Skincare is similar to your closet: occasionally, it needs an upgrade! Especially with the changes in season. Now that Fall is upon us, here’s how you can upgrade your Fall skincare routine from the late summer heat to the crisp autumn chill:
1. EXFOLIATE
With colder temperatures, it’s easier for skin to get dry and stay dry. Get rid of flaky, dry skin by exfoliating two to three times a week, especially in the dry Colorado weather. We love Image’s Total Resurfacing Mask and The MD Cleanser, both exfoliating products that will leave your skin soft and smooth without over drying it. If you’d like to go the extra mile, you can also come in for a Microdermabrasion, which will deeply exfoliate your skin and leave it glowy and smooth.

2. CHANGE UP YOUR MOISTURIZER
Cooler temperatures and wind makes it a good time to reach for a power-packed, thick moisturizer. Unlike summer when skin tends to get oily more easily, the fall and winter months require a heavier-duty cream like Image’s Vital C Hydrating Repair Creme. Have extra dry skin and want to moisture-pack your skin even further? Add Image’s Vital C Hydrating Enzyme Masque to your skincare twice a week and feel the difference.

3. TREAT YOURSELF: IPL’s, PEELS, LASER HAIR REMOVAL, HYDRATING FACIALS
Since fall entails decreased sun exposure, it is the perfect time to do treatments that require you to stay out of the sun, like IPL’s, Peels, and Laser Hair Removal. Moreover, IPL’s will treat hyperpigmentation and/or sun spots that may have appeared on your skin due to sun exposure during the summer months, while Peels will leave you with soft, fresh, baby skin for the long cold months ahead. In addition, if you begin your laser hair removal treatments in the Fall, you’re guaranteed to be hair-free and ready to bare everything once summer comes around again. Not to mention that if you are suffering from dry, irritated skin, a hydrating facial would do wonders for you! Check out our website here to learn more about all of these treatments and prices.
4. PERSONALIZE
There are a variety of treatments and products available to make you even more gorgeous, but don’t forget to consider all your personal factors together in order to decide what works best for you, like age, climate, skin type, etc. For example, a 37 year old in Colorado will need a more intense cream than a recent college grad living in Florida, who could get away with a serum and a lightweight moisturizer. If you’re unsure about what you need, check with one of our estheticians and get an entire skin routine especially personalized for YOU.
