This is the time of year that should be spent treating post-summer skin since the sun spent the last few months damaging it. Your tan is probably faded and you will start to notice that your skin looks different. It will most likely seem a little duller, a little drier, and a little more uneven; so how do we fix this?

One way to start is to give yourself a facial or go get one. Spend an hour or so pampering your skin in five easy steps.
Step One: Cleanse
Use a milky or creamy cleanser to wash away and soften the dead skin. This will leave the skin clean, but also nourished because you won’t be stripping away its moisture with a foamy cleanser.
Step Two: Tone
Try using a light refreshing mist as opposed to a harsh astringent with a high alcohol content because that will leave the skin dry. A mist will restore the skin to a balanced state and remove excess residue left behind by your cleanser.
Step Three: Exfoliate
I suggest using something non-abrasive and that won’t leave the skin red and irritated. At the moment I’m really into enzyme peels because they digest the dead skin cells as opposed to sluing them off with a mechanical scrub, which can be too stimulating and vigorous for the skin.

Step Four: Mask
You’re going to want to do a mask, one that doesn’t dry, but moisturizes. Yogurt, avocado, honey, bananas, and milk are good home remedies. If you decide to make one here’s a website with good recipes, http://www.ehow.com/how_4509647_homemade-moisturizing-facial-mask.html.
Let mask rest on the skin for at least 15 minutes to allow it time to penetrate into the skin.
Step Five: Moisturize
The last step is to moisturize, preferably something with an SPF of 15 or higher.
These five easy steps will renew your skin, leaving it bright, moist and ready for winter. If you have any specific concerns or want to customize your facial even further to address specific concerns like hyperpigmentation or rosacea, then feel free to ask.
