How to Care for Your Skin in the Fall?

Warm sunny days are slowly fading away, replaced by cooler, windy weather, and along with falling leaves comes the question of what to do with your skincare routine so your skin makes it through fall in the best possible condition. It’s important to give it proper care and provide what it needs during this transitional period. Focus on strengthening and protecting your skin.

Harmful effects of fall

In fall, the biggest threat to your skin can be the weather—wind, cold, frost, as well as frequent transitions from warmth to cold, overheated rooms and their dry air, or a weaker drinking routine. A major issue can also be concentrated smog, whose dust particles cling to the skin like magnets. All of this can affect the health of our skin, which is more prone during this period to flaking, various irritations, inflammation, or redness. The look of the skin is also affected by so-called fall fatigue, which usually comes with cooler months and the time change, when it gets dark earlier. In addition, the skin loses its pleasant, lively summer color, especially due to less time in the sun and fresh air. What can you do about it? 

Fall rules for clear skin

As always, it’s important to follow the principles of a healthy lifestyle if we want to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin in cold weather. Even though the need to quench thirst fades with lower temperatures, still keep up your drinking routine. Skin cells need moisture from the inside and the outside. Don’t forget enough sleep and rest, and a varied diet.
Also, don’t count on the sun and its harmful rays disappearing completely in fall. Even during fall, the sun can burn your face with its radiation. That’s why you shouldn’t forget suitable creams with protective UV filters, such as the sunscreen Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics with hydrating and soothing effects and SPF 50. A natural sunscreen milk with SPF 30 Yadah Oh My Sun Protection Milk can also help, deeply hydrating and nourishing the skin. Or you can “kill two birds with one stone” and apply a long-lasting BB cream with SPF 38 in the morning Purito Cica Clearing BB Cream—it provides flawless coverage, deep hydration, and protection. 

Proper care is the foundation

Everything starts with clean, fresh skin. You shouldn’t underestimate makeup removal and subsequent thorough cleansing of dead skin cells, dust particles, or impurities from the outside environment. In fall, feel free to use richer creams with a more nourishing texture, such as Missha Makeup Remover and Cleansing Cream Super Aqua Ultra Hyalron Cleansing Cream, a hypoallergenic makeup-removing and cleansing cream with hyaluronic acid. It gently and thoroughly cleanses the skin, removes impurities, and at the same time deeply hydrates and nourishes it. Toss the cotton pad and, with a little water, massage the cream into your skin using your palms—it’s a gentle and effective way to remove impurities, pores are nicely released, the skin is stimulated and activated. Then rinse everything thoroughly with lukewarm water. You can also try a makeup-removing and cleansing oil with calendula IUnik Calendula complete Clensing Oil, which deeply cleanses the skin without drying it out. 

Don’t forget a toner that will give your stressed skin moisture, vitamins, and nourishment. For a highly rated hydrating toner with soothing effects, reach for Skin79 Makeup Remover and Cleansing Toner Jeju Aloe Aqua Toner with extracts from eight intoxicatingly fragrant flowers. Deep and intensive hydration is guaranteed by IsNtree Strong Hydrating Toner Hyaluronic Acid Toner Plus thanks to the content of 5 different hyaluronic acids. 

In fall, our skin appreciates thorough care more than ever in the form of quality serums

For hydration, choose richer, nourishing serums that create a protective layer on the skin against external influences, such as the ultra-hydrating and nourishing serum with rose water IUnik Ultra Rose Galactomyces Synergy Serum, which brightens skin tone and improves its texture. Also worth trying is the regenerating and hydrating serum with Centella asiatica extract Skin79 Cica Pine Intense Relief Serum, which stimulates natural cell renewal and protects the skin from aging and external influences.

Treat yourself occasionally to face masks or a peel. For skin hydration, a sheet mask such as Missha Airy Fit Sheet Mask Pearl with brightening effects can help, or the soothing and brightening mask Holika Holika Pure Essence Mask Sheet with avocado extract. For radiant, healthy-looking skin, it helps to use a gentle lemon peeling gel a few times a week Secret Key Lemon Sparkling Peeling Gel.
