With the arrival of autumn, it’s important to adjust your skincare routine to accommodate the changing weather conditions in Lyons, Colorado.

Lyons, Colorado, experiences distinct seasonal shifts, especially during the months of August, September, and October. As summer transitions to fall, the climate can have a significant impact on your skin:

• August: Still retaining summer’s warmth, August brings with it higher temperatures and increased exposure to UV rays. This can lead to sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and dehydration of the skin.
• September: As the temperatures begin to cool, humidity levels start to drop. Your skin might start feeling tighter and drier as the natural moisture barrier is compromised.
• October: With the onset of colder weather, October introduces even lower humidity, and indoor heating becomes more common. These factors can exacerbate dryness, flakiness, and may even lead to conditions like eczema or dermatitis.

As the climate in Lyons changes, so should your skin care routine. Learn more about how we approach Skin Care at Lyon’s Health and Wellness to help you navigate these seasonal shifts.

Your skin care needs will vary depending on the weather and your specific skin concerns. Here are some essential tips to help you transition your routine as the seasons change:

• Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: As the air becomes drier in September and October, it’s helpful to keep your skin well-hydrated. Opt for richer moisturizers or hydrating serums that help lock in moisture and prevent dryness.
• Protect Against UV Damage: Even as the days get shorter, UV exposure can still cause damage. Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, particularly in the high altitudes of Lyons where UV radiation can be stronger.
• Consider Anti-Aging Treatments: With the cooler months, it’s an excellent time to consider anti-aging treatments such as Jeuveau. These treatments help minimize wrinkles, fine lines, and restore a youthful appearance. At Lyon’s Health and Wellness, we offer Cosmetic Treatment for Wrinkle Reduction to help you feel confident in your skin.
• Address Specific Skin Conditions: Common dermatologic conditions like eczema, rosacea, and dermatitis can flare up with weather changes. Our team is here to provide customized treatments for conditions like acne, dermatitis, and rosacea, ensuring your skin remains healthy and radiant. Learn more about our Skin Care Services for specific conditions.

As the seasons change, your skin undergoes various stresses, from UV radiation in summer to dry, cold air in winter. By adjusting your skincare routine according to the weather, you can better protect your skin from these environmental factors, reduce signs of aging, and keep your complexion smooth and hydrated.

Key Skincare Adjustments for Fall:

• Switch to Gentle Cleansers: As your skin may become more sensitive with cooler weather, opt for a gentle, hydrating cleanser to maintain your skin’s natural barrier.
• Incorporate Exfoliation: Mild exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and promote a more vibrant complexion. However, it’s helpful to balance exfoliation with hydration to avoid over-drying the skin.
• Use Targeted Treatments: For those experiencing age spots, dry skin, or wrinkles due to reduced estrogen and testosterone levels, consider incorporating treatments like compounded topicals or our anti-aging solutions. We customize solutions based on your age, skin type, and aesthetic needs to create smoother, better-hydrated, and more beautiful skin.
