Prep Your Skin for Cooler Weather: At-Home Tips from Bayview Med Spa

As autumn arrives in North Richland Hills and the breeze grows cooler, it’s time to adjust your skincare routine. The drop in humidity, gusty winds, and indoor heating can all challenge your complexion—especially if you want to maintain that luminous, healthy summer glow. At Bayview Med Spa, our nurse practitioner Farah Knotts, with over 17 years of international experience, has helped countless locals transition their skin through seasonal changes smoothly and beautifully. Here are our best expert-backed skin tips for cooler weather, crafted especially for our clients and neighbors in the North Richland Hills and greater Tarrant County area.

Hydrate Your Skin—Inside and Out

In fall, your skin’s natural barrier is more susceptible to dryness and irritation. To combat this, boost both internal and external hydration:

- Opt for a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser instead of harsh soaps to avoid stripping your skin of essential oils.

- Use a thicker moisturizer, ideally with ceramides or hyaluronic acid, to lock in hydration. Consider layering a hydrating serum underneath for extra nourishment.

- Drink plenty of water. Cooler weather can make us forget to stay hydrated, but your skin needs that moisture now more than ever.

For those seeking professional help, Bayview Med Spa offers Hydrating Facials and advanced treatments like Microneedling with PRP or Biologic Fillers (PRF Gel), all designed to deeply nourish and restore skin health.

Exfoliate Gently and Consistently

Dead skin cells can quickly build up as temperatures drop, leaving you with a lackluster appearance. However, over-exfoliating can lead to redness and sensitivity.

- Use a mild exfoliant 1-2 times a week—look for products with gentle AHAs like lactic or mandelic acid.

- Avoid scrubbing or abrasive products that may compromise your protective barrier.

- For optimal results, schedule a professional VI Peel or Chemical Peel at Bayview Med Spa, customized to target dullness, dark spots, and texture irregularities brought on by sun exposure.

Protect Your Skin—SPF is Still Essential

Even as days get shorter, the Texas sun can be surprisingly intense. UVA rays that cause aging and pigmentation are present year-round.

- Continue applying broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning, even when it’s cloudy.

- Apply sunscreen to often overlooked areas, such as the neck, chest, and hands.

- Ask about LED Light Therapy at Bayview Med Spa for overall skin rejuvenation and added protection against free radical damage.

Manage Seasonal Redness and Sensitivity

Cooler temperatures can exacerbate redness, eczema, and rosacea.

- Choose barrier-strengthening skincare ingredients such as niacinamide, panthenol, or squalane.

- Avoid long, hot showers and harsh exfoliants.

- Consider in-office treatments like Neuromodulators (Botox and Dysport), which can relax facial muscles and minimize redness caused by stress and environmental changes.

Don’t Forget Your Lips and Hands

Chapped lips and dry hands are common complaints in North Richland Hills during the cooler months.

- Apply a thick, nourishing balm containing shea butter or beeswax to lips throughout the day.

- Use hand creams enriched with glycerin or natural oils, especially after washing.

- Ask about our custom treatments for delicate areas—our Dermal Fillers can rejuvenate thinning skin on the backs of hands for a more youthful appearance.
