The skin is a living organ that reacts to the environment, so these vary during the year, which means that its care must also be adapted.

Gradually the temperature drops. The colder mornings when the cold hits our face and to avoid the annoying effects that low temperatures can have, it is good to prepare the skin in time to make this transition to the most extensive and exposed organ of our body.

The consequences of summer are felt; it is common to see an excess of dead cells and the appearance of sun spots, so the first recommendation is to seek advice from a professional expert in the skin, “so that after an evaluation, they will suggest the appropriate treatment depending on each case”, explains María Olga Estrada, director of the clinic of the same name. She adds, “I recommend a professional or at-home peel, with deep cleansing and moisturizing. This recommendation is valid for all skin types at all ages”.

The drop in temperature tends to dry out the skin, so it is essential to pay particular attention to its hydration. Dr. Irene Araya, dermatologist at Clínica Santa María, comments: “In this transition, it is important to maintain summer care, but with more emphasis on skin hydration.”

In addition, when the temperature begins to drop, the cold can lead to consequences such as chapped lips, frostbite and dry hands. The specialist points out that this treatment is all the more relevant in the case of the elderly, because “they tend to produce fewer fats and molecules that help protect and hydrate the skin, which generates severe itching, which can cause images of dermatitis or inflammation”.

With regard to pathologies like these, we must also consider that when temperature changes begin, people with sensitive skin can activate conditions such as rosacea, so we must try to avoid sudden changes and worry to use the right products for their daily care habits. On this subject, María Olga Estrada points out: “In autumn, the skin can become particularly reactive against the residues released by the leaves, so night cleansing becomes even more important, followed by serums and moisturizing emulsions.”

But the arrival of autumn can also bring some benefits. Dr. Carmen Gloria Fuentes, dermatologist at Clínica Ciudad del Mar, points out: “Now is the best time to do depigmentation or rejuvenation treatments, either with creams, laser or peeling, because UV radiation decreases. ” In addition, it is currently possible to resume the use of products such as retinoic acid with greater serenity, since its photosensitive effect makes it complex in the summer season.

Although UVB radiation decreases in the fall, UVA radiation remains the same; “And these rays also damage the skin, so you should continue to use sunscreen,” Dr. Fuentes points out. Dr. Irene Araya also refers to it: “You should not trust yourself and you should continue to apply sunscreen every three to four hours on photo-exposed areas, especially the face.” Also, never forget that these products also help prevent the effects of blue light emanating from screens.

Dermatologist Carmen Gloria Fuentes also suggests measuring vitamin D levels at this time, “since it may be deficient due to the decrease in UVB. It can be measured in the blood and, if necessary, taken in drops or capsules”. In the same area, Dr. Araya refers to the skin/food relationship at this time, and suggests “maintaining a balanced diet, consuming vegetables, fruits and legumes, and consuming water in the proper amounts age-appropriate”, also emphasizing the importance of physical activity.
