Autumn Skin Reset: How to Change Your Skincare Routine as the Seasons Change
As summer fades and the temperature begins to drop, your skin can start behaving differently too.
Cooler air, central heating and changes in humidity can leave skin feeling drier, tighter or simply less balanced than it did during summer. September is therefore a great time to look at your skincare ritual and make a few simple adjustments.
You do not necessarily need an entirely new routine. Often, it is about giving your skin a little more support.
Start with gentle cleansing
Cleansing should leave your skin feeling fresh and comfortable, not stripped.
As we move into autumn, this can be a good time to introduce a richer cleanser such as our Japanese Pear Cleansing Balm or Pro Collagen Cream Cleanser.
A balm or cream cleanser can help remove daily impurities while maintaining that comfortable, conditioned feeling we want from autumn skin.
Bring hydration back into focus
Hyaluronic Acid is one of our favourite ingredients when skin is crying out for hydration.
Our Hyaluronic Acid 5% + Vitamin E 3% Serum is designed to become an easy step between cleansing and moisturising.
You can also explore our 24k Gold Hyaluronic Serum when you want hydration to feel like a little more of a ritual.
Do not abandon SPF
It may no longer feel like summer, but daily sun protection should not disappear with the sunshine.
Our Invisible SPF 50 Face Cream provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection with a lightweight, invisible finish.
It also contains Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, making it easy to incorporate into your morning skincare ritual.
Introduce richer moisturising
If your lightweight summer moisturiser no longer feels quite enough, listen to your skin.
Autumn can be the perfect time to move towards a richer moisturiser during the evening while maintaining something lighter during the day.
Make skincare a ritual
Seasonal skincare does not have to become complicated.
Cleanse.
Hydrate.
Moisturise.
Protect.
Then add masks, facial oils and treatment products depending on what your skin needs.
At The Alchemy of Skincare, we believe skincare should combine effective formulations with the pleasure of taking a few minutes for yourself.
