As temperatures drop and air becomes drier, skin often feels tighter, more sensitive, and in need of extra nourishment. Fall is the season to transition your skincare routine: swapping lightweight summer staples for formulas that hydrate, protect, and strengthen the skin barrier. Here’s how to care for your complexion as the leaves begin to turn.
Daily Practices for Fall
Start with a gentle cleanse
Skin can easily become dehydrated as the weather starts to cool down, so it’s best to avoid harsh cleansers. Choose mild, pH-balancing formulas that purify without stripping. The Baobab Clay Oxygenating Cleanser eliminates impurities and unclogs pores while calming redness, leaving it soft and hydrated. For a richer option or for a double cleanse, the Pure Marula Cleansing Oil dissolves makeup, SPF, and pollution with lipid-rich botanical oils that keep the complexion supple and radiant.
Layer in hydration with an essence
A hydrating essence replenishes skin post-cleansing and prepares it for treatments. The Rose Treatment Essence refreshes, tones, and deeply moisturizes while reducing redness and improving radiance. For a nutrient-dense boost, the Infusion Essence infuses skin with peptides, desert botanicals, Vitamin C, and lactic acid to lock in hydration and restore luminosity.
Boost and strengthen
Fall is an ideal time to fortify the skin barrier. The Niacinamide Plumping Booster improves hydration, reduces redness, and restores balance, while the Ceramide Repair Booster locks in moisture and reinforces resilience. For compromised or reactive skin, Silver Rescue Serum restores equilibrium and strengthens the barrier with biome-protective ingredients.
Seal with nourishing moisture
Phyto-Collagen Restorative Cream combines plant collagen, ceramides, and bakuchiol to hydrate, firm, and smooth the look of fine lines. Those with drier skin may also reach for oils and balms. Pure Marula Oil penetrates deeply to replenish and protect against environmental stress, while the Intense Skin Repair Balm cocoons sensitive or reactive skin in soothing nourishment.
Weekly Treatments
Exfoliate gently
A weekly exfoliation helps remove dry, dull skin. The Buchu Botanical Enzyme Polish combines physical and enzymatic exfoliation to smooth and brighten without irritation. For a more clarifying reset, the Mineral Cleansing Mask combines kaolin, lactic acid, and niacinamide to revitalize and decongest while respecting skin’s balance.
Additional Tips
- Adjust with the weather: Cooler, windy days may call for richer creams and oils, while milder days might still suit lighter layers.
- Protect during the day: Even in fall, UV exposure remains a concern. Always finish with SPF.
- Mind the air indoors: Heaters can dehydrate skin. A humidifier helps maintain moisture levels.
