Adapt your skincare routine to the fall weather
With the arrival of fall, changes in the weather can have a significant impact on our skin.
Cooler temperatures, dry air, and reduced humidity can leave your skin dehydrated, sensitive, and prone to irritation. Adapting your skincare routine is essential to keep your skin healthy and radiant during this season.
Here are some key tips to meet your skin’s needs in the fall.
Reading time: 3 minutes
1) Switch to a gentler cleanser
During the summer, you may have used a stronger cleanser to combat excess oil and sweat. However, in the fall, the drier air can strip your skin of its natural moisture, so it’s important to use a gentle cleanser that won’t remove essential oils.
2) Moisturize more and better
The fall weather requires more intense hydration. Opt for richer moisturizers that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. These components help retain moisture in the skin, preventing dryness and flaking. Our recommendations are My Nourished Skin (formerly Elisa Cream) and My Radiant Skin (formerly María Cream).
3) Introduce facial oils
Facial oils can be a great ally in the fall, as they provide an additional layer of protection against moisture loss. Look for lightweight oils like jojoba or rosehip, which won’t clog your pores and will offer deep nourishment.
At SALUD, we’ve formulated My Natural Glow (formerly Mai Oil), a natural blend that can hydrate your skin, hair, and scalp without leaving any greasy residue. The all-natural oils extracted from safflower, hemp, and Kukui nut will be fully absorbed into your hair, preventing breakage and providing lubrication, while your skin hydrates and receives anti-aging properties.
Continued use can also help alleviate symptoms of psoriasis, eczema, dandruff, and brittle hair loss!
4) Exfoliate in moderation
While exfoliation is important for removing dead skin cells, you should do it in moderation during the fall to avoid irritation. Choose gentle exfoliants and limit their use to once or twice a week.
5) Don’t forget sunscreen
Even though the days are shorter and sunlight is less intense, UV rays are still present. Continue using sunscreen daily to protect your skin from sun damage and premature aging.
6) Add an antioxidant serum
An antioxidant serum, such as one with vitamin C, can help protect your skin from environmental damage common in the fall, such as pollution and sudden temperature changes. Additionally, these serums can brighten your skin and improve its texture.
7) Hydrate your lips and hands
Don’t forget to pay attention to areas that tend to dry out more in the fall, like your lips and hands. Use nourishing lip balms and apply hand creams frequently to keep these areas soft and protected.
8) Adjust your diet
In addition to topical care, your diet also plays a crucial role in your skin’s health. Increase your intake of foods rich in omega-3, antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and E, which will help keep your skin hydrated and elastic from the inside out.
9) Humidify the environment
Dry indoor air can be harmful to your skin. Consider using a humidifier in your home to maintain proper humidity levels and prevent your skin from drying out.
10) Listen to your skin
Finally, remember that every skin is different. Listen to the signals your skin gives you and adjust your routine as needed. If you notice dryness, irritation, or any other issues, don’t hesitate to change your products or consult a dermatologist.
Adapting your skincare routine to the fall is key to keeping your skin healthy and radiant. By following these tips, you can enjoy beautiful skin all season long. Your skin will thank you!
