Autumn brings a cool breeze .saying goodbye to the summer heat along with the brilliant colours of the changing leaves.

As your summer complexion fades, the remains of little scars from insect bites and scratches from your trips or days at the beach become evident.

As the cool breeze sets in with the air less muggy but still warm in many areas, this is also prime walking, running, biking, rock-climbing, and hiking time. Even though weather changes may not be avoidable, seasonal skin havoc is.

If you plan and take care during this season, you will realize your skin needs a gentle and caring approach with extra nourishment and protection.

Due to post-summer sun-damage and skin dehydration you might notice one or several of the following symptoms.

• The skin feels and looks dry.

• New or first fine lines appear and become considerably visible.

• The skin tone looks dull and sallow.

• Sun and age spots appear.

• The skin is flaking and is irritated.

• The skin is sagging.

• Some broken capillaries become visible.
