As the heat of summer begin to turn to cooler breezes, it's almost time to welcome the cozy embrace of autumn. Along with the shifting seasons comes a gentle reminder to adapt your skincare routine to the change of the environment so let's explore how to gracefully transition your skincare ritual for the changing weather ahead.
1. Hydration is Key: As we say goodbye to the humidity of summer, the cooler air of autumn can leave your skin feeling drier and more prone to dehydration. Ensure you are moisturising morning and night to replenish lost moisture and protect your skin's natural barrier. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to lock in hydration and keep your skin supple and radiant. Try our Rejuvenating HY C Serum and Daily Glow Moisturiser.
2. Mindful Cleansing: With the decrease in humidity, your skin may start to produce less oil, making it essential to adjust your cleansing routine accordingly. Opt for gentle cleansers that effectively remove impurities without stripping away essential moisture. Consider incorporating an oil-based cleanser like our Nourishing Face Cleanser to nourish and protect your skin's delicate balance during the transition to autumn.
3. Exfoliate with Caution: While exfoliation remains an important step in any skincare routine, be mindful of over-exfoliating as the seasons change. The cooler, drier air can leave your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. Choose exfoliants with gentle, non-abrasive ingredients like enzymes or lactic acid to slough away dead skin cells and reveal a luminous complexion without causing undue stress to your skin. Try our AHA Enzyme Exfoliant once a week during autumn.
4. Sun Protection Never Goes Out of Season: Despite the cooler temperatures and overcast skies, UV rays still pose a threat to your skin year-round. Continue to prioritise sun protection by incorporating a broad-spectrum sunscreen into your daily skincare routine. Opt for lightweight, zinc based, natural, non-comedogenic formulas that offer SPF 50 to shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays and prevent premature ageing.
5. Nourish from Within: As we transition into autumn, take a holistic approach to skincare by nourishing your skin from the inside out. Load up on antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and nuts to combat free radical damage and promote a healthy, radiant complexion. Stay hydrated by sipping on herbal teas and infusing your water with slices of citrus and cucumber to keep your skin glowing from within.
6. Listen to Your Skin: Above all, pay attention to the changing needs of your skin as you transition from summer to autumn. Be mindful of any changes in texture, tone, or sensitivity, and adjust your skincare routine accordingly. Trust your skin's cues and choose products that address its unique concerns with care and intention.
A little goes a long way & my skin is clearer!! You won’t regret your purchase.
My essential daily skincare routine. Everyone comments on how youthful my skin looks!
Long time user of the cleanser and moisturizer (won't use anything else!) unfortunately I'm aging and noticing it so onto trying the HY C serum and bright eyes cream! My skin feels super hydrated when I wake up but too heavy for day use in hot FNQLD! Early days to say it helps my skin but loving it so far.
I've been using Bohemian skin for three and a half years now and the quality and efficacy of the ingredients has really made a difference to my confidence in my own skin. I've used it throughout two pregnancy and postpartum journeys, and it's now an entrenched part of my self-care routine. The gel cleanser in particular is my favourite as it is so gentle on my rosacea and effective at removing oil build-up throughout the day. The pimple spot cream has also been wonderful to alleviate pain from pre-period spots that occur. If you pair this routine with a good nutritious, whole foods diet, plenty of water and exercise, your skin will thank you.
