Change for the Better: Autumn Skincare
As the seasons change so should your skincare. Rethink your routine like you would your autumn wardrobe; layering those thicker, warmer layers. With the dip in humidity and the damaging effects of cold weather, moisture is key. Use your skincare to introduce oils and build your skin’s barrier for the coming months.
Cleanser:
Swap your current favourite for a gel or balm version.
In autumn, it’s important to wash your skin gently to prevent oil from being stripped. Cream, oil, and balm formulas will remove make-up, deeply cleanse and offer that moisture boost your face will need. We love the Q+A Grapefruit Cleansing Balm which has a blend of hydrating and brightening ingredients.

Moisturiser:
Choose a thicker consistency.
Your skin can benefit from a moisturiser with a thicker consistency in autumn. This seals in hydration and prevents dryness – think of it as the skincare equivalent of your winter coat.
This doesn’t have to mean greasy, find a formula that has rapid absorption and lightweight texture.
We love Aesop Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream which cools, tones, and balances the skin and contains a blend of purifying citrus-derived botanical oils.

Serum:
Use a skincare booster.
As the temperature dips, your skin will crave more richness and protection. Including a nourishing serum in your routine will give your skincare a much needed boost.
Find ones which include hydrating ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid. We love Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte's Magic Serum Crystal Elixir as it feels like a little touch of luxury which has positive results.

Mask:
Give your skin a nourishing treatment
Supplement your skincare routine with regular hydrating masks. Easy one-step masks will repair any damage made by the change of season, while giving you a plumped and glowing complexion.
We would advise having your own at-home treatment 1 to 2 times a week.
We love Seoulista Beauty Super Hydration instant Facial as it includes coconut, which smells delicious but is also rich in antioxidants, helping to protect and improve your skin.
