Our Fall Transition Tips

As we bid farewell to summer days and welcome the crisp breeze of September, it's time to reevaluate the state of your skin. Humidity can be deceiving, giving your skin a hydrated appearance with a hint of sun-kissed color, but trouble can lurk beneath the surface. 

 

Don't fret, though; we've recapped our latest SKNKRE episode where we help you cover all the essential skincare tips and recommendations as we transition towards the fall.

  

REVISE YOUR CLEANSER

 

As humidity levels drop in the fall, your skin might start feeling tight and parched when you cleanse. To prevent this sensation, we recommend opting for a creamy cleanser that gently removes impurities while maintaining your skin's moisture balance. AKA, your lightweight summer gel cleanser should be replaced by something of the like:

BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE LAIT VIP O2

 

YONKA PARIS CLEANSING MILK

 

Pro tip: This is also a great time to incorporate a hydrating toner, such as the Environ Botanical Infused Moisturising Toner, into your routine. Toners will enhance product penetration and help rebalance your skin's pH, leaving it refreshed and prepped for the next steps (like makeup!).

  

SERUMS FOR TARGETED CARE

 

Depending on your specific skin concerns, you should be incorporating the appropriate serums into your routine. 

 

If hyperpigmentation is a concern (and it often can be after the summertime), opt for a Vitamin C serum to combat uneven skin tone. If dehydration is present, we love recommending the Skinceuticals H.A. Intensifier. And serums that include ingredients like salicylic acid, found in products like the Skinceuticals Silymarin CF and the IMAGE Skin Care Clear Clarifying Lotion can help combat breakouts.

AMP UP THE MOISTURE

 

Fall is the ideal time to protect and repair your skin from the wear and tear of summer before the winter arrives––compromising your skin barrier even more. Proper hydration not only enhances your glow, but also diminishes the appearance of fine wrinkles. Hence, it’s so important to invest in a high-quality moisturizer––like the forever-versatile Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore––that suits your skin type and concerns. We also love:

CARE FOR THE EYES

 

Last but not least, when it comes to hydration, it’s important not to forget beneath your eyes; this area is usually the first to reveal signs of aging and dehydration. Choose an eye treatment tailored to your skin type, and remember to apply it beneath your eyes and on the brow bone only—avoid using it directly on the eyelids.

YES TO SPF

 

Professional SPFs are designed for year-round use and come in various formulations to cater to your specific needs. Depending on your skin concerns and condition, you can choose between a more hydrating option, a tinted option, a non-tinted option, an oil-free option, and more. 

 

There’s no excuse not to keep protecting your skin from the sun’s constant damage!

 

PAMPER YOURSELF!

 

No matter the season–but especially in the cozy months–you can always treat your skin to some TLC with face masks. 

 

Because there are so many great choices out there, you can always choose a mask that aligns with your skin's current needs. Whether it's gentle exfoliation or an extra dose of moisture, these masks can help maintain your skin's vitality throughout the changing seasons.
