Embrace the Season: Hydrate, Restore, and Glow
How Your Skin Changes as Fall Begins—and How to Keep That Healthy Glow
As the crisp air of fall rolls in, our skin often feels the shift before we do. Cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels can leave skin feeling dry, tight, and dull. The transition from summer’s warmth to autumn’s chill is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine and give your skin the extra hydration and nourishment it needs.
Why Your Skin Feels Different in Fall
During summer, your skin naturally produces more oil and retains more moisture thanks to the humidity in the air. But as the weather cools, that moisture begins to evaporate faster, and indoor heating can dry out your skin even more. The result? Dehydration, flakiness, and a lack of that dewy, radiant look.
Hydration and Moisturizing: Your Fall Skin Essentials
Hydrating your skin from the inside out is key. Start by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and incorporating hydrating foods like cucumbers, oranges, and leafy greens into your diet. On the outside, choose a moisturizer that locks in hydration—look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and natural oils such as rose or jojoba. Applying moisturizer right after cleansing helps seal in water and keep your skin soft and smooth.
Healthy Habits for a Fall Glow
Exfoliate gently: Remove dry, dead skin cells once or twice a week to allow better absorption of your moisturizer.
Use a humidifier: Adding moisture to the air at home can help prevent your skin from drying out.
Protect your skin: Sunscreen isn’t just for summer—UV rays can still cause damage year-round.
Nourish from within: Eat a balanced diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants to support your skin’s barrier.
