HAND LOVE

Our hands don’t always receive enough TLC, especially after a long summer in the sun. Glossier’s hand cream is supercharged moisture in a palm-sized pod. It’s fast-absorbing, and the nutrient-rich moisturizer nourishes skin without a greasy feel. $18, glossier.com

Summer Repair

Transitioning our beauty routines from summer to fall — here’s what the experts have to say.

CHRISTINA CARLSSON

AMIKA’S LEAD PRO EDUCATOR “Summer is tough on hair — from sun exposure to extra ponytails and buns along with time in water and at the beach. Moving into fall weather calls for damage control: book a haircut, try a conditioning tonal glaze at the salon, and follow up with a treatment mask at home. My favorite hair reparative cocktail is mixing amika’s Soulfood Nourishing Mask (Sephora, $28) and Glass Action Universal Elixir (Sephora, $28) for added shine. For cool toned blondes, try the Bust Your Brass Intense Repair Mask (Sephora, $42) for added repair.” loveamika.com

TAMAR VEZIRIAN

FOUNDER OF GOTHAM GLOW “During the summer months transitioning into fall a lot of clients come in with tan lines. An airbrush tan is a perfect way to even out the skin. Prepping the skin before a spray tan is the most important step in making sure the tan looks even and lasts as long as possible. The best way in my opinion to exfoliate is to soak yourself in a tub or, if you have a shower, steam the body for about 10 minutes. I recommend not using a salt scrub as those products tend to have oils in them. It will create a barrier between your skin and the spray tan will not adhere properly.” gothamglow.com

SALLY HERSHBERGER

HAIRSTYLIST & SALON OWNER “It’s important to care for the hair after it has encountered summer stressors like the sun and harsh water as they can be damaging. You’ll want to detox the hair by using a cleansing shampoo to wash away impurities and any buildup. To add moisturize back into the hair, you’ll want to condition. I like to use my 24K Liquid Assets Daily Conditioning Remedy because it instantly softens, smooths, and refreshes dull, dry, damaged hair. Plus, you can use this daily. Heading into fall you may also want to consider getting a trim to keep the hair healthy and to get rid of any dead ends.” sallyhershberger.com

DR. MICHELE GREEN

COSMETIC DERMATOLOGIST “Skin tends to dry out during the fall as the heat and humidity of summer start to fade, meaning that it’s time to amp up the hydrating skincare. Switching over to a richer, creamier moisturizer can help combat dry skin that typically accompanies the colder weather. Humectant ingredients like hyaluronic acid will help promote moisture retention in the skin, boosting the health and strength of the skin’s natural protective barrier. Also, if you don’t have a humidifier, consider investing in one. Having a humidifier in your home can help add some moisture to the air that’s depleted as the seasons shift to cooler months. Boosting the hydration in the air can help prevent dry and irritated skin.”

DAVID LOPEZ

CELEBRITY STYLIST “Transitioning hair from the summer into the fall should be relatively straightforward. After the summer your hair will need a little bit of TLC from being exposed to the sun. Think about incorporating a hair mask into your weekly routine or replacing your conditioner with a hair mask. Also think about your heat styling tools. After this summer you might want to think about what temperature you’re using your tools at depending on whether you heat-styled often or left your hair in its natural state, which makes it a little bit healthier. Dialing into your temperature for your hair type—the T3 Heat ID tools are great for this!”

THE BEAUTY OF CONFIDENCE

CONFIDENCE BUILDER EXTRAORDINAIRE STEPHEN T. GREENBERG, M.D., F.A.C.S.

By linDa groVe

Fall is an exciting time because it brings a sense of new beginnings. Cooler weather and looking forward to holidays and winter getaways is the perfect time to think about how you can finally deliver on your commitment to doing something for yourself. From non-invasive medspa treatments to Rapid Recovery surgical solutions, Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg will help you begin the fall season in the best shape possible.

Sun and wind exposure does affect the skin. Now is the time to refresh and revitalize, and get your skin ready for the colder months ahead. A deep-cleansing HydraFacial is the perfect place to start, providing cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, and hydration. It removes surface damage such as dead skin cells and impurities, but it also replenishes the skin with antioxidants through Vortex-Fusion, resulting in fabulous, glowing, healthy skin.

Treating sun damage with IPL (intense pulsed light) reverses the signs of aging. IPL photo-rejuvenation penetrates the layers of the skin and stimulates the growth of new collagen, while eliminating excess pigment, redness, spider veins, fine lines, and enlarged pores. IPL can be used on the face, hands, chest, or arms, and promotes smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Dr. Greenberg’s cuttingedge technology Morpheus8 targets subdermal layers of tissue to stimulate the production of collagen and improve skin tone and texture. The device can expertly control depth of penetration to addresses a wide variety of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, sagging jowls, crepey skin, smoker’s lines, crow’s feet, and even scars and stretch marks. Morpheus8 is the ultimate antiaging treatment to restore, refresh, and revive skin on the face and body quickly without downtime. Cosmetic injectable treatments lift, restore, and contour the cheeks, jowls, lower face, lips, and eyes — many times with immediate results. Fat transfer to the face, including the lips, cheeks, jaw, and under-eye area results in a rejuvenated look and can even be used on the hands and buttocks.

Dr. Greenberg, a dual board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in providing the latest Rapid Recovery face and body surgical options. These include face lifts, mini-face lifts, eyelid lifts, neck lifts, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, breast lifts, breast reductions, tummy tucks, as well as liposuction. His surgical solutions have patients enjoying their new look faster than ever before.

Use this time to tune up and make a difference in how you feel about your appearance. Many times, a combination of procedures will produce the most natural and best result. With the summer season ending, this is the perfect time to have the cosmetic procedure you’ve always wanted and start on the path to a younger, more confident looking you. Schedule your complimentary consultation with Dr. Stephen T. Greenberg and get glowing today!
