Autumn is wonderful. Pumpkins are everywhere, leaves are falling and there is a slight chill in the air that is so refreshing.

However, fall can have its downside. Especially in West Texas, fall is dry, dry, dry. With the lack of moisture in the air, it is time to transition your skin care regimen in order to maintain a healthy glow.

There comes a time in (almost) every woman’s life when she worries about the look of her  neck.

It’s so frustrating to see what constant exposure to the sun, harsh weather, chronic dehydration and environmental toxins can do to the once smooth, youthful-looking neck and décolleté.

Lately when you look in the mirror, you’re seeing more signs of aging skin. Fine lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles—you see it all. You’re noticing enlarged pores and acne scars that seem more visible. The overall texture of your skin is changing, too. It feels rough and bumpy where once it was soft and smooth.

Summertime gives us all an opportunity to wear shorts, sleeveless summer dresses, tank tops and flip flops. That means we’re also showing off a lot more skin, which is a good thing—if you’re utilizing sunscreen and following a skincare regimen that’s personalized for your skincare needs.

Most summertime skincare regimens are geared for ongoing preparation, prevention and protection measures by addressing your skin condition, whether it’s dehydrated, sensitized, acne prone, prone to blotchiness and discoloration, or aging.

Summer is all about the beach, time with friends and family, and safely soaking up the sun. Whether you’re enjoying the holidays from the safety of your backyard or the wide skies of a national park, you want to look your best. 

But while summer is great for enjoying the great outdoors, it’s not so nice on your skin. Heat, dry air, wind, and potent UV rays are a recipe for skin problems like dull, flaky, and damaged skin. 

You deserve to look stunning when summer ends, and these quick spa treatments can help. Below, we’ll share our favorite treatments for dewy, soft, flawless skin—even in the late August heat.

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and it is awesome. 

Skin is part of our integumentary system. Its membrane and three layers of tissue—the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis—act as an insulating shield that protects us from extreme temperatures, damaging sunlight, harmful chemicals, and infection. 

It’s waterproof, it is stretchable and it is capable of repairing itself. It even cushions us when we take a fall.
