Every skincare regimen starts with a cleanser. A gentle cleanser like DERMAdoctor Born to be Mild won’t strip essential oils and will help prevent overly dry skin.
It’s time to reevaluate your skincare routine and make adjustments for fall, especially if you are prone to dry skin conditions. Remember, staying ahead of chronic skin problems will keep your skin beautiful year round.
