Everyone’s favourite season is fast approaching and while it’s serving as an unwelcome reminder of just how fast this year is going, there’s some good news. It’s time for autumn skincare (cue applause), and no this isn’t a ploy to get you to spend more money on your face.
I’ve always swapped out my skincare whenever I sense that the temperature is about to decline. There’s nothing like a metaphorical slap in the face courtesy of a gust of wind, to remind me that my light moisturiser isn’t going to cut it.
It’s not just a personal preference either, as rethinking your skincare routine for autumn has some serious skin benefits. First of all, with the sun exposure, sweat, inflammation and dehydration from travelling we probably need a reset. A chance for our skin to recover from all kinds of summer fun and excess.
Then, there’s the seasonal shift as well. In the same way that our wardrobe needs to work with the change in climate and conditions, so does our skin. If you’re thinking about adding some new products into your autumn routine, keep scrolling for the ones to switch.
