Autumn is the season skin quietly struggles. The air gets drier, the heating goes on, and the products that felt perfect in July suddenly feel thin. A few small adjustments make all the difference.
1. Switch to a cream cleanser
Foaming cleansers strip oils your skin now needs to hold on to. A cream or balm cleanser removes makeup and sunscreen while leaving the barrier comfortable.
2. Layer hydration, don’t just add oil
Think of hydration as water and moisture as the seal. Apply a hydrating serum to damp skin, then follow with a richer moisturiser to lock it in.
3. Keep wearing SPF
UV levels drop, but they don’t disappear. A daily SPF 30 is still the single best thing you can do for long-term skin health.
4. Exfoliate less, but better
Once or twice a week is plenty. Gentle enzyme exfoliants are kinder than grains through the colder months.
5. Book a seasonal facial
A professional facial at the change of season resets your skin and gives you a routine tailored to the months ahead.
