Personalized Skincare for Fall

New season, new routines. This is a good time to start transitioning, not only your wardrobe, but your skincare products and regimen.

After traveling for two weeks with a demanding itinerary and then coming home to cooler weather has pretty much shocked my system and skin. A few days before flying back home, I retook my Skinsei lifestyle diagnostic to update my skin situation which includes new exposure to the elements, lifestyle and diet changes, and stress levels.

To introduce Skinsei, it’s a new service and product range that allows you to create a personalized skincare regimen based on an initial diagnostic you take. The questions focus on a variety of lifestyle factors that will influence the health of your current skin — including age, environment, diet, mental state, and lifestyle. At the end, you take a selfie, for further skin texture analysis. I really love how comprehensive this works to find the correct product for my skin needs. It also takes the guesswork out of a routine creation. After taking the diagnostic, you will be provided a 3 or 5 piece product regimen created just for your lifestyle and skin needs.

For my current situation — a mix of dehydration, stress and cooler temperatures, I received a 5-piece hydrating skincare set. The products all have really cute and witty names, as well! It starts with a cleansing balm (Total Meltdown), an essence (Thirsty Face), followed by a hydrating serum (Dew Your Thing), moisturizer cream (Yas Cream) and a clay mask (Mad Deep). All the products have a really nice light scent. My favorite is the Thirsty Face essence. You can really feel the burst of moisture in the texture and application alone.
