Guide: Fall Skin Care

As autumn settles in with its cooler temps and drier air, your skin is trying to adjust and it might be staging a little protest. That tight, dry feeling after you wash your face? The unexpected flakiness? Maybe even some redness or sensitivity? That's your skin telling you it needs a little extra love right now.

Here's the science part (we'll keep it quick!): falling humidity levels strip away your skin's natural oils, leading to dryness, dehydration, and sensitivity. Layer on indoor heating systems that zap even more moisture from the air, the stress of fall routines kicking back into gear, and all that handwashing during cold season. Your poor skin is working overtime.

The good news? A few simple tweaks to your fall skincare routine can make all the difference.

Your Fall Skincare Solution (No Guesswork Required)

Forget the overwhelming 10-step routines and the drawer full of products that promised miracles but delivered disappointment. What your skin actually needs right now is simpler and more effective than you think.

Your skin isn't being difficult, it's just asking for a little seasonal adjustment. Here's how to keep it happy, hydrated, and glowing all autumn long with clean beauty essentials.

1. Switch to Richer Moisture

Fall's drier air calls for richer botanical skincare formulas that keep your skin comfortable all day, not tight and thirsty by noon.

The best part? You don't need a complicated fall skincare routine. Just a few intentional all-natural skin care products that work harder so you don't have to think harder.

For Your Face:

Crème Nouveau is your anti-aging, nutrient-dense cream moisturizer that delivers deep hydration and rich botanical nourishment. Formulated with ingredients like Shea Butter, Babassu Oil, and antioxidant-rich botanical extracts, this cream strengthens your skin's barrier while locking in moisture. With over 70 five-star reviews, it's proven to keep skin comfortable and hydrated throughout the cooler months.

Oil Nouveau offers antioxidant-filled nourishment that can be used alone or layered under your moisturizer for extra protection against fall's harsh elements. This lightweight oil absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, making it perfect for daily use.

For Your Body:

Butter Balms are essential for locking in moisture immediately after your shower when skin is still damp. Available in multiple nourishing scents, these rich balms create a protective barrier that keeps skin soft and supple all day.

Baby Bumps Balm (not just for baby bumps!) is formulated with Cocoa Butter and Rice Bran for skin that needs extra hydration. Now available in a beautiful glass jar, this intensive balm is perfect for hands, elbows, knees, and any area experiencing extreme dryness. The combination of Cocoa Butter's emollient properties and Rice Bran's vitamin-rich nourishment makes this an ideal treatment for fall's driest patches.

2. Gentle Daily Exfoliation

Dead skin cells, product buildup, and daily grime create a layer on your skin that prevents your moisturizers from penetrating effectively. Gentle daily exfoliation is crucial for allowing your fall skincare products to actually absorb and do their job.

Why Daily Exfoliation Matters:

When dead skin cells accumulate, even the richest moisturizer will sit on the surface rather than sinking in to hydrate deeper layers. This is especially problematic in fall when your skin is already struggling with dryness. Gentle, consistent exfoliation removes this barrier without causing irritation or sensitivity.

How to Exfoliate Gently:

Yuzu Oil Cleanser + Cotton Pad or Washcloth provides gentle daily buffing while cleansing. The oil-based formula dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime while the physical action of the cotton pad or soft washcloth provides light exfoliation. This method is gentle enough for daily use yet effective enough to keep skin smooth and receptive to moisturizers.

Scrub Buds are woven silk exfoliating pods that are rich in proteins and amino acids. Scrub Buds are wonderful for all skins, and exceptional for skin that is suffering from acne and congestion or dryness and dehydration (they can also be used on the tops of hands and cuticles!). Simply dampen the silk pod and massage over damp skin in circular motions for a fresh, smooth feeling. 

3. Add a Hydration Boost with Facial Mists

When humidity drops and indoor heating kicks in, your skin needs an extra layer of hydration that goes deeper than moisturizer alone can provide. Facial mists deliver instant hydration while prepping your skin to absorb everything you layer on top.

Hydrating Facial Mists deliver water, botanical essences, and minerals that quench thirsty skin and strengthen your skin's natural barrier. Think of them as mineral water for your face—lightweight hydration that penetrates immediately, brightens with herbal essences, and creates the perfect foundation for the rest of your fall skincare routine. Spray generously after cleansing or throughout the day when indoor heating leaves your skin feeling tight and parched.

The Result?

Hydrated skin that feels good. A simple botanical skincare routine you actually look forward to. And that confident feeling when you look in the mirror and think, "Yeah, I've got this."

By making these simple adjustments you'll help your skin transition smoothly into fall while maintaining its health, comfort, and natural radiance.
