Fall Skin Care

Emily Edward

In a dry climate, fall can bring about additional challenges for skin care because of the combination of cooler temperatures and low humidity. Here are some tips to help you maintain healthy and moisturized skin during the fall in a dry climate:

  • Hydrate from Within: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and skin hydrated. Proper hydration starts from the inside out.
  • Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, hydrating cleanser that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural oils. Avoid harsh cleansers that can further dry out your skin.
  • Exfoliate Carefully: Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother complexion. However, in a dry climate, opt for gentle exfoliants and don’t overdo it. Over-exfoliation can lead to further dryness and irritation.
  • Moisturize Regularly: Invest in a rich and nourishing moisturizer that provides long-lasting hydration. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and shea butter.
  • Use a Humidifier: Using a humidifier indoors can help add moisture to the air, which can prevent excessive drying of your skin.
  • Protect Your Skin: Even though the weather might be cooler, don’t skip sunscreen. UV rays can still damage your skin, and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is important.

  • Layer Products: Consider layering your skincare products. Start with a lightweight hydrating serum, followed by a moisturizer, and finish with a facial oil or occlusive product to seal in moisture.
  • Avoid Hot Water: Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for lukewarm water when cleansing and bathing to prevent further drying.
  • Protect Your Lips: Don’t forget about your lips. Use a hydrating lip balm with SPF to keep your lips moisturized and protected from the elements.
  • Switch to a Creamier Cleanser: Consider using a cream or oil-based cleanser instead of foaming cleansers, which can be more drying.

Remember that everyone’s skin is unique, so it’s important to pay attention to how your skin reacts to different products and adjust your skincare routine accordingly. If you’re dealing with persistent dryness or skin issues, consulting a dermatologist can provide personalized advice and recommendations.

Fun for Kids of All Ages

Coco Dietz

The possibility of sending the kids outside is slowly getting less and less plausible as the temperatures keep dropping and the ice keeps stacking on top of itself. While having your kids trapped in the house with you can sound fun for the first day, it can quickly decrease in its popularity as the kids’ energy keeps growing and the house starts to feel mousy as the days continue. Having fun things planned for the whole family can help to get that energy out and have some family fun indoors where it is nice and warm. 

Family Baking!

While baking as a family can seem like a daunting task (too many cooks in the kitchen might chime in your head), setting aside the mess and the possibility of an over-stimulating experience, this could be a fun time to teach your kids how to bake while making a delicious treat that everyone will enjoy! Kids look up to and mimic their parents; they are sure to love the chance to get to do what they have watched their parents do all their lives. Don’t forget about family clean up, too! Cleaning up is no one’s favorite chore. But put on some fun music and have a family dance party as you clean up. Or you can create a game out of the clean up time. Who can put up the most dishes? Who is the best dish scrubber? The one who wins gets to eat the treat you just created together first!

Family hide and go seek with a twist.

Kids play games all the time but the only thing they probably do not do as often is get the chance to play games that they play with their peers with their parents. It can be a very fun experience to see your parents play with you like your friends do. Consider turning your house into a playground for the afternoon. Make the kitchen the safe zone and play a big game of hide and go seek with nerf guns. Instead of tagging the other players you have to hit them with your nerf gun, unless they make it to the safe zone. A fun time for kids of all ages.
