Fall Skincare Essentials: Transition Your Routine for Cooler Weather
Keep your skin glowing with healthy (and affordable) skin tips for anti-aging!
Sending you a big Hello and Happy Fall!
Talking skin is one of my favorite topics. As the weather cools down, your skincare routine needs a little extra love. Cooler air and indoor heating can dry you out, but today I am sharing a few simple changes to keep your skin hydrated and glowing all season long.
Here are some of my expert tips to help you transition into your fall skincare routine—these easy tweaks will keep your skin protected all season. It’s also important for me to share that quality, CLEAN skincare doesn’t need to be expensive and today I am outlining some amazing, affordable, effective options.
How Fall Weather Affects Your Skincare
Cooler temperatures and drier air can strip away your skin’s natural oils, leaving it dryer, and perhaps feeling flaky, or even sensitive. And with lower humidity, your skin is more prone to developing fine lines, irritation, and redness.
Understanding these seasonal changes is the first step to adjusting your skincare routine. In fact, fall is the perfect time to step back and figure out what your skin really needs. It’s all about strengthening your skin barrier and giving it that extra nourishment—not just to protect it from the cold, but to help it adjust and stay healthy all season long.
Here are my specific skin tips geared toward healthy, youthful skin throughout the season:
# 1. Switch to a Purifying Cleanser - Fall is the perfect time to switch cleansers. This charcoal solid face wash gently draws out impurities and dissolves deep-down dirt, helping keep breakouts at bay. Meanwhile, antioxidant-rich Alpine Caribou Moss™ boosts elasticity and guards against environmental stressors like pollution. It’s only 17.00 with my discount (glowwell15), and get it for free until Sunday (with a qualifying purchase, scroll down to read)! Oh and it’s super fun to use the stick formula!
# 2. Use a Richer Moisturizer for Deep Hydration. As the air gets drier, your skin needs some extra love. Switch to a thicker moisturizer that locks in hydration and protects against cooler weather. This face and eye cream is an ultra-hydrating formula that provides 24-hour hydration. It also visibly plumps and smoothes fine lines and wrinkles over time. I love that it’s an eye and face cream in one! It’s 18.70 with my discount code (glowwell15).
#3. Add Hydrating Serums for a Luxurious Layer. Fall is the perfect time to introduce hydrating serums into your skincare routine. The overnight serum is a great choice. It's designed to hydrate, rejuvenate, and soothe the skin, making it ideal for the cooler months. It gives your skin a serious dose of hydration while calming any dryness or irritation.
#4 Exfoliate - Gently and Thoughtfully. Exfoliation is still important in the fall, but you’ve got to be gentler about it. Cooler weather can make your skin more sensitive, so opt for mild exfoliants like a daily peel pad. This peel pad is gentle enough to use everyday. It’s called the anti-everything pad, and that’s accurate. They reduce the buildup that can cause breakouts, and ingrown hairs and help minimize the appearance of pores. Using these exfoliating pads over time can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation by removing the layer of skin that makes it appear dull. Only 15.30 with my discount code (glowwell15).
# 5. Get your daily sun - but don't Skip the SPF Going in the sun is vital for optimal health. It allows your body to manufacture its essential vitamin D within the skin - a vitamin that is actually a hormone, and that most people are deficient in. Sunscreen is a must, no matter the season. Even though fall brings fewer sunny days, harmful UV rays can still cause skin damage like premature aging, dark spots, and fine lines - which all accelerated by sun exposure. Choose a lightweight sunscreen that also hydrates.
I love the O+A Anti-Aging Face Moisturizer - a moisturizer and sunscreen in one - my choice for every day. It is light and non-greasy. It includes hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that can hold 1000 times its weight in water. Pulling moisture from the environment and deeper layers of the skin helps plump and moisturize skin. It also includes additional ingredients to prevent signs of aging. $18.70 with my discount code (glowwell15).
#6 - Don't forget the lips & hands! We all know how dry our lips and hands can get when a cold snap hits. Stay on top of your hydration by keeping your bag + even your car stocked with hydrating lip balm and hand cream. This balm comes as a duo, perfect for stashing everywhere you need it. I love that it leaves you moisturized but also minty fresh!
Skincare doesn't stop at the face! The skin on our hands is just as important so give them the TLC they deserve by keeping them hydrated! I keep hand cream in my bag, on my desk, and in the car so we're never without. This one is only 10.20 with my discount code (glowwell15). Stash it everywhere! AND get it for free until Sunday (with a qualifying purchase, scroll down to read)!
And that’s it! Transitioning your skincare for fall can be easy—just give your skin a little extra love as the weather shifts. With the right tweaks you’ll stay hydrated and glowing all season long.
