5 Ways to Transition Your Skincare Routine from Summer to Fall

As the warm days of summer give way to the cool, crisp air of fall...we hope 🤞🏻... your skincare routine needs a seasonal update. The changing weather can have a significant impact on your skin, from increased dryness to a loss of that summer glow. To keep your skin radiant and healthy as we move into autumn, it's essential to adapt your skincare regimen to meet these new challenges.

 

Here are five key ways to transition your skincare routine from summer to fall:

 

 

1. Switch to a Richer Moisturizer

Summer's lighter lotions might have kept your skin hydrated during the hot months, but fall's cooler temperatures and lower humidity can quickly strip moisture from your skin. To combat this, consider switching to a richer, more emollient moisturizer that will provide a stronger barrier against dryness.

 

Why It Matters: As the air becomes drier, your skin’s natural moisture levels can decrease, leading to dryness, flakiness, and irritation. A thicker moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid & ceramides will help lock in hydration and keep your skin feeling soft and supple.

 

Our Moisturizing Complex by iS CLINICAL is perfect for adding an extra layer of moisture to your skin as the weather cools down. It’s formulated with potent antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to deeply nourish and hydrate.

 

 

2. Introduce a Hydrating Serum

In the summer, you might have focused on lightweight serums that provided antioxidants or oil control. However, fall is the perfect time to introduce a hydrating serum into your routine. These serums penetrate deeper into the skin, delivering essential moisture and helping to maintain a healthy skin barrier.

 

Why It Matters: A hydrating serum acts as a moisture boost beneath your moisturizer, ensuring that your skin stays hydrated from within. This can be particularly beneficial as we start to spend more time in heated indoor environments, which can dry out the skin.

 3. Gently Exfoliate to Renew Skin

The summer sun can leave your skin with a buildup of dead cells, leading to dullness and uneven texture. As you transition into fall, it's important to incorporate gentle exfoliation into your routine to slough off these dead skin cells and reveal a brighter complexion.

 

Why It Matters: Exfoliating helps to clear away dead skin cells, allowing your moisturizer and other products to penetrate more effectively. It also helps prevent clogged pores and can enhance the overall radiance of your skin.

 

Our Peptide Micro Scrub is designed to polish away dead skin cells, leaving your skin incredibly smooth and ready to absorb the nourishing ingredients in your skincare routine.

 

 

4. Don’t Forget the SPF

 

As the days get shorter and the sun feels less intense, it might be tempting to skip the sunscreen. However, UV rays are still present year-round, and protecting your skin from sun damage is just as important in the fall as it is in the summer.

 

Why It Matters: Even on cloudy days, UV rays can penetrate the skin, contributing to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and even skin cancer. A broad-spectrum sunscreen should remain a staple in your daily skincare routine, regardless of the season.

 

Our Daytime Defense SPF 30 provides broad-spectrum protection without feeling heavy on the skin, making it ideal for year-round use.

 

 

5. Repair Summer Damage with a Nourishing Mask

 

After a summer of sun exposure, your skin may need some extra TLC to recover and prepare for the cooler months ahead. Incorporating a nourishing, repairing mask into your weekly routine can help address any lingering damage and restore your skin’s health.

 

Why It Matters: A deeply hydrating and repairing mask can help replenish lost moisture, soothe sun-damaged skin, and prepare your skin to better handle the environmental changes that come with fall.
