Wow! Who turned off summer?
But in all seriousness as the seasons change so do our habits and our skin, so this is your reminder to have a good look and feel of your skin, notice what your products feel like and check they've not gone passed their best
We are all guilty of opening things then just not using them, but most products once opened have a shelf life of between 6 and 12 months because of their active ingredients. If you've got products that have been open longer, then they will not be doing everything they claim to do.
🍂 How Skin Changes in Autumn ✨
💚 Lower Humidity: Cooler air holds less moisture, leading to drier air. This pulls water from the skin, making it feel tight or rough.
💪🏻 Weaker Skin Barrier: Dry air weakens the skin’s protective barrier, making it more prone to irritation, redness, and flakiness.
☹️ Increased Sensitivity: Wind and temperature fluctuations can aggravate sensitive skin, sometimes leading to itchiness or flare-ups of conditions like eczema.
🩶 Dull Appearance: With less hydration, skin may lose its natural glow and appear more tired or lacklustre.
💧 How to Replenish Moisture
🤎 Switch to Richer Moisturizers: Light summer lotions may not be enough—creamier, occlusive products help lock in hydration.
🧴Use Hydrating Ingredients: Look for formulas with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and natural oils to attract and seal in moisture.
🤍 Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh cleansers that strip natural oils. Opt for cream or oil-based cleansers instead.
🥵 Humidify the Air: A humidifier indoors helps counterbalance dry heating systems.
💧Stay Hydrated: Drinking water still plays a role, even if you don’t feel as thirsty in cooler weather.
🍃Protect Against Wind: A scarf or protective balm can shield skin from biting winds.
🍁 Think of your skin in autumn like the leaves on the trees—it needs extra nourishment and care to stay resilient as the environment dries out.
