Autumn Skincare Tips for Floridians (and Those Traveling to Colder Climates)

September 10th, 2023

Autumn in Florida may not bring the chilly winds and snowfall that other states experience, but the change in season still calls for a tweak in our skincare routines. Whether you’re staying in the Sunshine State or traveling to colder climates, we’ve got you covered with essential autumn skincare tips.

Embracing Florida’s Unique Autumn

While Florida may not experience the traditional fall foliage and crisp air, the subtle shift in weather can still impact our skin. As the humidity slightly drops and the air becomes a tad drier, it’s essential to adjust our skincare routine to maintain that radiant Florida glow.

  1. Stay Hydrated Inside and Out: The importance of hydration cannot be overstated. Continue drinking plenty of water and consider incorporating hydrating facials to deeply moisturize the skin.
  2. Sun Protection Year-Round: Florida’s sun doesn’t take a break, and neither should your sun protection routine. If you’re unsure about the best SPF for your skin type, our dermatology providers can provide personalized recommendations.
  3. Gentle Exfoliation: With the decrease in humidity, your skin might feel a bit parched. A gentle exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter complexion underneath.
  4. Lip Care: Start using a hydrating lip balm to prevent chapped lips, a common issue as the weather cools down.

Prepping for Colder Climates

If you’re planning to travel to colder regions, your skin will need some extra TLC to combat the harsher conditions.

  1. Richer Moisturizers: Switch to a more robust moisturizer to combat the drying effects of cold air. Our team can suggest medical-grade products that provide intense hydration.
  2. Layer Up with Serums: Just as you’d layer your clothes, layer your skincare. A hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C can be a game-changer in colder climates.
  3. Protect Those Hands: Cold weather can be especially harsh on your hands. Use a good hand cream to keep them soft and youthful.
  4. Revitalize with Facials: Consider getting a facial before your trip. Our range of facials, tailored to various skin needs, can prep your skin for the journey ahead.
  5. Pack a Lip Mask: If you’re heading to a particularly cold area, a lip mask can provide intense hydration and repair chapped lips overnight.
