5 Top Skincare Tips for Autumn

autumn skincare tips

After what feels like months of sweating and sitting in the sun, it’s time to think about how you’re going to look after your skin as the colder weather approaches. The skin needs to recover from sun exposure and prepare for the colder months ahead, when biting winds and central heating can really dry it out.

It’s a good idea to make a few tweaks to your skincare routine to keep your skin happy and healthy through the autumn and beyond. Here are our 5 top skincare tips for autumn.

Exfoliate

This helps remove the build-up of dead skin cells that come from the after affects of the summer and the cooler temperatures. Exfoliating at least twice per week will make your skin look radiant and glowing instead of dull and dehydrated. You’ll find that it will help prepare your skin for your other products too. Consider microdermabrasion for a deep exfoliation.

Consider changing your cleanser

In summer, a foaming or gel cleanser might feel better on the skin for washing away sweat, oil, and grime, but in the colder months, if your skin tends to get dry, you should switch to a cream or lotion-based cleanser. These are gentler on the skin and also help lock in moisture.

Think about using a serum

Serums are made up of smaller molecules than moisturisers so they can get deeper into the skin than moisturisers. Add a serum into your autumn skincare routine to nourish and hydrate the skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and Retinol.

Use a richer moisturiser

In the summer, a lighter moisturiser will do, but to combat dryness caused by harsh weather and central heating, you’ll need a richer moisturiser.

Don’t forget the hand cream

Wear gloves whenever you’re outside in the cold, and always use a rich hand cream to avoid your hands getting sore and chapped.

Remember you still need to wear sunscreen

Yes, even when it’s colder, the sun’s rays can be quite strong and they can still cause skin damage, so make sure you wear sunscreen all year round.
