How to Deal With 6 of the Worst Fall Skin Care Problems

All that UV exposure from your time spent at the beach accumulates on your face, causing sun damage. You may even notice dark spots or uneven skin tone now that it's fall. "Summer can take a toll on the skin—even though it’s good for the soul," says Mona Gohara, MD, Dove dermatologist. "I tell my patients to use an antioxidant serum to battle the free radicals in the skin you picked up from those beach days." Gohara is a big fan of vitamin C, as this ingredient helps with discoloration and evening out your complexion. Try Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum, $80, which features an antioxidant complex of L-ascorbic vitamin C, ferulic acid and vitamin E.

And don't think you can get away with skipping sunscreen this season. Ann Balaguera, national director of esthetics for Red Door Spa, recommends sticking to your sun protection routine throughout the fall. "Just because summer is over doesn’t mean that the damaging rays of the sun are gone," says Balaguera. "Sunscreen is the number one anti-aging product that you can use. It helps to prevent future damage such as hyperpigmentation and fine lines." She advises using an SPF of at least 30 and likes Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Moisture Cream Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30, $129, because it has antioxidants, which protect against free radicals that can damage skin and cause aging.
