Our Needs Change with the Seasons
We are definitely feeling the change in seasons here at Violet White Total Body Care! Did you know that your skin has different needs in different weather conditions? In some climates, like ours here is Virginia Beach, the weather changes drastically from season to season. You want to be prepared to handle the unique challenges each season brings to your skin! Even small seasonal changes to your skincare routine will keep your skin looking flawless all year round.
We know that when a chill starts to hit the air there are many things that start to shift in our lives. The medications we take, our lifestyle habits, stress, hormones, and climate are a few of many examples that can contribute to changes in your skin. Summer months demand more protection like SPF as we spend so much time in the elements like sun, wind, and even getting caught in the rain. It’s time to purge the excesses of summertime with thorough cleansing habits and regular exfoliation and also time to begin adding extra hydration in our routines! With each new season also comes new opportunities to switch up your makeup routine! And while you can wear any makeup style any time of the year, the fall tends to favor deeper tones and bolder looks as opposed to lighter glowy summer makeup looks.
Switching Up Your Skin Care
Fall is one of the prime times of year where the vast majority of people experience allergies with the changing season! Your allergies can wreak havoc on your skin, so try skincare that that will calm and soothe your skin if you are in freezing temperatures. The new season will bring dry air with the cooler weather. This shift in humidity means your custom skincare routine should be extra moisturizing during the fall. Our top tip for the colder season is to add extra hydration! Take a look at how your skin reacts to colder weather vs. warmer weather and vice versa. If you’re transitioning your skin care routine for fall and winter, you may want to look for face wash formulas in the form of cream instead of gel or foam because those contain more hydrating ingredients! In addition to using a heavier moisturizer, you’ll want to pay close attention to the ingredients in your other skin care products. Look for hydrating ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid and avoid ones with salicylic acid.
P.S. We’ve all been there! No matter how much moisturizer you apply, dry skin patches may find a way to creep up all fall and winter long. Luckily, there are ways to combat this fall skin care woe. Applying overnight moisture to your eyes and lips can make a huge difference!

Updating Your Makeup Routine
Fall is the perfect time to try something new! If you’ve had the same makeup routine for years, then it is definitely time to book a makeup consult to try new looks and master application techniques! Fall is about dimension, so warm eyeshadows, dark eyeliner. dark brows, and bold lipsticks will provide the perfect balanced look. Autumn eyes are easy to pull off, because there are color combinations that work for every eye and hair color. Neutral browns and peaches combined with pale gold highlights can be used to pull off an incredible eye shadow look that will always turn heads. For a bolder look, search out a velvety matte shadow in a deep burgundy to bring the perfect warmth to your makeup routine.
We have some bad news and some good news. Realistically, it can be pretty tricky to make sure your foundation works for your skin year-round. Because of summer tans and vitamin D shortages during the winter months, your true skin tone can jump around depending on the season. This means that the foundation shade and formula that works for you in February, likely won’t match in August. However, the good news is we have the perfect foundation fit for you no matter what time of year. You may want to trade out that light summer tinted moisturizer for something heavier – and we will have the perfect fit!
