Cozy Up to Healthy Skin: Fall Skincare Tips from Our Med Spa

As the leaves change and the crisp autumn air sets in, our skin’s appearance can take a hit. Dryness, dullness, and irritation can become major concerns, but don’t worry! SKIN MD Michigan is here to share our top fall skincare tips to keep your complexion radiant and healthy all season long.


1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

Fall's dry air and wind can strip your skin of its natural moisture, leading to tightness, redness, flakiness, and irritation. Combat this by:

  1. Switching to a rich, hydrating moisturizer with powerhouse ingredients like hyaluronic acid
  2. Applying your moisturizer immediately after bathing or showering while your skin is still damp to lock in extra moisture
  3. We know it’s tempting, but avoid showering or bathing in water that’s too hot!
  4. Exfoliating 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells


2. Protect Your Skin from Wind and Cold

Harsh winds and chilly temps can cause:

  1. Redness and irritation
  2. Dryness and chapping
  3. Premature aging

Fight back with:

  1. A gentle, nourishing cleanser and moisturizer
  2. A soothing, hydrating mask 1-2 times a week
  3. A broad-spectrum sunscreen (yes, still necessary in fall!)

3. Address Summer Damage

Summer's sun, fun, and heat can leave behind:

  1. Hyperpigmentation
  2. Fine lines and wrinkles
  3. Acne scars

These can be improved several ways, including:

  1. Chemical peels or laser treatments to address your specific skin concerns
  2. A consistent skincare routine to maintain results


4. Exfoliate Effectively

Exfoliation is key in the fall, but be gentle! Over-exfoliating, especially with physical exfoliants, can lead to irritation and dryness. Try:

  1. Chemical exfoliants containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) for more gentle and controlled exfoliation
  2. Physical exfoliants like gentle scrubs (none of that apricot business!) or brushes


5. Hydrate Your Skin from the Inside Out

Your skin is actually your largest organ, so it’s important to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and plump. Aim for at least 8 cups (64 oz) daily!


Bonus Tip: Schedule a Fall Skincare Consultation

Hair loss is something most of us will experience at some point in life. While it’s often associated with aging, the truth is, hair thinning and shedding can start earlier than expected — and for a variety of reasons. Understanding why hair loss happens is the first step toward finding the right solution. At SkinMD, we’re here to explain the science behind it and how a hair transplant can help you restore not just your hair, but your confidence. The Science Behind Hair Loss Your hair grows in cycles: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transition phase), and telogen (resting/shedding phase). Normally, most of your hair is in the growth phase, but certain factors can disrupt this balance, causing more hairs to enter the shedding phase. The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia — better known as male or female pattern baldness. This is driven by genetics and hormones, specifically dihydrotestosterone (DHT) , a byproduct of testosterone that can shrink hair follicles over time. As the follicles shrink, the hair becomes thinner, shorter, and eventually stops growing altogether. Other factors that can accelerate or trigger hair loss include: Hormonal changes from pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid imbalances Nutritional deficiencies such as low iron, protein, or vitamin D Stress — both physical (illness, surgery) and emotional Medical conditions like autoimmune disorders or scalp infections While some of these causes are temporary and reversible, genetic hair loss tends to be progressive without treatment.
