Transitioning Your Skincare from Summer to Fall

Hey gorgeous!

As we wave goodbye to summer and start to embrace fall, it's time for a little skincare refresh. Cooler, drier weather means your routine might need a bit of tweaking. Here’s how to make the switch effortlessly and keep your skin glowing through the season! 🍁

1. Adjust Your Moisturizer 💧

Summer’s lightweight lotions have been great, but as temperatures drop, your skin might need a richer formula. Think about switching to something more hydrating, like our Ocean Caviar Face Cream. It’s deeply nourishing without feeling greasy, perfect for combating that fall dryness. Your skin will feel so much happier!

2. Tweak Your Exfoliation Routine 🧖‍♀️

You might have been exfoliating more frequently during the summer to deal with sweat and sunscreen buildup. As the weather cools down, it’s a good idea to scale back a bit. For specifics on how to adjust your exfoliation routine for fall, check out my other blog here.

3. Use Lip Balm 💋

Fall’s dry air can lead to chapped lips. To keep them soft and smooth, use a nourishing lip balm regularly. Look for one with hydrating ingredients like shea butter or beeswax. Apply it often, especially before bed, to keep your lips kissably soft throughout the day and night.

4. Don’t Forget Sunscreen 🌞

Yes, even in fall, sunscreen is a must! The sun’s rays can still cause damage even if it doesn’t feel as intense. Keep applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day to protect your skin. If you want extra hydration, look for a sunscreen that doubles as a moisturizer.

5. Hydrate Your Body 🌟

Don’t forget about the rest of your skin! Our Fresh Collagen Body Milk is fantastic for keeping your skin soft and hydrated as the weather gets cooler.

6. Combat Redness and Sensitivity 🍂

Fall can bring out redness and sensitivity in some skin types. To soothe your skin, look for products with calming ingredients like chamomile or calendula. If your skin gets irritated, consider adding a gentle, anti-redness serum to your routine. It’s all about giving your skin some extra love and care during these transitional months.

7. Embrace Seasonal Ingredients 🍁

Fall is a great time to incorporate seasonal ingredients into your skincare. Look for products with nourishing pumpkin or apple extracts, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. These ingredients can help refresh and rejuvenate your skin as it adjusts to the cooler weather.

8. Keep Showers Warm, Not Hot 🚿

I know, as the weather cools, we all start to crave those indulgent, toasty showers—I’m guilty of it too! But hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils. Opt for warm water instead to prevent dryness and irritation. Your skin will appreciate the extra care!

9. Listen to Your Skin 👂

As the seasons change, your skin’s needs can shift. I’ve found that being attentive to how my skin feels is key. If it starts to feel tighter, drier, or more sensitive, that’s a sign it might need a bit more moisture or a product adjustment. Make sure to check in with your skin regularly and adjust your routine as needed to keep it comfortable and healthy.
