5. Treat acne correctly.
A common myth is that the sun clears up acne, but in many cases the opposite is true if you spend too much time in the sun. Try a pore rescue/clarity serum for breakouts, to diminish the look of blemish scars, exfoliate pores and stimulate collagen production.

4. Repair your lips to soft and subtle.
If the summer sun and chlorine has left your lips dry and cracked, nourish your lips back to health with concentrated moisture. A gentle scrub like a lip buff or lip exfoliate will help smooth out dry, cracked lips and leave them soft and supple. For daily use, opt for an anti-aging product (peptides) with moisture and UVA/UVB protection.

3. Smooth skin requires exfoliation.
If your skin is dull and rough from a summer of outdoor activities even the most advanced moisturizer won’t help because your skin’s surface is covered in dry, dead skin cells. Exfoliating regularly at home with a body scrub and a facial scrub will help to reveal smooth skin and improve the absorption of skin products. Jump start this great ritual and slip right into your smooth skin for fall with a exfoliating, nourishing and hydrating facial with your Esthetician.

Tips for Preparing your Skin for Fall.
One of the best parts of Summer is spending it outside on the beach, at barbecues and in the pool. Unfortunately, soaking up sunshine and chlorine damages our skin and shows in your complexion in the fall and winter months.

1. Start with the facts.
Sun exposure depletes collagen. Collagen is the glue-like substance that supports and connects tissues and is responsible for firmness, elasticity and protections. The sun makes collagen break down, damaging its suppleness and promoting early aging.

Diets high in essential fatty acids (cold water fish like salmon, walnuts, soybeans, tofu and flax seed) will repair cells and protect from further damage while diets high in antioxidants (whole grains, veggies, fruits and nuts) will repair and protect your skin.

2. Reevaluate your sunscreen strategy. 
Sunscreen should be worn year-round. Conventional sunscreens only protect against surface, sun-burning UVB light. To protect the deeper skin layers vulnerable to photo-aging, you need a product that protects against UVB (burning rays) and UVA (aging rays) in your skincare regimen. 

Example: use a product containing a non-irritating, chemical-free, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide formula, this broad spectrum solution effectively shields against both UVA and UVB light to keep skin naturally safe.

FEED your skin the nutrition it needs from the inside as well! Fifth of the skin beautifying foods. Hemp Seeds, these tiny little seeds are composed of a massive amount of protein, including the sulfur-bearing amino acids: methionine, cysteine, and cystine, which are used to build strong hair, nails, muscle, and skin.

They also have the ideal ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids (1:3), and even include omega 9, which are all strong antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is the cause of many of our skin woes, including blemishes and wrinkles, so adding hemp seeds to your diet can help reduce or prevent those skin issues.

Enjoy them on their own, sprinkled in salads, or blended in smoothies.

FEED your skin the nutrition it needs from the inside as well! Fourth of the skin beautifying foods. Avocados, this creamy fruit delivers a healthy dose of vitamins on its own. Even better: when you pair avocado with a carotenoid-rich food, such as tomatoes, carrots, or bell peppers, it can help you absorb up to five times more of the antioxidants lycopene and beta carotene.
