Crisper and cooler temps have arrived. As we go

from picking apples to playing in the snow, keep

your skin healthy, feeling fresh and looking young.

1) Protect yourself from the sun all year long, even

in the fall and winter months. Ultraviolet rays can

damage your skin, which leads to wrinkles, age

spots, thinning of skin and skin cancer. You can

protect yourself with sun protective clothing and

wearing sunscreen. Clothing should cover your arms

and legs and don’t forget the hat to protect your

face and scalp. Broad-spectrum sunscreen with at

least an SPF of 30 should be applied 20-30 minutes

before going outside and reapplied every 1-2 hours.

Don’t forget about your lips since they get a lot of

sun exposure too. Apply a lip balm with SPF for

protection. Sunglasses protect your eyes and help

minimize squinting, which contributes to wrinkles

around the eyes.

2) Take good care of your skin by cleansing your face

twice daily. Use a gentle cleanser or a mild soap and

avoid harsh soaps and facial scrubs. Eye makeup can

also be removed with a mild cleanser or you can

use a gentle lotion or cream. Apply this to a makeup

remover pad and gently wipe. After cleansing, you

can moisturize your face with a gentle lotion or

cream. This is especially important during the cold

weather, since wind and cooler temps can leave

your face feeling dry and rough. For your body,

mild soaps should also be used. After bathing, pat

your skin dry and apply a moisturizer. This helps

seal in the moisture. Shaving can also irritate and

dry the skin. Apply a warm washcloth for 5 minutes

before shaving. Use a shaving cream or gel on the

face and then shave in the direction of hair growth.

If you experience ingrown hairs or razor bumps,

see your dermatologist for help. They can prescribe

topical medications that can help.

3) Avoid smoking or second hand smoke exposure.

Smoking rapidly ages your skin by causing

premature wrinkles. Nicotine in cigarette smoke

leads to less blood flow to the skin and other

chemicals in tobacco damage elastic and collagen

fibers, which provide support and structure to the

skin. This contributes to thinning skin and volume

loss. In addition, the pursing of lips while inhaling

a cigarette will lead to the appearance of wrinkles

around your mouth.

4) Examine your skin regularly for new moles and

growths or any changing, growing, bleeding moles

or growths. About 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin

cancer (American Academy of Dermatology). If you

do find any new moles or spots, make an appointment

to have them evaluated by your dermatologist. Not

sure where to start? Get a full body skin exam by

your dermatologist and have them help you identify

what to look for. The fall and winter seasons are the

best time to have your skin examined since your skin

is at its palest and irregular spots are easier to see.
