I think of November as a ‘transitioning’ month in skin care. Why? Simply because in the Central Texas area we gradually move from a warmer climate to a cooler dryer climate.
When the seasons change so does your skin.
In humid months the skin stays more hydrated, but as we move into a dryer climate with cooler temperatures the moisture can become depleted showing signs of flakiness, dehydration and eventually sensitivity.
Some things that can cause these symptoms are:
- Cleansers that strip the skin
- Over exfoliation
- Buff puffs
- Sulfates
- Drying alcohols in toners
SOLUTION: Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare Products
- Cleanse – A gentle cleanser free of sodium lauryl sulfate; instead Osmosis uses soothing natural kiwi and kumquat derivatives to purify the skin. Results are refreshed, hydrated and radiant skin.
- Quench – An intense moisturizer containing high amounts of hyaluronic acid, organic shea butter and jojoba seed oil to provide various lipids that restore the epidermal barrier.
- Shade or Protect – Sunscreen that is broad spectrum and hydrating. Sunscreen is essential year round.
Following this simple regimen will alleviate any irritating symptoms during the fall and winter months.
