As temperatures drop and humidity decreases, your skin may feel drier, tighter, or less comfortable. Cooler outdoor air and indoor heating can both affect how well skin retains moisture, making fall a good time to add more hydration to your daily routine.
The good news? A fall skincare routine doesn't need to be complicated. Instead of adding more steps, focus on a few essentials: gentle cleansing, hydration, moisture, and targeted eye care.
Here’s a simple four-step routine to help keep skin hydrated, soft, and comfortable throughout the cooler months.
Step 1: Cleanse Without Stripping Your Skin
Cleansing is essential year-round, but as the weather changes, pay attention to how your skin feels afterward. If it regularly feels tight or uncomfortable, your cleanser may be removing more than just makeup and impurities.
Mild Creamy Cleanser gently cleanses while helping preserve the skin's natural moisture. Avocado oil, naturally rich in fatty acids, helps care for the skin and leaves it feeling soft and comfortable after cleansing.
How to use it: Massage over the face and neck using gentle circular motions, then remove with lukewarm water or a damp compress. Use morning and evening.
Fall skincare tip: Clean skin doesn't need to feel "squeaky clean." A comfortable, soft feeling after cleansing is a better starting point for a hydrating skincare routine.
Step 2: Replenish Hydration With a Serum
After cleansing, give your skin a concentrated boost of hydration.
Deep Xpress Moist Serum delivers immediate, long-lasting moisture with hyaluronic acid and other moisture-binding ingredients that help skin look smoother, fresher, and more hydrated.
This extra layer can be especially helpful in fall, when lower humidity can contribute to dehydrated, tight-feeling skin.
How to use it: Apply to clean skin in the morning and evening before your moisturizer.
Step 3: Lock In Moisture With a Hydrating Cream
After applying your serum, follow with moisturizer.
Super Hydrating Cream delivers intensive, long-lasting moisture for dry, moisture-deficient skin. Hyaluronic acid helps hydrate and smooth the appearance of dryness-related fine lines, while shea butter and macadamia oil nourish the skin and support its natural barrier function.
Despite its rich moisturizing benefits, the cream absorbs quickly and wears comfortably under makeup.
How to use it: Gently massage over the face, neck, and décolleté after applying your serum. Use in the morning and/or evening.
As the weather gets cooler, pay attention to how your skin feels throughout the day. Increasing dryness or tightness can be a sign that it's time to prioritize moisture and skin barrier support.
Step 4: Give the Eye Area Extra Hydration
The delicate skin around the eyes can also show signs of dehydration, including more noticeable dryness lines and a tired appearance.
Aqualift Eye Gel provides targeted hydration with long- and short-chain hyaluronic acid, helping the eye area look smoother and more refreshed. Its lightweight, oil-free gel texture also provides a cooling sensation around the eyes.
How to use it: Apply around the eye area in the morning and evening, gently patting the product into the skin with your fingertips.
Don't Forget SPF in the Fall
Sun protection isn't just for summer. UV exposure continues throughout fall and winter, including on cooler or cloudy days.
After completing your morning skincare routine, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen appropriate for your skin.
