We’re coming out of summer, a time of excess par excellence. Excess sun, excess salt, chlorine, food, lack of sleep… and all of this starts to reflect in the state of our skin and hair. Just as we do with our wardrobe and style, our skin needs specific care that adapts to the seasonal conditions.
Autumn is a transitional time that allows us to recover our skin from the damage of the holidays and prepare it for the climatic particularities of the colder months. This implies some changes in the usual beauty routine, which we want to talk to you about today. It’s time to get to work!
Although each skin type has its particularities, here are some general keys to adapting your beauty ritual to the new season:
Get back to work, resume obligations, bring out the mid-season clothes… In these first days, try to be flexible with schedules, give yourself space for adaptation. Good organization is essential to recover pre-holiday habits, like practicing sports, getting enough rest, and eating more consciously with seasonal products. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables at this time is a vitamin cocktail that will soon be reflected in your skin and hair.
Before applying new products, it’s important to remove all the excess. A good exfoliation after summer is important to remove the dead cells in the outermost layer of the skin. When exfoliating, choose the most natural and gentle products possible. Remember that after summer, the skin is more sensitive and reactive.
Serums are always great beauty allies, helping us renew the skin and recover from previous damage. This season, serums with vitamin C are an excellent option. It’s a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and is essential for collagen production in skin cells, helping maintain skin firmness and delay signs of aging.
Remember that in autumn, humidity in the environment decreases, which makes the skin dry out more easily, something that will worsen as we start using heaters. Added to this is the dryness accumulated from sun exposure, chlorine, and salt, so it’s important to choose products rich in hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or incorporate a facial oil into your nightly beauty routine.
Whether you chose to spend a few days at the beach or in the mountains this summer, the sun, heat, wind, chlorine, or salt likely took a toll on your hair. The most important thing this time of year is to restore and rehydrate it. Choose a good mask and conditioner that provide the extra softness and shine needed after summer. A new look that trims and rejuvenates the hair always helps us feel good as we face the routine again.
