Do you want to get your skin fall-ready? Here’s how to transition skincare for the upcoming season.

It is almost time to bid goodbye to the sweltering summer heat and welcome the cooler, crisper days of fall. As the temperature drops, it is not just your wardrobe that needs a refresh–your skincare routine deserves a reboot too. Fall brings cooler temperatures and a drop in humidity, resulting in dry air and even drier skin. Combine this with dry heat from radiators, and you have a recipe for skin woes like eczema and dry, itchy skin. It is vital to accommodate these weather changes with the help of your skincare routine to tackle these issues. Fret not! We have got you covered with a comprehensive guide on how to transition skincare from summer to fall, ensuring your skin remains healthy and radiant. 

Switch to a richer moisturizer

With fall in full swing, it is the perfect time to transition skincare and swap out your lightweight summer moisturizers with richer, cream-based formulas. Your skin demands extra hydration when the air becomes colder and drier in the fall. You can try By Biolite’s Skin Defence Cream to provide deep nourishment to your skin on crisp fall days. The nourishing formula rapidly restores comfort as Microspheres and liposome-encapsulated rosemary help restore the skin's protective barrier and combat the effects of dry air and indoor heating systems, thus giving you hydrated and glowing skin. 

Apply actives like vitamin C 

If you want to undo the damage that the summer sun has wreaked on your skin, it is a wise idea to incorporate vitamin C into your summer-to-fall transition skincare routine. Vitamin C helps in the repair of any summer skin damage, such as dark spots or uneven skin tone. Furthermore, daily vitamin C topical application can protect your skin from excessive sun damage. So, you can enjoy the fall sun without compromising your skin. Introducing a vitamin C product into your skincare routine can also help boost collagen production and protect you from free radical damage.

Don’t forget sunscreen 

Just because the sun appears to be less intense during fall, you can’t skip sunscreen before stepping out. SPF is an integral part of any summer-to-fall transition skincare routine because proper sun protection is a yearlong deal. UV rays are still present in the autumn and can cause severe skin damage. To protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. For extra protection, try a moisturizer with built-in SPF. By Biolite’s Zinc Block is an excellent sunscreen alternative since it provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and glides on smooth with a greaseless, invisible finish in only 60 seconds.

Start exfoliating

Exfoliation is essential for keeping good skin all year, but the way you do it may need to alter with the seasons. As you transition skincare from summer to fall, consider switching from harsh physical exfoliants to gentler chemical exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). These can help remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and help you achieve a more smoother and radiant complexion without causing irritation. You can try By Biolite’s AHA Foaming Mousse to get rid of months of sweat, oil and SPF. This potent, sulfate-free exfoliating cleansing foam glides past congested pores to provide deep-penetrating purifying action in seconds.

If you want to transition skincare from summer to fall, you need to adapt to the changing climate and pay attention to the specific needs of your skin during this time. By making these few tweaks in your skincare routine, you can keep your skin healthy, moisturized and luminous throughout the fall season.
