Change of Season Skin
Relax, renew and retexturize!
Lately I am running into lots of girls with “change of season skin”. Breakouts, clogged pores & dryness. I’m telling you this is unfortunatley vvveeerrryyy common in September. After a humid, alibet rainy summer, tanning (horrors!) sunscreen, little time for skincare skin just freaks out. This is the time to ramp up your regime, exfoliate and have a facial to safely deep cleanse those congested pores. Scrubs, retinol / alphahydroxy serums and deep hydration are in order. Stay away from sudsy cleansers & hot steamy showers even though they feel so good. My favorite cleanser is Jan Marini Glycolic Cleanser. Non-sudsy, water-soluble (but I suggest removing to with a washcloth) and you can use it twice a day. It will remove make up but don’t use for eye make up removal. Ouch. Glo Therapeutic Super Serum or Glo Retinol CS serum will go to work on the brown spots and help with breakouts. Moisturize twice daily, “even though you get oily later in the day.” If your skin is functioning, it should get oilier later in the day. Oil is not the enemy, dryness is. And as Julianna will tell you, “Honey, everyone needs an eye cream.”
