Saying goodbye to the glow of summer is hard, but your skin can still look great as you transition into fall with a few easy additions to your skincare routine. As the seasons begin to change, you may see changes in your skin. The air begins to lose moisture and the temperatures drop making skin more prone to dryness and irritation. Here are a few tips to update your routine and keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

Gentle exfoliation is always essential to smooth, clear skin but now is the time to make this step a priority. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and clear pores. We love the benefits of a gentle oat mask because of its natural exfoliating properties. It is rich in antioxidants and is suited for all skin types.

Exfoliation is usually recommended 2x-3x per week but if you find you need to add an extra day or two in the fall do it! If your skin becomes irritated you can reduce the number of days or try a more gentle exfoliator.

By now most of us have heard of the beauty benefits of retinal. It’s been a rockstar for years for its anti-aging benefits. A few pitfalls of this amazing product are the skin can become irritated and very sensitive to sunlight. Because of these side effects, a lot of people stop using retinol in the summer months and may not be able to tolerate it any time of year.

Fall is the perfect time to introduce retinal to your routine. And to prevent the side effects mentioned above, we recommend using a plant-based retinal that is gentler on the skin. When choosing a plant-based retinol look for one made with bakuchiol oil. This is the only plant derivative that has been clinically proven to mimic the benefits of Retinal.

Add the retinal into your skincare routine by applying to clean, exfoliated skin before bedtime.
