As autumn arrives, we start to see changes in our environment. The weather begins to cool, the leaves turn beautiful shades of red and gold, and the air feels crisp and refreshing. However, the change in weather can also have a significant impact on our skin.
During the autumn months, the air becomes drier, and the humidity levels drop. This decrease in moisture can cause our skin to become dry, itchy, and irritated. Additionally, colder temperatures can cause blood vessels in the skin to constrict, reducing blood flow and leaving the skin looking dull and tired.
If you’re concerned about the effects of autumn weather on your skin, don’t worry. There are various remedies that can help prevent or fix any issues that arise. Here are some tips to help you maintain healthy, glowing skin throughout the season.
Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise
The key to keeping your skin hydrated and healthy during the autumn months is to moisturise regularly. Look for a moisturiser that is specifically designed for your skin type and contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides. These ingredients help to lock in moisture and prevent dryness.
We recommend using BE ACTIVE Conditioning Masque. Packed with essential vitamins b and e, as well as herbal essence, this rapidly conditioning masque only needs less than a minute to rehydrate and soften the skin. Available exclusively to Pores X.
Exfoliate
Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, leaving your skin fresh and glowing. Use a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week to avoid over-exfoliating, which can cause irritation and dryness.
We recommend using the 2022 Wellbeing Beauty Award Winner, Clarifier HD Hydro Exfoliating Micro. Your skin will feel instantly smooth, clean and refreshed.
Protect your skin from the sun
Even though the weather may be cooler, it’s still important to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from damage and premature ageing.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water is essential for keeping your skin hydrated from the inside out. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day to help maintain healthy, glowing skin.
We highly recommend getting our Oxygen Infusion Treatment once a month for external skin hydration. This premium facial treatment actively hydrates your skin from just the 1st treatment.
Use a Humidifier
As the air becomes drier during the autumn months, using a humidifier can help to add moisture back into the air and prevent your skin from becoming dry and itchy.
The New York Times has done all the hard work for you and compiled a list of the best humidifiers for 2023.
Autumn weather can significantly impact our skin, but with the proper care and attention, you can prevent or fix any issues that arise. By moisturising regularly, exfoliating, protecting your skin from the sun, staying hydrated, and using a humidifier, you can keep your skin healthy and glowing all season long. Remember, taking care of your skin is a year-round commitment, so don’t neglect it during the cooler months.
