As the crisp autumn air rolls in, it’s time to rethink your skincare routine and prep your skin for the changing season.
With cooler temperatures, your skin is more likely to feel dry, tight, or irritated, and your sun-kissed summer glow might need some extra help to stay radiant. The solution? Updating your skincare routine to combat the drying effects of fall, lock in moisture, and maintain that healthy glow.
Here’s a deep dive into how you can transition your skincare for fall in 5 easy steps:
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
As the air gets cooler and drier, you need to give your skin extra hydration to prevent that tight, flaky feeling. A heavier moisturizer can work wonders during autumn. Switch out your lightweight summer lotion for a richer cream that can trap in moisture and create a protective barrier. Look for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and squalane.
2. Incorporate Gentle Exfoliation
While summer might be all about oil control and clarifying, fall is the time to focus on removing dead skin cells while being gentle. Exfoliating a couple of times a week will help with cell turnover and allow your skin to better absorb moisturizing products. However, be careful not to overdo it—stick with mild exfoliants like lactic acid or an enzyme-based exfoliator that won’t irritate your skin as it adjusts to the cooler climate. You can find the one I use on Amazon here.
3. Don’t Ditch the SPF!
Just because the sun isn’t blazing down as it did in July doesn’t mean you can retire your sunscreen. Harmful UV rays can still damage your skin in the fall, even on overcast days. Continue using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, and you’ll thank yourself come winter!
4. Opt for a Nourishing Cleanser
As temperatures drop, so does your skin’s tolerance for harsh cleansers. Now’s the perfect time to swap your foaming or gel-based cleansers for something creamier. Hydrating and oil-based cleansers will help maintain your skin’s natural oils and keep it from feeling parched post-wash.
5. Add a Fall-Appropriate Serum
Fall is also the time to add a serum that provides extra nourishment. If you haven’t tried incorporating Vitamin C into your skincare routine, fall is the perfect time to start! It brightens dull skin and helps with sun damage that might still linger from the summer. And don’t forget to incorporate hydrating serums like hyaluronic acid for that plump, dewy glow all season long.
Keep Glowing This Fall
Updating your skincare routine with these autumn-appropriate swaps ensures your skin stays radiant and hydrated even as the air cools down. It’s all about giving your skin what it needs and being gentle as it adapts to the seasonal changes.
