Keep your skin healthy and happy this season with natural solutions to common skin care concerns.
As the days get shorter and the crisp autumn air rolls in, it's time to swap those summer sandals for cozy boots. And just like you wouldn't wear a tank top on a snow day (hopefully), your skin needs a seasonal wardrobe change, too.
If your skin’s been feeling a little tighter or drier lately, you’re not alone. The cooler weather can sneak up on your skin, leaving it in need of some serious hydration and extra care.
Whether you're a skin care newbie or a seasoned glow-getter, this guide is here to help you transition your routine with ease. As always, Life’s Abundance is ready to back you up with products that hydrate, protect, and keep your skin thriving all season long!
Ready to keep your skin looking merry and bright through the colder months? Let’s explore some easy tips to keep that summer glow going strong while you cozy up for fall.
How to Transition Your Skin Care from Summer to Fall
Switch to a Hydrating Cleanser As the temperatures drop and the air becomes drier, your skin needs a little extra love. That lightweight gel cleanser that worked wonders in the summer? It might be leaving your skin a little too squeaky clean for fall. Now’s the perfect time to switch to a gentle but deeply cleansing bar soap that nourishes while washing away impurities. Pro Tip: Look for soaps with charcoal and hydrating oils to deeply cleanse while maintaining moisture, leaving your skin feeling refreshed but never stripped.
Exfoliate Sparingly Exfoliating is like hitting the refresh button for your skin, but as the weather cools down, less is definitely more. Over-exfoliating can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it vulnerable to dryness and irritation. Instead, aim to exfoliate just 1-2 times a week and choose a gentle, nourishing exfoliator. Pro Tip: Avoid abrasive scrubs and opt for an exfoliant that is made from pure ingredients like hibiscus and colloidal oats for a soothing treatment.
Use a Hydrating Serum In the fall, hydration is everything. This is where a hydrating serum becomes your skin’s best friend. A good serum delivers moisture deep into the skin, leaving it plump and dewy even when the air outside is crisp and dry. Pro Tip: Apply your serum while your skin is still damp from cleansing to help lock in extra moisture for a longer-lasting, dewy finish.
Upgrade to a Thicker Moisturizer Your skin faces the elements during autumn–cool wind, dry air, and fluctuating indoor heating–so it needs extra protection. While your summer moisturizer might have been lightweight, fall requires a thicker, more protective barrier. Opt for one with emollients and like shea butter or squalane to keep your skin soft and shielded from the harsh environment. Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to layer! Apply your hydrating serum first, then lock in all that moisture with your thicker moisturizer.
Don’t Skip Sunscreen Just because the sun plays hide and seek behind those fall clouds doesn’t mean it’s time to toss your sunscreen. Harmful UV rays can still penetrate through clouds and wreak havoc on your skin year-round. Stick to a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin, no matter the season. Pro Tip: Apply sunscreen as the last step in your skin care routine to ensure maximum protection before heading out, even on cloudy days.
Treat Your Lips and Body Your face isn’t the only part of your skin that suffers from colder weather. Your lips and body need some TLC too! Dry, chapped lips and flaky skin are all too common in the fall, so stock up on nourishing lip balms and rich body lotions. The key is to apply them right after showering to lock in moisture when your skin is still damp. Pro Tip: Keep a hydrating lip balm in your bag and reapply throughout the day to avoid cracked lips.
Stay Hydrated Inside and Out The true secret to glowing skin in the fall? Hydration–and lots of it! While it’s easy to focus on creams and serums, nothing beats the foundational step of staying hydrated from within. Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin plump, supports its natural barrier, and aids in detoxifying, making all your other skin care steps even more effective. Pro Tip: Carry a reusable water bottle with you as a reminder to sip throughout the day. Your skin will thank you!
