As the sweltering summer sun gives way to the crisp embrace of fall, it’s time to revamp your skincare routine. Tampa dermatologist Dr. Panos Vasiloudes, MD, PhD, shares essential tips for keeping your skin happy and healthy as the leaves change and pumpkin spice lattes take over the world.
Embrace the Seasonal Shift
You might be ready for sweater weather, but is your skin? The drop in humidity can make your skin feel like the Sahara, causing dryness and irritation. Dr. Vasiloudes says, “Both kids and adults might notice their skin feeling tighter or rougher. Common issues include dry skin, eczema flare-ups, and chapped lips.” His pro tip: use a humidifier, moisturize religiously, and avoid those long, hot showers that feel great but wreak havoc on your skin.
