fall into a new skincare routine: transitioning your skin for cooler weather

As the leaves change color and the air begins to crisp, it’s time to give your skincare routine a refresh. Just like your wardrobe, your skin needs to adapt to the changing seasons. Let's dive into how to transition your skincare from summer to fall and keep your complexion glowing.

Why Your Skin Needs a Fall Refresh

Summer skin is all about sun protection and lightweight hydration. But as the temperatures drop and humidity levels decrease, your skin's needs shift. The cooler, drier air can lead to dryness, flakiness, and even sensitivity. By making a few adjustments to your routine, you can help your skin thrive during the autumn months.

Transitioning Your Skincare Routine

1. Gentle Cleansing: Swap out your foaming or gel cleanser for a creamier formula. Our reset cleansing oil or hydrating milk & honey cleanser are perfect for this transition as it gently removes impurities without stripping your skin's natural oils.

2. Hydration is Key: As the air gets drier, your skin craves moisture. Incorporate a hydrating serum like our hyaluronic acid serum into your routine. This powerhouse ingredient draws in moisture and plumps up your skin. Follow up with a rich moisturizer like our ocean moisturizer to lock in hydration.

3. Exfoliate Wisely: Continue exfoliating to remove dead skin cells, but switch to a gentler exfoliant like our refresh exfoliating cleanser. This unique formula combines cleansing and exfoliation, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and refreshed.

4. Boost Your Moisture Barrier: As the weather gets colder, your skin's barrier may become compromised. Strengthen it with a facial oil like our botanical liquid gold serum. Rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it helps restore balance and protect your skin from environmental stressors.

5. Prioritize SPF Year-Round: Don't let the cooler temperatures fool you. UV rays penetrate clouds and can still damage your skin, even in winter. Opt for a mineral hydrating SPF50 to protect against premature aging, dark spots, and skin cancer while providing essential moisture.

Tips for a Successful Transition

• Listen to Your Skin: Pay attention to how your skin feels. If it's excessively dry, increase the frequency of your moisturizing applications.
• Layer Your Products: Build a protective barrier by layering your skincare products. Start with a hydrating serum, followed by a moisturizer and a facial oil.
• Humidifiers: Invest in a humidifier to add moisture to the air, especially in your bedroom.
• Gentle Cleansers: Avoid harsh cleansers that can strip your skin of its natural oils.
• Sunscreen is Still Essential: Even though the sun's rays are less intense, it's important to continue wearing sunscreen daily.
