As easy as it is to convert a summer dress for fall with a sweater and boots, it’s just as easy transitioning your skincare routine each season. Your Knoxville Dermatology Group gathered some tips on how to keep your summer glow while the weather cools down.

Avoid anything harsh or extreme. This includes keeping the temperature of your showers and baths from getting too hot, even when it’s cold outside. Start including creamier moisturizers in your routine for both your body and your face. This will help create a barrier for your skin against the elements.

Another way to keep your skin balanced through any seasonal transition is a balanced diet. Omega 3-rich foods and antioxidant rich foods make a big difference in the way your body feels and how your skin looks.

Last, but certainly not least, apply sunscreen every day. Even when you are covered in layers of sweaters, scarves and jackets, you still need to apply a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 30. The sun’s harmful rays can still burn your skin in cooler weather and on overcast  days. So protect your face, neck and hands every day because healthy skin is in season all year long!
