**Fall reset, no filter 🍂**
The seasons changed, and so did my skin. Once the cooler, damper Skagit Valley weather rolls in, my summer routine stops working: the heat goes on, the air dries out, and my skin starts asking for more.
Here’s what I switched up:
✨ **Hydration + barrier support.** HA5 Hydrator stays in my routine morning and night. Since I’m adding actives back in, I switched to TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream at night to support my barrier.
✨ **Repair mode.** Fall is when I focus on undoing summer’s sun damage. That means antioxidant serums to protect and repair, plus targeted products to correct uneven color and texture.
✨ **Tretinoin is back.** With less sun exposure, it’s the right time to restart prescription tretinoin. If you’re planning any facial treatments, check with your provider before adding it back in.
✨ **SPF still matters.** It’s still your number one preventative tool against skin damage, and UV doesn’t take the winter off, even in the PNW. 🌧️
Your skin isn’t the same in October as it was in July, so your routine shouldn’t be either.
Want a routine built for **your** skin this season? Book a skin consult with me. I’ll look at your skin, talk through your goals, and put together a personalized product and treatment plan. That could include laser, microneedling, or the right at-home products to get you through the dry months.
