Australia's hot, humid Summer months are now behind us, and we are now enjoying the cooler, dryer Autumn days. With this change in season, you may also notice changes in how your skin feels. Now is a great time to change up your skin care routine to something that provides hydration, nourishment and brightening, to protect against harsh, dryer weather conditions, as well as combat extra pigmentation acquired over the Summer months. We do recommend different products depending on your skin type. In this post we talk about products for those with normal, dry and mature skin.
Tip: Besides the seasonal change, stress, dehydration and improper nutrition can impact your skin. So besides updating your skin care routine, be sure to drink at least 2 litres of water a day, eat a healthy diet rich in vegetables and fruit, and try to keep stress levels in check.
