National Self-Improvement Month Skincare Tips
September ushers in a new era, the Fall season, and says goodbye to an old one with the ending of Summer. With the start of a new season, September brings in cooler temperatures, a respite from the harsh summer weather, and a good time to start a new chapter in your self-care routine. September is National Self-Improvement month, an initiative aimed at setting goals for the future and a reminder to focus on health and well-being, self-care, and keeping yourself healthy and radiant.
With self-improvement top of mind, here are some of our favorite self-improvement skincare tips for September:
Start a skin care routine. Taking good care of your skin is an act of loving kindness to you amongst a stressful world. The summer can be hectic and create damage in your skin, stress and anxiety can cause breakouts and wreak havoc on your mental health. Having a regular and mindful skincare routine can help reduce stress, promote calm, and induce the relaxation response. Many of us say, “I’m too busy to pamper myself” but it’s important to remember that caring for your skin is an ultimate act of loving kindness and can promote health and longevity by significantly reducing stress.
Water is one of the building blocks of life. It’s a simple and oft-used suggestion, but drinking plenty of water boasts benefit after benefit, with evidence backed by science. During busy times, it’s easy to quickly grab a coffee or other caffeinated beverages for a quick burst of energy, but water is the stuff of life in the long-term. For September, challenge yourself to drink eight, 8 oz glasses of water per day. Not only can it help create a clearer, hydrated complexion, but it can help aid in digestion, lubricate joints, boost mood, and more.
Take a little jaunt outside. You know what’s great for mood, your body, and can help bring a little natural blush to your cheeks? A walk in the woods or around your neighborhood. With the Fall season fast approaching, the temperatures will lower making it the perfect time to take a stroll and enjoy the great outdoors. You’ll get cardiovascular exercise which can help oxygen circulate through your body and skin, and it will boost your mood, putting a smile on your face and reducing stress hormones which can negatively affect your skin.
Clear out the beauty clutter. One of our favorite self-improvement tips is to clear out and eliminate clutter from your makeup bag and beauty supply area. Many of us have tubes, bottles, and containers of old or out-of-date beauty supplies. Using outdated skincare products can cause pimples, breakouts or even skin reactions, so it’s best to get rid of them so they don’t get mixed up with your current favorites. Plus, clearing out the clutter will help simplify your beauty storage area which can promote a sense of order and calm.
Reinvigorate your skincare products. Just like the weather changes seasons, your skin can go through several micro-evolutions each year. Following the summer months where many people have been in the sun, saltwater, or pool water, sometimes a new skincare routine is in order. Having a professional skincare consultation or trying new products can help reinvigorate your skin and promote healing. Pigment Gel® Pro by PCA Skin helps reduce the effects of damage by creating a visibly dramatic reduction in the appearance of stubborn discoloration. Its industry-leading, hydroquinone-free formula is powered by the proprietary SynerPro Complex, which uses multiple modes of action to effectively target discoloration for all skin types and tones.
