How to Transition Your Skincare Routine for Fall
Feel that crisp, cool morning air? Fall is finally here!
Your coffee routine, sweater choice, and home decor are not the only things that need to change with the season. With every seasonal change, you should slightly alter your skincare routine to ensure your skin stays hydrated, glowing, and youthful all year round.
Find out how you should transition your skincare routine for fall and the easy changes you can make today to help your skin for the cooler months.
Small Weather Changes Impact Your Skin
While it might not feel like it, even the smallest weather changes can dramatically alter skin behavior.
As the air gets drier and temperatures get cooler in the fall months, our skin requires special care to maintain its hydration and moisture.
Many people report drier, more flaky skin during this time of year, which can contribute to acne and breakouts.
Deeper Skin Nourishment
Starting around mid-September, outdoor air begins to lose moisture, and with indoor heating, the air can feel dry.
During this time, it's important to provide your skin with the proper hydration it needs to continue functioning properly. Dry skin can prematurely age the skin, leading to increased wrinkles and fine lines.
These effects are especially concerning during the fall and winter months. So it's important to double down on moisturizing.
It’s not enough to simply hydrate the skin; you have to think more in terms of nourishment. For this, you need thoughtfully selected ingredients expertly transformed into deeply nourishing formulas.
During this time of the year, our customers love our Anti-Aging Day Cream. This incredible product harnesses the deeply nourishing compounds of Goji Berry Extract, Macadamia, Jojoba, and Rosehip Oil, as well as Shea Butter. These certified organic ingredients deeply nourish and moisturize the skin for lasting hydration.
Vitamin C has to become a daily part of your routine if it's not already.
Our #1 Best-Selling Vitamin C Serum is a must during this time of year.
Finally, you should pay special attention to your under-eye area because this is where premature signs of aging begin. The skin around your eyes is thinner and requires more direct care throughout the year, so it's even more important to give it the proper care it deserves.
Our recommendation: combine our Anti-Aging Eye Cream with our Rejuvenating Eye Serum. Try this combination once and see the results for yourself!
Softer Cleansing and Gentler Exfoliation
In general, we don’t recommend oil-based cleansers, as these can leave that “greasy” feeling on the skin but especially during cooler months, when the skin is more sensitive, we suggest avoiding oily cleansers and transitioning to creamy cleansers and makeup removers.
Oily cleansers can sometimes be too harsh on the skin, stripping away the natural moisture barrier. Our creamy Everyday Cleanser and Makeup Remover is an incredible formula that will remove makeup in just 20 seconds without the need for cotton pads or that greasy feeling.
This amazing formula uses Aloe and Olive Oil to not only gently clean the skin but also retain the skin’s natural moisture.
You can still double cleanse during this time of year with a gentle formula like our Foaming Cleanser.
Be careful when it comes to scrubs and exfoliators. Many synthetic-based scrubs exfoliate through chemical processes that are harsh on the skin and can lead to redness and irritation.
We suggest our Gentle Exfoliating Scrub that physically, not chemically, exfoliates the skin thanks to its unique formula. Once or twice a week exfoliation should be good during the cooler months.
Balms Are Your Best Friend
While balms may feel heavy during the summer, they are your best friend, especially at night during the cooler months.
Our Certified Organic Nourishing Body Butter is a phenomenal full-body balm that deeply nourishes the skin for extended hydration and a silky soft feeling.
We especially suggest our Body Butter to pregnant mothers who want to avoid developing new stretch marks.
For face care, try our Anti-Aging Night Balm with Sea Buckthorn and Algae Oil for an advanced formula that will transform your skin and deeply nourish it all night.
Non-Skincare Recommendations
Taking the time to care for your skin every morning and before you go to bed is a self-care must!
But there are things you can do throughout the day to help your skin throughout the cold autumn months.
Firstly is hydration, of course! You should aim to drink more water throughout the day than you normally would.
Eat plenty of Omega-3s from healthy fats like salmon and walnuts.
Add a humidifier in the home if you can, and wear non-irritating clothing.
These small and simple changes will help keep your skin soft, calm, and glowing throughout the cool autumn months!
