Fall Skincare Essentials

As the leaves turn and the air becomes crisp, our skincare routines need a seasonal refresh. Fall brings unique challenges for our skin, from dryness caused by cool air to lingering summer sun damage. Here's your guide to keeping your skin radiant and healthy all autumn long.

Hydrating Cleansers

Say goodbye to the lightweight, gel-based cleansers of summer and hello to creamy, hydrating options. In cooler months, your skin produces less oil, so it's essential to use a cleanser that won't strip away what little moisture remains. Look for formulas with ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to lock in hydration while keeping your skin barrier intact.

Our Recommendations:

• Cleansing Complex by iS Clinical

• Barrier Balance Cream by Face Reality

• Cleansing Gel by Skinbetter

Rich Moisturizers

Fall is the time to upgrade your moisturizer. Opt for thicker creams or balms that provide a protective layer against the dry air. Ingredients like shea butter, squalane, and glycerin are your skin's best friends, helping to prevent water loss and maintaining that soft, supple glow.

Our Recommendations:

• Trio Luxe by Skinbetter

• Comfort Cream by GlyMed Plus

• Reparative Moisture Emulsion by iS Clinical

Exfoliation—But Gently!

While summer often calls for robust exfoliation to combat excess oil and sweat, fall requires a more gentle touch. Switch to a milder exfoliant, like a lactic acid or enzyme-based formula, to slough away dead skin cells without causing irritation. Once or twice a week should be sufficient to keep your complexion smooth and radiant.

Our Recommendations:

• Active Peel System by iS Clinical

• Warm Honey Cleanser by iS Clinical

• Detox Scrub by Skinbetter

SPF: A Year-Round Must

Just because the sun feels less intense doesn't mean you can skip sunscreen. UV rays are still present even on cloudy fall days, contributing to premature aging and pigmentation. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30, and consider formulas with added hydration for a two-in-one benefit.

Our Recommendations:

• Moisturizing Protection Cream with SPF 30 by GlyMed Plus

• Tonesmart SPF 75 by Skinbetter

Hydrating Serums

Layering is essential in fall, and that applies to skincare, too. After cleansing and before moisturizing, use a hydrating serum rich in hyaluronic acid or peptides. This extra step helps to lock in moisture and plump your skin, keeping it dewy even as temperatures drop.

Our Recommendations:

• HydraBalance Gel by Face Reality

• Hydra-Cool Serum by iS Clinical

• Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum by Skinbetter
