The end of summer and the arrival of fall prompt transitions of all kinds. As you reach for a sweatshirt and hot coffee, you know it’s the right time to make some seasonal changes in your skincare routine as well. Just like the change in seasons, your skin needs to change too.
So how do you change your skincare routine for fall? Here are a few suggestions and product recommendations from Leslie Guiot, Skincare Specialist at our Oasis Spa.
REPAIRING SUMMER SKIN
After a summer of sunshine, heat, and humidity, it’s time to deep cleanse the pores of SPF and perspiration. Customized facials will help as well as brighten and even pigmentation that has darkened from all that extra sunshine. Exfoliation at home that’s specific to your skin type can also improve these issues. A series of non-invasive peels or microdermabrasion services can quickly get your skin glowing for the fall.

In the hustle and bustle of life, as we know it, it is easy to let exercise slip down on our list of priorities.

Knowing that someone is counting on you to show up is great motivation. Here is a list of reasons to have a workout buddy, and what to look for in someone to share your health and wellness goals!

One of the biggest barriers to improving health and fitness is a lack of motivation. Most people just sit around waiting for motivation to strike like lightning. In some rare cases this might happen, but most of the time we will be left waiting and wondering when we will get our lives together. Often motivation only comes from seeing results. Once we see results, we are then enticed to continue the actions that got those results in the first place. So how do we see results in the first place? One option would be to hire a Personal Trainer.

It can be very frustrating to show up to the gym day after day, week after week, and still not see the results you would like on the scale. Sometimes it's enough to make you want to quit your exercise routine, altogether. While that might be the most appealing thing to do in that instance, what if you chose to look at exercise for its many other benefits other than just weight loss? Exercise has been linked to many, many positive outcomes that have nothing to do with losing weight. Improvement in areas related to depression, relationship issues, improving medical issues, bettering sleep, and prolonging a person’s ability to be independent are just a few of the lengthy list of the benefits of exercise.

No more black pants!! As a person who has always enjoyed fashion, working out, and like many others…had body insecurities. I always found it so interesting that the fashion industry tried to make us all feel as if we were not our best… unless we had on all black. We didn’t look our thinnest… unless we had on all black. We did not look our tallest, sleekest, most sophisticated, or even professional…unless we had on all black. On New Year’s 2014 I decided to step out of the “black pants” world and live life in color. I made it my New Year’s Resolution that year to not buy another pair of black workout pants. I decided to step outside of my “black pants” brainwashing and program myself to love my body in every color of the rainbow.
