How beautiful is Autumn? The transitional season between the extremes of summer and winter that is filled with the golden shimmer of falling leaves representing change, transformation, and reflection. It’s not so hot anymore or even freezing cold, it’s somewhere in between. So, it makes sense that you wouldn’t be too concerned with dramatic skin changes at this time of year, right? Well, the reality is that indeed your skin does bring on a new set of challenges to our skin and the key word here is change.
WHY DO YOU NEED TO ADAPT YOUR SKINCARE ROUNTINE IN AUTUMN?
As we go through seasonal transition, our environment is rapidly changing and therefore so are the needs of our skin – the organ that directly interacts with our surrounding conditions.
Coming out of summer, the skin has weathered the harsh effects of solar radiation from the sun. In autumn, it is a time to repair sustained sun damage from the hotter months. Additionally, we need to adapt to the emergence of cooler winds where the air is a much dryer, sucking the moisture out of our skin. The result? Increased dryness, dehydration, flakiness and skin irritation like redness and heightened sensitivity.
WHAT DOES YOU SKIN NEED IN AUTUMN?
In autumn, our skin essentially needs:
- Repair from summer induced skin damage: hyperpigmentation, rough textured and wrinkles.
- Enhanced exfoliation: in summer our skin often gets clogged from increased sweating and as the cooler months set in, the natural process of skin shedding tends to become a little slower – so you need to speed up the process of cellular turnover and renewal through regular exfoliation.
- An increase of antioxidants, moisture, and comfort: to combat the assaults of the cooler, dryer months.
TOP TIPS TO ADJUST YOUR SKINCARE REGIME IN AUTUMN FOR HEALTHY GLOWING SKIN:
-
Swap to a gentle cleansing cream to nourish and protect the skin’s delicate PH and natural oil balance.
-
Add a Vitamin C treatment to your regime to neutralise the effects of frequent sun exposure in summer.
-
Incorporate a hydrating antioxidant serum that binds moisture to the skin to prevent dehydration in the dryer months where the skin’s moisture levels are depleting.
-
Exfoliate regularly to increase cellular turnover and reduce autumn skin dullness.
-
Use a richer moisturiser that that seals in extra moisture and protects the skin from harsher environmental elements.
-
Integrate a specifically designed repairing night cream into your PM routine that releases cell renewing ingredients for more balanced, comforted and renewed looking skin.
-
Remember it’s still important to use an SPF moisturiser or specific product containing UV broad spectrum protection as UV radiation doesn’t disappear in autumn!
-
Don’t skip on the body lotion as you want to keep your body soft, comfortable, and hydrated.
-
Slather on the lip balm during the day to protect your lips from stronger winds and dryer air that cause dryness, cracking, and flakiness.

As a final tip, it’s important to pay attention to the changes your skin is particularly undergoing. As the seasons change, our skin responds in all sorts of different ways. Be sure to look at how your skin feels and whether it is feeling tighter and dryer than usual, how it looks in terms of radiance and colour, and whether or not you are experiencing increased sensitivity in the cooler months. Once we adapt to and give our skin what needs and wants, the skin will respond well!
Lastly, keep your skincare as natural as possible as such formulas are gentler on the skin and avoid potential chemical irritants. Natural and organic ingredients are also generally more biocompatible and responsive to fluctuating skin conditions that can occur in seasonal transitions.
