Essential Fall Skincare Switch-Ups for Healthy, Glowing Skin

Essential Fall Skincare Switch-Ups for Healthy, Glowing Skin
We all love the gorgeous color changes of the foliage in the Fall, but if you’re not careful you
skin can dry out like the leaves (but it's not nearly as pretty.) The transition from the warm,
humid air of summer to the cool, dry atmosphere of fall can impact your skin in several ways.
But fear not! We are here to help you navigate this seasonal shift! Here are some essential
changes to make in your skincare routine to keep your complexion healthy, hydrated and
radiant this Fall!
1. Switch to a Hydrating Cleanser
Why It Matters: In the fall, your skin becomes drier due as the environmental humidity drops.
Switching to a hydrating cleanser can help retain moisture without stripping the skin of its
natural oils needed to help maintain a healthy skin barrier.
Tip: Look for cleansers that contain hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or
ceramides. Creamy or oil-based cleansers are excellent options for this time of year.

2. Incorporate a Richer Moisturizer
Why It Matters: Your summer lightweight moisturizer might not cut it as temperatures drop. A
richer, more emollient moisturizer can provide the hydration your skin craves.
Tip: Choose a moisturizer with ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, or squalane to lock in
moisture and create a barrier against environmental stressors. Consult your aesthetic provider if
you are acne prone or have problematic skin to ensure that you get a product unique to your
needs!

3. Add a Humidifier to Your Routine
Why It Matters: Indoor heating can further dry out the air and your skin. A humidifier adds
moisture back into the environment, helping to maintain skin hydration.
Tip: Place a humidifier in your bedroom to create a soothing atmosphere while you sleep,
allowing your skin to recover overnight. You can add in essential oils to create a luxurious sleep
experience!

4. Adjust Your Exfoliation Routine
Why It Matters: While exfoliating is essential for removing dead skin cells, over-exfoliation can
lead to irritation, especially in the cooler months when skin cell turnover starts to slow down and
an intact skin barrier is essential.
Tip: Consider reducing the frequency of exfoliation and/or switching to more gentle exfoliants,
such as chemical exfoliants with AHAs or BHAs, rather than physical scrubs.

Pads, Revision Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
5. Embrace Antioxidants
Why It Matters: Fall often brings more environmental pollutants, and incorporating antioxidants
into your routine can help combat oxidative stress. Antioxidants help to stop free radicals from
damaging collagen structures and increasing inflammation in the skin, leading to issue in
complexion, pigmentation, texture and premature aging.
Tip: Look for serums or moisturizers containing vitamin C, vitamin E, or ferulic acid. These
powerful ingredients can help protect your skin and brighten your complexion. Consult with your
provider to ensure the products are right for your skin before starting!

6. Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Why It Matters: Even though the sun and heat feels less intense, UV rays can still damage
your skin even on the cloudiest days! Even indoors if working in front of a computer screen the
blue light put off can also cause photo damage to unprotected skin! Applying sunscreen should
always be a part of your morning skin routine!
Tip: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 45 daily, even on cloudy days.
Consider a moisturizing or anti-aging sunscreen for added hydration. Ensure that if you have
issues with pigmentation that you are opting for a physical sunscreen as opposed to chemical or
combination sunscreens! High quality tinted sunscreens can even double as your make up!

Elta UV Daily and UV Clear
7. Prioritize Anti-aging Lip Care
Why It Matters: Chapped lips are a common issue in the fall with increasingly dry air and
central heating, so it’s important to keep your lips hydrated to prevent damage to the delicate

tissues! Lip care with peptides and antioxidants can also help improve pigmentation, decrease
fine lines and wrinkles, and plump the lips!
Tip: Invest in a good lip balm that contains nourishing ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, or
coconut oil. Apply it regularly, especially before heading outdoors for fun fall activities! Ensure
you are using an occlusive hydrating lip product before bed to seal in moisture and prevent
dehydration over night!
