In the summer months, I love using tinted sunscreen, but come fall, I switch back to transparent formulas. Why? Mostly because I ditch my sheer skin tints and foundations for heavier, more traditional formulas, and I don’t need the extra coverage. This is one of my favorites. It never pills or leaves a white cast, and it sits well under makeup. I couldn’t ask for more.

I know I should be double-cleansing all year round, but after long summer days full of brunches, beaches, and bonfires, honestly, I get lazy. However, when fall hits and I’m back to wearing fuller-coverage foundations and concealers, double-cleansing is a must to ensure my skin is *actually* clean. I’ll be using this iconic cleansing balm. It firms the skin, coats it in comforting moisture, and dissolves the day’s sunscreen and makeup like a charm.

In the summer, I prefer lightweight, gel-based moisturizers, but in the fall, I want—nay, need—a richer, more moisturizing type. They keep dryness at bay, reduce redness, and keep my skin looking firm and plump. That’s why I’m stocking up on this skin-soothing cream. I use it as both a standard moisturizer and an overnight mask when my skin is feeling particularly needy.

This professional-grade cream will help prevent and reverse that. It smoothes, firms, and lifts with powerful active ingredients like peptides, green microalgae, lemon balm, and shitake mushroom extracts.

I know I’ve talked a lot about thicker, heavier, and more moisturizing formulas thus far, but here’s the thing. In the fall, my skin is prone to breakouts. I don’t know if I can blame it on the dry air, lifestyle change, or any other external factor, but the reality is that I get more breakouts in the fall than in any other season. To prevent that, I’m stocking up on this TikTok-viral liquid exfoliant. It’s chock-full of salicylic acid to whisk gunk out of pores and prevent full-fledged blemishes.

I can’t wait to coat my skin with this every night when the colder weather hits.
