Beyond the Mirror: Glow Season Starts Now
Welcome to Beyond the Mirror β my space to go deeper than products and quick fixes, and share the real tea on what it takes to care for your skin (and yourself) season by season. Because glowing skin isnβt just what you see in the mirror β itβs how you feel in your skin, too.
Now letβs talk about fall.
It isnβt just about pumpkin spice and cozy sweaters β itβs also a season where your skin decides to act brand new. Between cooler temps, dry indoor heat, and leftover sun damage from summer, your glow can go from βdewy goddessβ to βdull and flakyβ real quick. Letβs not let that happen.
Hereβs how to treat your skin this fall and keep it thriving all season long:
Hydration Overload π§
Your skinβs about to get thirsty. Cold air outside + heaters inside = instant moisture thief. Swap out lightweight gels for richer moisturizers that actually lock in hydration. Look for ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and squalane.
Exfoliate, but Donβt Be Rude π§π½ββοΈ
Summer left behind dead skin cells, sunscreen buildup, and maybe a stubborn breakout or two. Gentle exfoliation (think enzymes or lactic acid) keeps things smooth without over-stripping. Donβt go ham with harsh scrubs β your skin barrier is not here for that.
Fade the Summer Souvenirs πβ‘οΈπ
Hyperpigmentation and sun spots often sneak up after all that summer fun. This is the perfect season to tackle them because youβre out of the blasting sun more. Ingredients like vitamin C, tranexamic acid, and retinoids are your BFFs here.
Professional TLC πͺ
At-home products are a must, but this is also prime time for in-office treatments. Chemical peels, microneedling, and HydraFacials all help repair summerβs damage while prepping skin for winter. Think of it as a seasonal reset button. π
Donβt Sleep on SPF βοΈ
Yes, even in fall. UV rays didnβt pack up and leave with your swimsuits. Keep sunscreen in rotation daily β itβs still your number one anti-aging tool. π‘οΈ
