As the seasons change, your wardrobe is not the only thing that deserves an update. The lightweight products that kept your complexion comfortable through heat and humidity may no longer provide enough support once cooler temperatures, lower humidity and indoor heating enter the picture.

Summer may leave behind a beautiful collection of memories, but it can also leave its mark on your skin. By early fall, many people notice that their complexion suddenly looks more discolored, uneven, dry or textured than it did just a few months earlier. Sun spots appear darker. Fine lines seem more noticeable. Skin that once looked bright may appear dull, blotchy or less smooth.

Sun damage has a way of appearing gradually — and then seemingly all at once. Brown spots, uneven tone, rough texture, and fine lines may become more noticeable long after the beach days, outdoor workouts, and everyday exposure that caused them.

Sunscreen is one of the most important parts of any skincare routine, but choosing the right one can feel surprisingly complicated. Mineral or chemical? Tinted or untinted? Is one safer? Is one better for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

At NicholsMD of Greenwich, aesthetic care has never been about changing the way someone looks. It is about preserving what patients love, strengthening what time naturally takes away and helping the skin function at its best. Central to Dr. Nichols’ approach is one of her favorite terms: collagen banking.

The newest approach to anti-aging is not about chasing every line or adding more volume. It is about improving the health, strength and overall quality of the skin.
