As summer ends and fall begins, prepare for a new round of potential triggers. We may be leaving behind long days of bright sunlight and high heat, but autumn presents its own challenges. Avoid being tricked by fall weather and enjoy the many treats the season offers with these suggestions.

Dress in layers so you can stay a step ahead of fall’s changeable weather. Wear clothing you can easily add and remove as things heat up or cool down. Accompany a base layer of a t-shirt and pants or leggings with a light sweater, hoodie or zip-up fleece. Beat brisk fall winds by adding a scarf or high-collared coat to your ensemble.

Speaking of covering up, don’t put away the sunscreen yet. Even when things get chilly, the sun’s UV rays can still damage your skin. Apply a 30 SPF sunscreen before heading out for a day of apple-picking, hay rides and long hikes to see all that gorgeous fall foliage. Side note: when the temperature dips it’s tempting to warm up with a hot cider, cocoa, or spiced beverage, but let it cool down a bit to avoid a heat-induced flush. To help, here's a classic blog filled with more tips on avoiding ingredient- and heat-based triggers in autumn drinks!

Finally, seasons change, but your treatment regimen should stay the same. Stay on top of your meds and bring them along on extended fall trips. Follow your skincare routine before and after going out as well, and brush up on rosacea skin care and cosmetics use.

Stay safe and enjoy autumn!
