When it’s summer, we can’t help but feel icky and desperately look for anything labeled “oil-free”. Humidity and high temperatures increase oil production, which leads to the use of mattifying foundations, gel-based moisturizers, and waterproof eye makeup. 

Typically, dehydrated skin suffers from dullness and water loss, while dry skin suffers from flakiness and lack of oil. During the summer, your skin loves hyaluronic acid, a water-binding ingredient. During the fall, your skin loves moisture-retaining ingredients such as Ceramides, Oils, Shea Butter, and Squalane.

Our Nourishing Moisturizer protects and restores the skin’s moisture barrier with superfood ingredients, perfect for the fall.

Although you may be already using our Makeup Melting Balm Cleanser as the first step of your skincare routine, it’s time to switch out any exfoliating, or gel cleansers to prevent any stripping of the skin, (unless you’re extremely oily, then this won’t apply to you).

To prevent a feeling of tightness, we recommend trying our Hydrating Cream Cleanser, which also melts makeup and is high in vitamin A, E, & C. Since we tend to see the sun a lot less, it’s crucial to start incorporating more Vitamin C both topically and orally (Vitamin C also strengthens the efficacy of SPF)!

Changing habits are not the easiest, but it’s easier to strip the skin when it’s already dehydrated due to the arid climate. Instead of using a scrub, we recommend using our AHA/BHA Gel Cleanser 2 times a week, followed by our Retinol Resurfacing Night Cream.

Our retinol is catered to all skin types because it’s packed with moisturizing ingredients such as Centella Asiatica, Squalane, and Lecithin. 

Applying retinol after exfoliating will also target those stubborn summer-induced sunspots and any clogged pores more efficiently. Changing up your summer skincare to fall will also show you more noticeable results, as your skin may get acclimated to the same year-round routine.

Like always, water is your best friend and the key to a healthy mind and body. Properly hydrating will help lock any moisturizers on your skin, especially butters and oils.

Even if there’s an overcast, or it’s snowing you should always apply SPF. UV rays penetrate glass and clouds like nobody’s business! If you’re exfoliating, you also want to make sure that beautiful canvas is insured. Think of SPF as your wrinkle insurance agent!
