Your Fall Skin Reset: Simple Routines for Healthy, Glowing Skin

As the seasons change and cooler, drier weather arrives, your skin often needs a little extra attention. After a summer of sunshine, heat, swimming and outdoor activities, fall is the perfect time to reset your skincare routine and focus on hydration, nourishment and protecting your skin barrier.

At Bauman Laser & Electrolysis, we believe that beautiful skin starts with a good daily routine — and that routine doesn’t have to be complicated.

Here are a few simple ways to transition your skin into fall.

1. Start with a gentle, effective cleanse

A good cleanser is the foundation of your routine. In the fall, you want to remove makeup, sunscreen, oil and impurities without leaving your skin feeling tight or stripped.

One of our favourites is Vivier Hexam. This is a gentle gel cleanser that removes dirt, excess oil and makeup. It helps purfiy pores without stripping the skin. Formulated with Hexamidine, an antimicrobial and antibacterial agent that purifies pores without drying the skin. It’s great for all skin types including sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin.

Use it morning and evening, especially at night to remove the day’s makeup, sunscreen and environmental buildup.

2. Give your skin barrier some extra love

If you notice increased dryness, sensitivity or redness as the weather changes, it may be time to simplify your routine and concentrate on supporting your skin barrier.

One product we love for this is Vivier Redness Solution Complex. It is designed to soothe redness and irritation while helping strengthen the skin barrier. It can be particularly helpful for skin that becomes more reactive during seasonal changes.

For additional overnight nourishment, DERMA-V™ is another great option. It is designed to support the skin’s microbiome and barrier while providing hydration and helping the skin’s natural overnight repair process.

3. Keep exfoliation balanced

Fall can be a wonderful time to focus on renewing dull-looking skin after summer, but more exfoliation isn’t necessarily better.

Over-exfoliating can leave your skin feeling dry, irritated and sensitive. Instead, choose the right exfoliating products for your skin and use them according to professional recommendations. We recommend Vivier’s Vitamin C Scrub, it gently exfoliates your skin and is formulated with Vitamin C to calm and brighten, as well as Hyalouronic acid for moisture. It is gentle enough to be used daily.

If you’re considering a peel or other professional skin treatment, fall is also a great time to talk with us about what would be appropriate for your skin.

4. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!!

The fall is the time where our skin feels the effect of the change in temperature and turning on our furnaces! Take the time to daily moisturize. Our favourite at the shop is Vivier Daily Age Moisturizer. It is lightweight, and delivers antioxidant protection against environmental damage , as well as, improving the appearance of fine lines, tone, and texture.

5. Keep wearing your SPF

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean sunscreen should disappear from your routine.

UV exposure occurs throughout the year, even on cooler or cloudy days. If you’re investing in professional treatments and quality skincare, daily sun protection is one of the most important ways to protect those results.

We recommend finishing your morning routine with an appropriate broad-spectrum SPF.

6. Consider a professional skin treatment

Sometimes your skin needs more than what you can accomplish at home.

Fall is an excellent time to schedule a professional facial, Laser Genesis treatment or photo facial. These treatments can be incorporated into a well-planned skincare routine to help address concerns such as uneven-looking skin tone, dullness, redness and signs of sun exposure.

The best part? We can look at your skin and help you decide what makes sense for you rather than simply adding more products to your bathroom counter.

A simple fall routine

If you’re looking for somewhere to start, keep it simple:

Morning

• Cleanse

• Apply your recommended treatment serum

• Moisturize

• SPF

Evening

• Cleanse

• Apply your recommended treatment products

• Moisturize

And remember — your routine should be customized to your skin. What works beautifully for one person may not be the right choice for someone else.
