Skincare routine and autumn

With summer behind us, we now look towards the cold season. Properly facing the transition from the hottest season to the coldest means taking adequate care of your skin even in the intermediate season: autumn. The latter must be approached with the awareness that there are products and treatments that can be resumed after a long summer break, while at the same time maintaining some good habits from summer.

Let's discover more about skincare in autumn.

Exfoliation

Autumn is the right season to resume exfoliating treatments. Exfoliation of the skin can indeed lead to photosensitization, depending on the type of product used and its ingredients. Therefore, in summer, when one is more exposed to sunlight, it is not recommended to proceed with this type of treatment. At the same time, however, it is a true pampering for the skin that literally allows it to be reborn. Through exfoliation, it is possible to remove dead cells present on the skin, promoting cellular turnover. The result will be a fresh and radiant complexion.

Doing this type of treatment after the summer is very useful for getting rid of sun spots that may have formed during the summer period if one has been exposed to the sun for too long.

Hydration

Hydration should always be sought, at any time of the year. However, while in summer we opt for light textures and gentle formulations, in autumn we can start applying some richer, more nourishing creams. Indeed, with the cold, our skin produces fewer lipids and its protective barrier becomes less resilient. Therefore, it is necessary to remedy this with richer and more nourishing creams and formulations.

Preparing the skin with this type of product will allow you to avoid suffering from skin redness and excessive dryness caused by cold temperatures. Wind is also a significant factor that contributes to drying out the skin, and therefore it is essential to always protect yourself from these environmental factors by using moisturizing products that help preserve the natural skin barrier.

In case of particularly dry skin during the coldest period, one can opt for the use of oils. The oil indeed creates a hydrolipidic film that allows the cells to retain water inside for a longer time, preventing dehydration and dryness in the most at-risk areas of the face.

The right treatment with face masks

Face masks are a type of product that is already very well known and loved by beauty addicts. The advantage of face masks is that they allow for great results in a very short time. Moreover, there are different types for every need and with specific ingredients for the issues being addressed.

It is important to remember that when choosing the right face mask, not only the time of year matters, but also and above all how your skin specifically reacts to the change in temperature. One must think that products are not formulated based on the seasons, but rather based on the different needs of the skin. Therefore, if as you approach the colder period your skin tends to dry out a lot and needs a boost of hydration, then such a concentrated product may be right for you.
