10 Autumn Skincare Swaps

​Did you know your skin changes with the seasons and weather? I’m sure many of you who live in places that experience all 4 season are aware that skin gets drier in cold months.  But are you treating your skin with the same products all year round?
 
Swapping your skincare as your skin changes will help keep skin nourished, healthy, and radiant any time of year.  Here are 10 tips for swapping out your skincare now that we’ve entered Fall and heading into Winter. 

1. Swap out fruity bath gels for a non-drying creamy body wash like Beautycounter’s Citrus Mimosa Body Wash.  Nice fresh scent, never any synthetic fragrance.
2. Add an oil based sugar scrub to your routine for extra hydration. Your body will love the exfoliating benefits plus oil based hydration so goodbye dryness.  My choice, Beautycounter's Lemongrass Sugar Bodyscrub. 
3. Exfoliate! Slough away dead skin cells to reveal fresh more radiant skin. Choose cleansers with jojoba beads like those found in our Nourishing Cream Exfoliator or Countercontrol Clear Pore Cleanser.
4. Moisturize daily after showering with a clean lotion like Beautycounter’s Body Lotion in Cirtrus Mimosa. Never greasy, and no selects added. You should always know what's going on  your skin. 

5.  Check your skin out. Is it getting oilier? Drier? Are you products going on as they usually do or are you needing something different? Take this quiz to see what regimen works best for your skin now.
6.  Add Vitamin C. If your skin suffered a bit of damage from the sun during hot months, try adding some vitamin C packed products to help brighten skin and even out dark spots.  Find a boost in our Brightening Facial Oil or Rejuvenating Radiance Serum. 
7.  Keep a regular routine. Have a great facial Mask? Do it the same days each week so you don’t miss.  Giving our Overnight Peel a try? M-W-F is simple to remember and enough to give you visible results.  Smoother skin and glow anyone?
8.  Continue using sunscreen. These are great safe options for your face - Countersun Mineral Lotion or Sunscreen Stick. Apply after moisturizer but before makeup

9.  Give your pedicure a makeover! Swap out light bright shades for deeper colors like these from safe polish company Cote.
10.  Hand cream hand cream everywhere! Keep one in your purse, at your sink, and maybe in your nightstand! Our new Holiday Hand Cream Trio includes yummy scents like Monoi, Petal, and Lavender.  (Perfect for gifting!)
