6 Ways to Update your Skincare from Summer to Autumn
A cool change is coming - here are 6 ways to switch up your skincare routine for Autumn to avoid dry, tight, irritated skin and keep up that bouncy, summer glow!
1. Gel Creams to Richer, Moisture Creams
You may have found a lightweight moisturiser such as the Hydrating Gel Cream was just right for breezy, summer skin. But as the days get cooler you might need a little more “oomph”.
Most commonly seen in the autumn months, thanks to sudden temperature changes, is the impairment of the skin barrier which can manifest as symptoms of dryness, sensitivity and a lacklustre look. This is the time to become BFFs with emollient and occlusive ingredients to keep skin moist, hydrated and the skin barrier functioning effectively.
Skin Barrier Creams for Autumn / Winter
Switch to the Deep Hydration Cream, or the Rebalancing Day Cream both hydrating creams that moisturise for hours but without feeling heavy. Both these creams contain Niacinamide. Not only does niacinamide prevent excess oil, it minimises water loss (reducing dryness and irritation) - essential for keeping the skin barrier supported during the cooler months.

3. Weekly Mask & Exfoliation
An essential step in your skin care routine – whatever the season! Removing the outer dead skin cells ensures that all the nutrients from your natural skin care products absorb and penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin. If your skin’s feeling a bit lacklustre choose an exfoliant with brightening ingredients such as Vitamin C, peptides or tetrahydrocurcumin.
An Exfoliating Mask for Autumn / Winter
With just the right amount of exfoliation and no harsh abrasiveness, the Anti Ageing Enzyme Scrub Mask is a cream-based scrub that leaves skin smooth and baby soft, creating the perfect canvas for makeup. Your skin will feel nourished and hydrated thanks to a unique Hyaluronic Acid that stays on the skin by means of ionic bond to deliver hydration, even after washing off! All while smelling amazingly lush.

4. Re-introduce Retinol
People often avoid vitamin A / Retinol during the sunnier months and if this was you, now it is time to bring them back into the regular routine with open arms.
However, retinoids can be harsh when overused. If your skin is already dry, thanks to the cooler weather, using either could make parched skin worse. Prep skin prior to the re-introduction of retinoids, ensuring skin is well-hydrated before you begin. Start off slow and refer to our handy hints

5. Switch to Creamy Cleansers
If you’ve been using a gel or foaming cleanser this summer, switching to a creamy, moisturising face wash will still ensure you’re removing daily buildup but keeps skin soft and hydrated without disrupting the skin’s natural oil balance.
