If you’re someone who has sensitive skin and is easily affected by the temperature drops, the chilly fall air is definitely the season to watch out for. As our skin is adjusting from hot weather to the sudden cold, it is especially important to understand how our body (and our skin) reacts in this time of the year.

Temperature Drops, Sensitivity Rises

The change in temperature can cause a dramatic difference in our body. As the season does not give any room to adjust to the new external changes, our body’s sensitivity becomes extremely heightened. For those with normal skin, these changes may not feel explicit on the skin. However, for those with sensitive skin, this time of the year is the most crucial season to take care in case of rising skin concerns.

Do you also see these symptoms on your skin?

Sudden dryness of the skin
Flakey, dry patches around the face
Increase in facial blush and pigmentation
Rashes, bumps accompanied with itchiness

If you answered ‘yes’ to one or more of the symptoms above, then you are also in the realm of sensitive skin. This is especially more prominent with people who already have skin concerns such as eczema, atrophy, or reoccurring acne. While these problems may suddenly arise, don’t be too alarmed as we can always find a way to fix it!

So, how then can we treat sensitive skin?

At-Home Remedies

It is especially important to first start with at-home remedies instead of relying on skin treatments. This is because, while skin treatments give the temporary boost or a long-lasting remedy to a daunting skin problem, it isn’t the final solution. Skincare is a routine that is adapted for a lifetime, so it is important to know your skin type, and how you can switch into new routines according to the season.

Find a good moisturizer that is safe to use for even sensitive skin and includes hyaluronic acid. You want to find a moisturizer that is not too rich as it can clog the pores and become the root cause for nodules or acne. Rather, a hydrating but light moisturizer is best to use by layering, especially during the night time.

Make sure to use a light sunscreen even during the fall season. Sunlight can be quite harsh during this season, even as strong as the summer sunlight. Therefore, it is especially important to wear sunscreen during the daytime if you are planning to spend the day outdoors. This also helps the skin prevent possible sun spots and hyperpigmentation to darken during the fall season.

Skin Clinic Treatments

If you have a set at-home skincare routine but are still faced with skin concerns due to sensitive skin, here are some ways you can improve with treatments.

One of the reasons why the skin feels sensitive to external factors and reacts easily in the form of acne, pigmentation, or bumps is due to the skin layer being thin. As the skin barrier becomes thin, it reacts sensitively to external circumstances. One great way to improve the skin barrier and promote healthier reproduction is through Potenza microneedling treatment.

Potenza is a type of radiofrequency microneedling treatment that goes deep into the skin layer to stimulate collagen regeneration in the pores. By stimulating collagen and allowing the skin barrier to repair and reproduce, it creates a healthier skin that does not react sensitively to external factors. Therefore, for people with acne, pigmentation, facial flush or lack of volume, Potenza is the perfect fit!

Potenza is a highly popular treatment here at LAMINE Skin Clinic not just for the multitude of effects it offers, but also due to the lack of downtime and the sureness of effects. Potenza only leaves a lasting redness for 4 to 5 hours before completely fading away with no other side effects. It is also one of the skin treatments that ensures sure treatment effects even after one session!

If you are struggling to adjust to the chilly fall weather and feel that your skin is becoming even more sensitive as the days go by, inquire us about available treatment options! We will be glad to help guide you about our Potenza treatment and aftercare recommendations.
