It’s typical to change your wardrobe with the change of season, but did you know that your skin also goes through a transition from summer to fall? Sun damage, cooler temperatures, and indoor heat can cause skin to act up during this time of the year, when hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and a weakened skin barrier become more evident.
It’s typical to change your wardrobe with the change of season, but did you know that your skin also goes through a transition from summer to fall? Sun damage, cooler temperatures, and indoor heat can cause skin to act up during this time of the year, when hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and a weakened skin barrier become more evident.
Adjusting your skincare routine can help restore summer damage, protect your skin throughout the fall, and even prep skin to stand-up to the coming winter weather. K-Beauty addresses fall’s skin changes a few ways: the time-honored Korean skin care philosophy is deeply rooted in tending to the natural skin barrier, while its famous 10-step skincare routine is all about layering products to lock-in moisture and relying on ingredient blends that are gentle on your skin, yet powerful in results. Here are 5 tips to transition your skin from summer to fall!
- Make a commitment to double-cleansing: Why is the double-cleanse such a great addition to your fall routine? By using an oil-based cleanser first, makeup, sebum, and other grime melt away while your skin soaks in all the nutrients, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids of the oils – all without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. When it’s followed by a water-based cleanser, any remaining sweat, and other water-based impurities are rinsed off, so your skin is more thoroughly cleaned, pores are cleared, and skin is balanced and ready to better receive your other skincare products. Our own new double-cleansing duo includes:
- NOURISH Oil Cleanser is formulated with 8 emollient, occlusive oils including Apricot Kernel Oil, Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and Argan Oil to leave your skin feeling replenished, soft, and silky.
- REFRESH Jade Purifying Cleanser gently foams to cleanse, detoxify, and replenish and seal-in moisture with ingredients like high-alkaline Jade+ Water (a unique high-alkaline water filtered through the fine white Jade stratum located deep within the mountains of Korea), Ceramides, and Propolis to leave your skin feeling purified and clean. It also rebalances skin with a pH of 5.6.
- Slough off the summer: Dead skin cell build-up and hyperpigmentation are at their peak post-summer, so adding a gentle exfoliating peel to your routine 1-3 times per week will help restore soft skin texture and fade discoloration, plus it will amp-up the benefits of your serums and moisturizers.
- Our top selling GLOW Exfoliating Soft Peel is a great post-summer pick-me-up to reveal smooth, soft, bright, and moisturized throughout the fall with the dual chemical and mechanical exfoliating actions of Papaya Fruit enzymes and plant-based Microcrystalline Cellulose, plus Sodium Hyaluronate, Lipidure® PMB, Vitamin E, Licorice Root, and other ingredients. As it works, it balls up and rolls off all the dead skin and impurities for a thorough (and so satisfying!) exfoliating session.
- Mask-up: It doesn’t have to be Halloween for you to wear a mask! Applying a sheet mask a few times a week will help deliver a concentrated, deeply penetrating treatment, while preventing your skin’s moisture from escaping. A big benefit of sheet masking is that you can use a different one each time depending on your fall skin concerns.
- Our award winning 7-Day Skin Care System includes a set of 7 single-use sheet masks, each formulated to support a specific skincare goal like soothing, brightening, nourishing, healing, rejuvenating and repairing, revitalizing, and moisturizing, and is made with a biodegradable silky, Lux Cupra fabric that is comfortable on the skin and helps its serum penetrate easily. Our signature Aloisia beauty sheet masks always provide a generous amount of serum, so you can extend the TLC to your neck and decolletage.
- Switch to a more concentrated moisturizer. From cold air to dry heat, your natural skin barrier requires moisture protection during the fall months. Switching to a moisturizer enriched with ingredients that boost hydration, prevent moisture loss, and protect the lipid barrier can help shield skin from environmental stresses and prevent dry, itchy, flaky skin.
- Our new RESTORE Propolis Collagen Gel feels light on the skin, but it’s loaded with moisture-attracting, protective ingredients like Propolis, Honey, Sea Buckthorn, and Vitamin Tree Water to keep skin moisturized, soft, and protected, and also sustain that summer glow! It can be used AM or PM, or for added hydration during the fall and winter, it can be used before you apply your moisturizer.
- Keep a face mist handy. It’s not uncommon for skin to suddenly feel dry, tight, or itchy during the fall. Stashing a face mist in your bag, car, or even the office is a quick way to boost hydration and soothe discomfort, anytime and anyplace!
- Our cult-favorite DEEP HYDRATION Aloe Gel Mist is the perfect fall companion to hydrate and soothe on-demand – it magically transforms from a gel to a light, non-sticky mist that cools, calms, revitalizes and more with Aloe, Aloe Water, Cica, Witch Hazel, and Green Tea. With its light feel and fresh scent, a little spritz will leave you feeling completely revitalized.
Now that you know more about how the change of season affects your skin, it’s a great time to “fall” into a new routine!
