Fall Skin Care
Summer is officially over – it’s time to reevaluate your natural skin care regimen. As the weather cools, help your skin adjust to the change in season, and that means taking care of your skin both inside and out. What you put into your body eventually will show through your skin, the largest organ of the body.
Hydrate! Just because it’s not hot, doesn’t mean your body doesn’t require the same amount of hydration. You don’t breathe less oxygen at the change of seasons, do you? Be sure to drink enough water to keep your 
skin hydrated. Dehydrated skin looks dry, tired and may be prone to more wrinkling.
Get your vitamins! Vitamin D is essential for good looking skin and overall body health. Summer is a great time to get lots of Vitamin D from sunlight, but as the days get shorter, the children go back to school and you’re indoors a lot more than you’re outdoors, it’s important to keep adequate levels of vitamin D in your body.
Moisturize! Topical moisture is just as important as hydrating the skin from the inside. The best time to moisturize your skin is right after a bath or a shower – the skin has absorbed some of the water from the bath and is ready to have that moisture “sealed in”. Try a natural oil such as virgin coconut oil, shea butter or avocado oil for all over moisture.
Eat healthy! Autumn is the best time to visit your farmer’s market for fall fruits and vegetables such as pumpkin, yams, avocado, apples and pears. You can mash the avocado up for a great facial mask too!
Take care of your skin this fall – keep it hydrated, moisturized, and above all eat healthy foods. The skin is the largest organ of the body and should be treated with care, naturally.
