Without a doubt, autumn is my favorite season. Football is back, the morning air is cool and crisp, and there is beauty in nature as the leaves are changing. Just like we swap out our wardrobes with the changing seasons, our skincare rituals change during the autumn months too. At least they should be!
The warm days of summer are giving way to the cool, crispness of autumn. As nature shifts with the seasons, so does our skin. The transition from the sun-soaked days of summer to the cooler, drier weather of autumn calls for skincare rituals that address the changing needs of our skin.
Autumn Skincare Radiance
With humidity levels dropping, our skin starts to lose some of its natural moisture… those of us with maturing skin can hardly afford for that to happen! In addition, the transition to autumn can also slow down how our cells rejuvenate. Again…hard pass! We need all the help we can get, and don’t need nature, or the changing seasons working against us even more!
It is so important to switch up our skincare rituals with the seasons. As the needs of our skin change so should our products. Say goodbye to the lightweight products you used during the warm summer months. It’s time to shift to richer serums and moisturizers to shield your skin from the cooler, drier autumn weather.
In this guide you’ll discover rituals to nourish your skin throughout the autumn months.
Now that we’ve talked about why the seasonal changes call for switching up your skincare ritual, let’s dive into what that change looks like. Your skin will thank you!
Morning Ritual
- Cleanse with a gentle cleanser (Check out my post on my favorite cleansers)
