Skincare Tips: From Summer to Fall

If your skin needs a little TLC after excessive sun exposure, now’s the time to prep your skin as we transition to fall. We have found a must-have brand whose products are purely natural and their mission is to provide you with effective, but yet gentle enough that its skincare products are suitable for all skin types. We also love that Limoux’s skincare products are free of harmful chemicals, vegan and cruelty-free, and made with natural ingredients from local and organic suppliers. In addition to the comprehensive guide below to prep your skin for the fall, you can also try five COCOTIQUE-approved product recommendations in our NEW Skincare Limited Edition Box from Limoux Cosmetics. 

  1. Transition to a Richer Moisturizer:
  • Switch from lighter lotions to gel creams: Fall's cooler, drier air means your skin needs more hydration and protection. Look for creams with emollients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, and fatty acids to lock in moisture.
  • Consider a facial oil: For very dry skin, add a facial oil to your routine for an extra layer of nourishment.
  1. Exfoliate Regularly:
  • Remove dead skin cells to boost cell turnover: Fall is the perfect time to gently exfoliate to reveal smoother, brighter skin. Choose a physical exfoliant (scrub) or a chemical exfoliant (containing AHAs like glycolic acid or BHAs like salicylic acid).
  • Adjust frequency based on skin type: Oily/acne-prone skin can exfoliate more often, while sensitive skin should exfoliate less frequently.

  1. Layer Your Skincare:
  • Build a strong foundation: Start with a gentle cleanser, followed by a toner (if you use one), serum, and moisturizer.
  • Don't forget sunscreen: Even though the sun is less intense, it's still important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
  1. Focus on Hydration:
  • Hydrated skin is healthy skin: Fall's lower humidity can lead to dryness. Drink plenty of water, eat hydrating foods, use a humidifier, and layer hydrating products for plump, dewy skin.

By incorporating these skincare products and practices into your fall skincare routine, you can help your skin stay hydrated, healthy, and glowing.
