Autumn Thoughts About Adjusting Your Skincare Routine..
As the leaves turn shades of amber and gold, and the air takes on a crisp, cool edge, it's time to consider making a few changes to your skincare routine. Fall is a season of transition, not just in the natural world but for your skin as well. Here’s why it’s essential to tweak your skincare regimen with the change of seasons and how you can do it effectively using our products:
1. Temperature Fluctuations Affect Your Skin
Autumn often brings dramatic shifts in temperature and humidity. During the day, you might enjoy mild, sunny weather, but the evenings can get chilly. These fluctuations can cause your skin to become dry and sensitive. The cooler air holds less moisture, which can lead to dehydration and exacerbate existing dryness. Adjusting your skincare routine to accommodate these changes can help keep your skin balanced and comfortable.
2. Switch to More Hydrating Products
In summer, lighter, oil-free moisturizers and gel-based formulas might be sufficient. However, as the weather turns colder, your skin may require more hydration and nourishment. Consider transitioning to richer, more emollient creams that can provide a barrier against the drying effects of the autumn air. Look for ingredients that help lock in moisture and strengthen your skin's natural barrier. Our Montagna collection was formulated with this in mind, using the fortifying power of hardy Dolomite alpine ingredients blended with a proprietary mineral complex. Your skin is pampered with a nourishing blend that shields against environmental stressors, leaving it deeply hydrated, radiantly supple and smooth.
3. Exfoliation Needs Change
Autumn is a great time to adjust your exfoliation routine. The summer sun can leave your skin with a buildup of dead cells, which can result in a dull complexion. Incorporate gentle exfoliants to slough off these dead cells and reveal a fresh layer of skin. However, be cautious not to over-exfoliate, as this can lead to irritation. Our bestselling Mineral Quartz Polish renew’s skin’s natural radiance with Quartz crystals combining with powerful altitude actives to leave skin smooth, glowing, and ready to face the elements.
4. Protect Against Environmental Damage
Autumn’s crisp air can sometimes be misleading, as it doesn’t mean you’re free from environmental damage. UV rays can still be potent, even on overcast days. Don’t skip sunscreen, as UV protection is essential year-round. Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF to shield your skin from both UVA and UVB rays and help prevent premature aging and pigmentation issues. Our day creams all include SPF20 to make it a little easier on those cold Autumn mornings.
5. Don’t Forget About Your Hands
As you adjust your facial skincare routine, remember to care for other often-overlooked areas like your hands. They are equally susceptible to the drying effects of autumn weather. Use a hand cream regularly to keep these areas moisturized and protected.
The Nourishing Hand Cream is a hydrating hero! Softening and strengthening, our rich organic blend of oils, pumpkin enzymes and radish, returns radiance to dry and aging hands while life-giving vine sap reduces wrinkles and fine lines.
Our Final Thoughts
Transitioning your skincare routine for autumn is not just about responding to the changing weather but also about proactively maintaining the health and appearance of your skin. By updating your regimen to include richer moisturizers, adjusting exfoliation practices, and incorporating seasonal ingredients, you can ensure that your skin remains radiant and resilient as the seasons shift. So, as you cozy up in your autumn sweaters and enjoy the fall foliage, take a moment to give your skincare routine a seasonal refresh. Your skin will thank you for it!
