6 ways to transition your skincare routine from summer to fall

1. Start using a booster

We all know to use cleansers, toners and moisturizers with SPF in them but what we don’t realize is that we’re missing an important step in between. Applying a booster before your serum and moisturizer helps to not just hydrate but actually strengthen your skin, as well as supercharge the products you put on afterward. Elizabeth Arden’s SUPERSTART Skin Renewal Booster (thebay.com) also has key ingredients like flaxseed extract, sea fennel and other ingredients work synergistically to help keep your skin smooth and youthful-looking.

2. Your best bet is a good base

Our skin is bombarded on a daily basis from environmental stresses like the sun and pollution, which can cause our skin to prematurely age, leaving us with wrinkles we definitely didn’t earn through laughter. Prevention is essential to healthy looking skin at every age. Powerful antioxidants like Idebenone found in the PREVAGE® line (thebay.com) will help to prevent further damage and start to correct what’s already been done, allowing your natural beauty to shine through.

3. Keep it simple when you’re in a time crunch

On days when you don’t have time for your regular routine and you’re dashing out the door, this compact provides great coverage with easy to apply, dab and go convenience. Plus, Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup SPF 15 (thebay.com) contains light-diffusing ingredients which help to blur fine lines and imperfections while giving your skin a youthful and radiant glow.

4. Less is more

No-makeup makeup is everywhere this fall and choosing the right products is key to nailing the trend. Choose lightweight foundations that help to keep the skin moisturized all day. Flawless Finish Perfectly Nude Liquid Makeup SPF 15 gives you the coverage you need for an even, radiant complexion while moisturizing all day long. And for days when you want to wear even less, try a tinted moisturizer like the Pure Finish Mineral Tinted Moisture Cream SPF 15 (thebay.com) that gives you just the slightest hint of colour for a fresh, dewy look.

5. Younger skin needs attention too

It’s easy to forget about your skin when you’re younger, but this is the best time to start establishing your skincare routine. Younger skin tackles things like acne and flaky skin, so using products with Vitamin A derivatives can help to even out skin tone while reducing the look of pores. Starting off with an easy four-step system like Visible Difference (thebay.com), which includes the Peel and Reveal Revitalizing Mask, will create the habit of a healthy skincare regimen you will use for the rest of your life.

6. As you age so does your skin

Despite even your best efforts your skin naturally begins to lose its lustre as you age but luckily there are a few things you can start adding into your skincare routine that will help to combat these signs of aging. Incorporating skin-plumping products will help to replenish your skins natural lipids that aim to strengthen, lift, firm and retexturize your skin’s appearance (thebay.com). We may not be able to actually turn back the clock but we can definitely look like we have.
