Transition into autumn and care for your skin.
Reading this now, you are probably already in your autumn gear. Am I right? Does summer feel like a distant memory? Long hours of bright sunshine, beach time, salty water, perhaps some hikes and long evenings out with family or friends? All sounds blissful, but believe me, your skin run had its own marathon. Summer season may leave a noticeable impact, which we don’t realize until the cooler months arrive. It’s during this time, that we need to rethink our skincare routines. Autumn offers an ideal opportunity to repair the damage, restore balance, and prepare for the cooler months ahead.
Sun exposure, while bringing us that sought-after bronzed glow, also leads to faster skin aging, dehydration, and collagen breakdown. This leaves us facing common post-summer skin concerns: dry patches, sunspots, fine lines, and that tight, weather-beaten feeling.
Let me share with you a quick pill of information that may help to plan your autumn skincare routine.
How Does the Summer Sun Affect Your Skin?
Here’s a breakdown of the sun’s impact on the skin:
- Sunburn: Nature’s Red Carpet Look Too much time in the sun can leave you with that lobster-red glow—nature’s way of reminding you to apply sunscreen. Sunburn is not just uncomfortable; it damages skin cells and can cause long-term issues like hyperpigmentation and premature aging.
- The “Leather Bag” Transformation If you’ve ever noticed that after years of sun exposure, your skin starts resembling a well-worn leather bag, you’re not alone. UV rays weaken your skin’s collagen, leading to a loss of firmness and a more textured appearance.
- Freckles: Nature’s Connect-the-Dots Game Spending time in the sun can cause freckles to multiply. While they can look charming, excess sun exposure turns these playful spots into a connect-the-dots game on your face!

Reassess your skincare routine, and with the right approach, you can reverse much of the damage the summer sun leaves behind. Below are some essential tips to help you transition into fall with glowing, healthy skin:

A Few More Tips for Post-Summer Skincare
As you transition into autumn, consider these additional tips to give your skin the extra care it needs:
- Hydrate from the inside out: Just as important as applying moisturizers is keeping your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
- Use sunscreen year-round: The sun may not feel as intense in autumn, but UV rays are still present. Continue to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from ongoing sun damage.
- Add moisture to your home: As heating systems start running, indoor air becomes dry. Using a humidifier can help keep your skin hydrated.
- Avoid long, hot showers: Hot water strips your skin of its natural oils. Instead, use warm water, and don’t forget to moisturize immediately after.
