As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, our skin feels the shift, too. Cooler temperatures, drier air, and time spent indoors can leave your complexion feeling tight, dull, or simply “off.”
But seasonal change doesn’t have to mean stressed skin. With a few intentional adjustments, you can support your skin through fall and head into winter glowing and resilient.
Here’s how to care for your skin this season:
1. Switch to Gentle Exfoliation
During the summer, your skin may have built up layers of sunscreen, sweat, and outdoor exposure. Fall is the perfect time to gently buff away buildup, but the key word is gentle. Look for exfoliants that use soft, rounded beads or enzymatic ingredients rather than harsh scrubs. This keeps skin smooth without stripping away the natural oils that are essential for barrier health.
✨ Grace | Rae pick: Renew Exfoliant with jojoba esters and botanical extracts for a soft, spa-like reset.
2. Double Up on Hydration
As humidity drops, your skin naturally loses more water. Layering hydration helps. Start with a nourishing cleansing oil to melt away impurities while feeding your skin with protective lipids. Follow with a cream or balm rich in antioxidants and barrier-strengthening oils to lock everything in.
✨ Grace | Rae pick: Nourish Oil Cleanser + Barrier Balm for a dynamic duo that leaves skin supple and calm.
3. Protect Your Barrier
Wind outside, dry heat inside….your skin is facing challenges on both fronts. A compromised barrier can lead to redness, irritation, and breakouts. Prioritize products that soothe and strengthen, giving your skin the support it needs to stay balanced.
4. Don’t Skip SPF
It may feel counterintuitive when the sun is hiding behind clouds or when the days are shorter, but UV rays are still present and still aging. Daily SPF is non-negotiable year-round.
5. Add a Little Ritual
Skincare isn’t just about the products you use. It’s also about how you use them. Take a few extra moments to massage your cleanser in, breathe deeply while applying your balm, or finish your evening routine with gratitude. A slower ritual helps your mind unwind as much as your skin.
