From: Your Aspen Esthetician
To: Your At-Home Skincare Routine

Fall is finally starting to arrive here in Aspen. The Aspen trees are turning gold, and the temperatures are definitely getting cooler. It’s a natural time to start thinking about transitioning skincare from summer to fall.

September was National Skincare Awareness Month. You can make skincare awareness last longer than a month with “Pila’s Top 10 Dos and Don’ts of Skincare.”

Loving your skin isn’t vanity. It’s sanity! Remember, 80% of your results come from your at-home skincare routine and 20% from professional treatments.

Both play a vital role in maintaining healthy, glowing skin, so make sure to click here to read more on “How To Rock Your Skincare Routine With The 80/20 Rule.”

Top 10 Dos Of Skincare

Do start the season right by scheduling regular professional facials performed by a skincare professional (like me). Get that fall glow with microdermabrasion, dermaplaning, and some chemical peels.
Do switch to a creamy cleanser: Using a gel cleanser can leave your skin feeling dry and tight, undoing all the good things from the night before. Try the Pomegranate Antioxidant Cleanser from Skin Script to keep your face soft and hydrated.
Do extend your skincare: Skincare isn’t just for the face…Yep, extend your skincare products onto your neck, chest and body. These areas are exposed to the elements as much as our face and will greatly benefit.
Do moisturize daily: No one wants their skin as dry as fall leaves, which is why moisturizing is key. The best time to do this is after a shower once you have pat dry. If you tend to have rough spots or flaking on your skin, try a product like Skin Script Hydrating Moisturizer.
Do have a nighttime skincare routine: Our body goes into repair mode while we sleep, fixing damage caused during the day. Using the Skin Script Retinaldehyde Serum with IconicAin the evening will brighten the skin, smooth fine lines, reverse photo-aging, and boost collagen production.
Do take vitamins just for your skin: Hush & Hush TimeCapsule is a 4-in-1 supplement to promote youthfulness from the inside out.
Do eat healthy: The statement we are what we eat is definitely true regarding the health of our skin. (Click here for my favorite foods for great skin)
Do load up on antioxidant serums: My favorite serum is Skin Script Citrus-C Nourishing Cream it’s so creamy and hydrating – perfect for the fall weather transition.
Do show your skin some love with the love stone: Give yourself an instant lift by firming and contouring your face with a Gua Sha facial.
Do wear sunscreen even if it is cloudy.

Top 10 Don’ts Of Skincare

Don’t over-exfoliate: When it comes to exfoliating your skin, less is definitely more. Exfoliating twice a week is enough.
It’s tempting to pop a zit but don’t: It’s a temporary fix but not a great idea in the long run.
Don’t sacrifice your sleep: Not getting enough sleep leads to puffy eyes, dark circles under the eyes, wrinkles, inflammation, and more. And don’t forget your comfy Pj’s
Don’t believe everything you see on TikTok, Instagram, and your Google search. Some of the posts I see make me cringe.
Don’t forget your bedding: Use pillowcases made from natural fabrics, like cotton or silk (these breathe better than synthetics).
Don’t forget to layer your skincare in the correct order: As a general rule, apply the lightest formulas first so they can be absorbed easily without a barrier.
Don’t get fooled by over-the-counter skincare products: You will get better results, and the product will last longer because of the key active ingredients when using professional grade skincare products.
Don’t DIY skincare: Smashing grapes on your face isn’t the same as using grape seed extract. Professional skincare is built from quality ingredients, not the food from your fridge!
Don’t forget self care is a necessity, not selfish. Relax with some skincare, cozy lounge wear, and an aromatic candle .
Don’t sleep in your makeup — not only can it clog pores but also leads to premature aging.
