Change your skin care routine in the fall

Any change in weather such as season, temperature, humidity in the air affects the skin.

From summer to fall, the weather changes dramatically and what you need to do is help your skin adapt to the external influences. Listen to the subtle changes of your skin and help your skin avoid dryness and acne during the beautiful moments of fall.

1. Change your cleanser

During the summer months, gel and foaming cleansers are great cleansers, but they can dry out your skin when the temperature drops (making your skin produce less oil). Switch to a sulfate-free, non-drying gel cleanser in the morning, and use a moisturizing cream cleanser at night. The gel cleanser will help deep clean your pores, while the cream will remove any makeup residue left behind in your pores.

2. Add toner

Toners are often overlooked in your daily skincare routine. If you’re not already using one, now is a good time to start. A little alcohol-free toner is the perfect way to give your skin the moisture it needs in the fall. Follow up with a moisturizer or serum while your skin is still damp so the active ingredients can penetrate deeper.

3. Change your moisturizer

Light moisturizers are fine for most skin types in the summer, but as the weather cools down, you’ll need to choose a heavier moisturizer to prevent moisture loss. If you’re using a gel moisturizer, consider switching to an oil-free lotion.

4. Continue using sunscreen

We often assume that when the outside temperature is cool, the sun's rays are less likely to damage our skin. However, what few people know is that during both fall and spring, a large amount of harmful UV rays are still produced.

While the UVB rays that cause sunburn are not as strong in the fall, the UVA rays that cause skin cancer and premature wrinkles are more active. In general, sun protection is a year-round priority, so you should still apply sunscreen to your face, neck and chest when you go outside.

5. Boost retinol

Adding retinol products to your fall skincare routine will help your skin regain its glow. Serums containing retinol have been shown to significantly reduce the appearance of sun-damaged brown spots and wrinkles.

6. Improve skin by exfoliating

Skin darkens due to many factors such as temperature, pool water and sunlight. Exfoliation will remove dead skin cells, promote the formation of new cells and the skin will become smooth and bright. Exfoliation also helps reduce acne because it removes the oil trapped by old cells.

7. Change your facial mask

Gel masks are great for hydrating the skin, and are especially beneficial for oily skin because they hydrate the skin without stimulating sebum production. However, if you feel your skin is dry, you should switch to a cream mask. The oil in the cream has a deep moisturizing effect that helps improve dry skin.
