As the summer sun wanes and the turn of seasons promises the fall of autumn leaves, the demands placed on your skincare routine must also shift.
Why?
“Your summer skin care routine also may not protect your skin from fall and winter dryness,” wrote dermatologist Dr. Cynthia Bailey.
“As outdoor temperatures drop so does the humidity. Indoor heaters pull water out of your skin, hot showers also pull lipids out of your skin. This, in turn, leads to damage to skin barrier protein.”
So as you swap your summer duds out for more substantial ones suited for the fall, you should also consider creating a new fall skincare routine crafted specifically for you – and Sentè is here to help.
Prepare Yourself For the Change of Seasons With Our Fall Skincare Products
With temperatures cooling a bit – and it being likely that you’ll be spending a bit more time inside with each passing day – we’ve got a few recommendations that you might consider adding to your fall skincare lineup.
A Tale of Two Cleansers
It’s important to kickoff your fall skincare regimen with a cleanser – but which one?
For those with more sensitive skin prone to acne, rosacea, or eczema, our Daily Soothing Cleanser is the perfect choice. Complete with Vitamin E (a moisture replenishing antioxidant) and natural lipid complex to help support skin barrier function, this cleanser takes only moments to apply and rinse free.
On the other hand, Sentè’s Exfoliating Cleanser contains glycolic and phytic acid to promote gentle cell turnover for smoother and more radiant skin. The addition of skin conditioning complex acts to provide necessary moisture as well.
Both products have received nearly perfect reviews from customers (4.8 and 4.9 stars out of 5, respectively), meaning you can place your faith in the value of adding either to your skincare kit.
Bio Complete Serum
Sentè’s Bio Complete Serum is an absolutely vital element of your autumn skincare toolkit.
Our patented Heparan Sulfate Analog (HSA) promotes repair from within and also boosts the skin’s immune response to inflammation, and the inclusion of retinol and retinyl safflowerate helps further promote healthy turnover. A unique peptide blend caps off the serum, promoting the synthesis of collagen without irritation.
A recent review from Haylie L. says it all: “My favorite product. My skin texture is significantly improved and I receive compliments on my skin all the time now!”
Moisturizers On Offer
Completing the routine with a great moisturizer is key. For general use, you simply can’t go wrong with our Dermal Repair Ultra-Nourish. Blending HSA with ceramides and a trio of fatty acids (with Vitamin E on top for good measure) this nourishing cream can repair and replenish dry skin while also improving the appearance of fine lines and diminishing visible redness.
For those looking to improve the appearance of the décolléte area, Sentè’s Neck Firming Cream is ideal. Results from a clinical study showed “global improvement, including reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, redness, and uneven pigmentation.”
Applying a balanced and effective moisturizer is central to maintaining healthy skin during the fall months, as dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian relayed to Ipsy.
“Skin loses a lot of moisture into the environment when the air is less humid, such as during the transition from summer to fall,” she said.
Fall Skincare Tips With Autumn Ahead
While a few cozy sweaters and fall jackets might be welcome additions to the wardrobe, don't forget to think ahead and procure those cornerstones of your skincare regimen at the same time.
It's not exclusively about having the proper products on hand, either. Here are a few fall skincare tips to keep your skin happy and healthy as autumn looms.
If You Heat Your Home, a Humidifier May Be Called For: "You can minimize the potential for dry skin by using a humidifier to add moisturizer into the air during colder, drier months," Dr. Nazerian said. Particularly if you leave your heat on during the evening or overnight, a humidifier may be used strategically to keep things from getting overly dry.
Sunscreen Is Still a Thing: "Summer is over but UVA isn't. Nope, UVA is equally intense all year. Sun feels softer because the sunburn UVB ray is less intense, but the longer UVA wavelengths are still strong and they penetrate more deeply into your skin to cause wrinkles," Dr. Bailey wrote. Our Invisible Shield sunscreen has you covered, and more.
Watch Your Sugar Intake (and Stay Hydrated): "With the holiday season approaching in the colder months, it’s natural to be eating lots of yummy sweet treats... Keeping in mind, foods high in sugar and refined carbs can sometimes break out our skin due to hormone increases. Make sure to drink plenty of water and monitor your skin," Ipsy managing editor Maddie Aberman wrote. That's certainly wise advice given the proliferation of sweet treats that fall brings along with it!
