A new season brings many changes, but the biggest shift we experience is often the change in weather. With summer comes humidity and moisture, but as temperatures drop in the cooler fall months, lower humidity means drier air and less moisture. Our skin feels the impact of these environmental shifts, and with that, our skincare needs may change. Here’s how to seamlessly transition your summer skincare routine and tailor it to your skin’s needs for fall!
Reevaluate
Take a moment to reassess your skin’s current needs and concerns. In skincare, less is often more-we love a routine that’s simple yet effective. Think: cleanse, serum, hydrate, SPF, and you’re done! As cooler weather approaches and your skin starts to feel drier, it’s time to consider products that prioritize hydration and target dry or dehydrated skin.
Cleanse
Start with a deep cleansing oil that removes excess oil, makeup, and buildup. Try DHC’s Deep Cleansing Oil, which effectively targets dry and dehydrated skin while removing pore-clogging impurities.
Serum
Find a serum that works for your specific skin concerns-whether it’s acne, anti-aging, fine lines, dullness, dehydration, or discoloration. A great option is SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Vitamin C Serum. It provides environmental protection while brightening and firming the skin, making it suitable for a variety of skin types, especially those concerned with aging, dryness, and hyperpigmentation.
Hydrate
During the cooler months, there’s less moisture in the air, which can lead to drier skin. Look for a moisturizer that goes the extra mile to keep your skin hydrated all day. The First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer is a great everyday option. Lightweight yet effective, it combats dryness, fine lines, and redness, while ingredients like shea butter help maintain the skin’s barrier.
SPF is a MUST
No matter the temperature or weather-sunny, cloudy, rainy, or snowy-never leave the house without SPF. Sun protection is crucial to preventing premature aging, sunburn, skin discoloration, and even skin cancer. A lightweight, non-greasy option like EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is perfect for daily use. It’s non-comedogenic and ideal for those with acne, aging concerns, dryness, and large pores.
As the weather changes, so should your skincare routine. Just as we swap out our wardrobe, adapt our activities, and embrace seasonal foods, it’s important to update and reevaluate our skincare regimen to meet new needs. Don’t hesitate to switch things up! Address your skin’s current needs, and you’ll be ready to enjoy the new season with glowing, healthy skin!
