Fall Skincare Favorites!

It's that time of year again when the weather starts getting cool, leaves start changing colors, sweaters make their way to the front of the closet and pumpkins are everywhere you turn from decorations to drinks. Yes, this is one of the most popular and favorite seasons, but chillier weather isn’t always great for your skin. As your warm summer glow fades, dryness can start to set in. Not to worry, we've got you covered with everything you need to keep that radiant and soft skin all season!

Even if you don’t normally consider yourself to have dry skin, the change in seasons has a way of evaporating all the moisture in the air...and on your face. Natural Squalane Oil is harvested from olives which means it's environmentally friendly and cruelty-free. This non-comedogenic moisturizing facial oil mimics your natural sebum, improving skin elasticity by increasing moisture retention and nutrients. In addition to it's moisturizing properties squalane oil fights free radicals and bacteria making it a safe option for all skin types and ages.

If you still aren't sure about trying MedPeel Natural Squalane Oil as a daily moisturizer, prefer a cream or like to double up due to dry and dehydrated skin then Hyaluronic Moisturizer Cream may be the answer. Hyaluronic acid may sound scary, but it holds the key to smooth, flawless and hydrated skin. Gentle enough for everyday use, Hyaluronic Moisturizer Cream is a rich, powerful moisturizer that is the perfect heaviness for cooler weather. You can use it as your daily cream or leave it on overnight for deep penetration--either way, skin will be left plump, softened, and renewed.

Think an exfoliator is too rough on your skin during the colder seasons? Think again. Glycolic Acid 10% Daily Exfoliator is just what you need to prevent the buildup of dead skin cells. Exfoliating maintains your complexion to keep breakouts away, while the glycolic acid minimizes pores. Renewed skin and smaller pores? Sounds like the perfect base for moisturizers that will keep skin hydrated and smooth.

Your skin might do even better with a scrub, like the one found in the Fusion Duo Kit. The microdermabrasion scrub is light enough to use every day, but powerful enough to rejuvenate skin. Paired with the kit’s Pro Collagen Serum, skin is left renewed and strengthened. The serum’s boost of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and natural extracts restores elasticity. Healthy skin can withstand even the toughest of winters.

When you’re coming out of the sunny summer, your skin may look great: there’s no mistaking that healthy glow of a happy vacation. But because most people forget to use their SPF (yeah...we mean you), that glow can come with sun damage that is much more evident when your tan fades. The powerful antioxidants in Vitamin C30X Anti-Aging Serum fights to diminish UV Damage, sun spots, and other visible signs of hyperpigmentation. By promoting healthier skin function, this serum can reduce inflammation, minimize fine lines, and even helps to protect the most delicate areas around the mouth and eyes.

One of the most surprising things to switch up during the winter months is your cleanser. All cleansers are not made equal and what works in summer doesn’t always work the rest of the year. During the summer, it’s important to be able to wash away heavy sunscreens…not to mention the heavy sweat! Swapping out a more gentle cleanser in fall will keep your skin from stripping when it’s at it’s most vulnerable. Pre-Peel Cleanser is perfect for everyday use and will encourage necessary skin cell turnover. Your skin: clean and ready for your heavier moisturizing products. You: radiant and gorgeous.
