A change in season calls also calls for a change in your daily skincare routine. Moving into autumn you’ll want to tweak your regimen slightly, focusing on hydration and nourishing as we venture through the colder months. In our latest blog post, we present the ultimate autumn skincare guide with step-by-step instructions to get healthy, glowing skin this season.
Your complete autumn skincare routine
Moving into autumn means saying goodbye to the summer sun for a while and a drop in temperatures. While you might have favoured purifying cleanses during the warmer months, be conscious of locking in moisture and not stripping your skin this season. Colder days tend to lead to dehydration, so opt for gentle gel, milk or balm cleansers over the next few months.
Our Glycolic Facial Cleanser is a hydrating gel consistency that comes with a gentle hit of exfoliation to gently remove dead skills and reveal glowing skin. During the winter, our skin tends to look a little dull and lacklustre, so this gentle glycolic product is the perfect addition to your daily routine.
2. Hydrating serum
Prep your skin for a cold winter with daily hydrating serums and oils. Serums are a great way to pack a punch of hydration as they are made using highly concentrated ingredients to give great results.
Our Facial Hydrator Serum contains Hemp Seed Oil (one of the most powerfully hydrating antioxidants on the market) with a blend of other nourishing natural oils. This innovative serum/oil hybrid is perfect for daily use this autumn, leaving thirsty skin hydrated without that uncomfortable oily feeling. The fatty acids found within our serum also help to strengthen the skin barrier just in time for the changes in temperature this season.
Alongside hydrating serums, you might also want to use products with Vitamin C to help with brightening throughout the dreary autumn months - luckily our Facial Hydrator Serum has a healthy dose of this as well!
3. Nourishing moisturiser
After applying a layer of your hydrating serum, you’ll want to lock everything in with a nourishing moisturiser. During summer you might have swapped in a lightweight moisturiser to your routine, but now is the time to crack out those thicker creams again. Our Nourishing Day Cream will keep autumn skin happy and hydrated.
Looking for the perfect night cream? Look no further. The Alivio Hydrating Night Cream nourishes and repairs tired skin with an innovative formula of powerful natural actives. This combination of creams will strengthen your skin barrier, repair free radical damage and brighten the skin tone. What more could you ask for this autumn?
4. SPF
SPF is not just for summer, make sure to slather on a healthy dose of sunscreen throughout autumn and winter. This is vital in both protecting your skin and allowing your favourite skincare products to work their magic most effectively.
A few more autumn skincare tips
- Clay masks are a great way to target a range of your skin concerns this autumn. Make sure to choose a mask that’s both purifying AND nourishing to avoid drying out your skin. Our Spa Clay Mask combines the best of both worlds, made using Bentonite and Kaolin clays for a deep cleanse and rich oils to soften and hydrate. Experiencing some puffiness on those darker autumn mornings?
- Don’t go too crazy with the actives. Our skin can become a lot more sensitive during autumn, and layering lots of harsh active ingredients will only make it more unhappy. Overusing actives can lead to a weakened skin barrier, breakouts and irritation. Use gentle actives at a frequency that your skin responds well to.
- Stock up on soothing products to calm irritated skin. You might find that the colder months lead to flare-ups of conditions like dermatitis or eczema. Make sure you have some soothing and calming products at your disposal to apply when irritation strikes. The good news is that our entire skincare range is designed to calm and soothe unhappy skin.
