I am very careful about taking care of my skin in the summer. That means whenever I go to the beach or lay out by the pool I put heavy sun screen all over my body and face and then when I go inside I wash my face with a cleanser to eliminate any extra oils from the sun block. I am aware however, some of you may not as be as dilligent as I am, and that is why YOU, yes YOU will benefit from these fabiulous facial products for Fall.
After the fun and sun of the summer season you might find that your skin is in serious need of a routine update. Follow these simple steps and reveal your freshest face for fall!

Step 4: Serum
“Almost anything applied on top of a peptide or alpha hydroxy acid serum will sink deeper into the skin, because peptides (and AHAs) can act as permeation enhancers. So if you want to boost the results of your skincare routine, cleanse, scrub, and apply serum before applying moisturizer on top. I won’t go a day without applying Make Yourself Youthful™ Rejuvenating Face Serum (which works wonders on the face, neck, elbows, and the backs of the hands),” says Marcia Kilgore, Founder of Soap & Glory.

Step 6: Eye Cream
“Puffiness is most often caused by lymphatic fluid pooling under your eye sockets while you sleep. If you suffer from this condition, wake up 15 minutes early, sit up a little, rest beanbags across your eyes (to move the fluid), and once you’re up, finish off the massage with eye serum,” says Marcia Kilgore, Founder of Soap & Glory.
