As the air gets cooler and the leaves begin to change, your skincare routine should also shift to accommodate the drier, cooler weather of fall. The drop in temperature and humidity can lead to dry, flaky skin and dullness, so it’s crucial to nourish and protect your skin during this seasonal transition. Here are some fall skincare recommendations to help you maintain a radiant, healthy complexion all autumn long.
1. Try Oil Cleansing
During fall, it’s time to swap out your lightweight summer cleanser for something more hydrating. A gentle, creamy cleanser or oil cleanser will cleanse your skin without stripping it of essential moisture. An oil to milk cleanser, is an oil that emulsifies once it has made contact with water. So in addition to the added moisture the oils provide, this is also a great way to turn your regular shower routine into something more luxurious! Look for cleansers that contain soothing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or oils like jojoba or avocado to maintain a healthy skin barrier.

2. Incorporate a Rich Moisturizer
Fall weather can leave your skin feeling tight and dry, so a heavier moisturizer is a must. Whipped body butters are great alternative to lotions and contain natural butters and oils that work well at sealing moisture into the skin. Layering your skincare products will also help trap moisture, so consider using a hydrating serum underneath your moisturizer for added hydration.
Pro Tip: Opt for natural moisturizers that also provide an antioxidant boost to protect against environmental stressors, like vitamin C or Vit E.

4. Add a Nourishing Face & Body Oil
Adding a body oil to your skincare routine can be a game-changer during the fall. Natural oils help replenish your skin’s moisture levels and restore balance, especially if your skin becomes dry or flaky. Look for oils like rosehip, almond, or grapeseed that provide essential fatty acids and vitamins to keep your skin soft and glowing.
Pro Tip: Apply face oil as the last step in your nighttime routine or mix a few drops with your moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration.
5. Use a Gentle Exfoliant
Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells and revealing fresh, glowing skin. However, fall is a time to be gentle with exfoliation to avoid over-stripping your skin. Choose a mild exfoliant, such as a lactic acid-based product or an enzyme exfoliant, to help smooth and brighten your complexion without causing irritation.
Pro Tip: Exfoliate 1-2 times a week to keep your skin radiant and help your moisturizers and serums absorb more effectively.
Conclusion
Your skin needs a little extra love during the fall to stay balanced, hydrated, and glowing. By swapping out your lightweight summer products for more nourishing and hydrating options, you can help your skin transition smoothly through the cooler months. Focus on moisturizing, protecting, and pampering your skin, and you’ll be sure to enjoy a radiant complexion all season long.
