3 Fall Skincare Ingredients You Can't Live Without

As the seasons change, your skin also changes. With September now in full swing, it's time to rejuvenate your skin after the sun damage from the summer, and to tackle new skin concerns that arise with the changing season such as dryness and dullness. Here are your esthetician's favorite Fall Skincare Ingredients:

Pumpkins

Every autumn, without fail, the pumpkin craze kicks off - from pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin pies, everyone is eager to sample this seasonal treat. However, did you know that pumpkins offer more than just culinary pleasure? Packed with enzymes, beta-carotene, amino acids, and antioxidants, pumpkins can work wonders for your skin.

How can you incorporate Pumpkin into your skincare?

• A Pumpkin Facial: Our professional Yam & Pumpkin Peel dissolves dead skin cells, improving the texture of the skin and prepares it for all of the nutritional goodness afterwards. Improves the look of hyperpigmentation (which is especially good after summer,) detoxifies, and reduces the signs of aging. Book Now

• Pumpkin Bubble Cleanser: Our OxyGlow Pumpkin Bubble Cleanser is an innovative face wash which bubbles upon application, oxygenating, and deep cleaning the skin by breaking down makeup and dirt.

  Pumpkin is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C to help hydrate and soften the skin.  Naturally, pumpkin boosts collagen production and gently encourages cell turnover. Learn More/Shop

Licorice Root

Fall is the perfect time to correct any sun damage that occurred during the summer months. Licorice root, which is found several products in our Bright Skin Collection, helps brighten the appearance of uneven or sun damaged skin for a more youthful appearance.

How can you incorporate Licorice Root into your skincare?

• Bright Skin Licorice Root Exfoliating Peel: This results-oriented peel helps brighten the appearance of uneven or sun damaged skin for a more youthful appearance.

Apples

Aside from general fall nostalga, apples have several benefits to the skin. The natural acids in apples can help maintain the skin's natural pH balance, which can help manage acne. They also have high levels of polyphenols, which can help keep the skin plump and supple.

How can you incorporate Apples into your skincare?

• A Customized Facial featuring the AHA Fruit Pulp Treatment: Not everyone has to get a pumpkin facial for fall. Our professional-only AHA Fruit Pulp Treatment features apples (as well as grapes) to help nourish, tone and brighten the look of skin. Lactic acid and naseberry help remove dead skin cells to refine the skin’s appearance allowing more effective penetration of other products. Book a Custom Facial

• The Age Corrective Starter Set: This whole set includes products that contain Eminence Organic's PhytoCellTec™ Swiss Green Apple Stem Cells. These are plant stem cell concentrates that delays the appearance of visible signs of aging while boosting collagen. Learn More/Shop
