Why this worksCooler weather can lead to drier air, which strips moisture from your skin. By incorporating richer moisturisers and gentle cleansers, you can help maintain hydration and protect your skin barrier. This routine emphasises nourishment and moisture retention, essential for the autumn months.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Switch to a cream cleanser Start your routine by using a cream-based cleanser that won't strip natural oils. This gentle formula will effectively remove impurities without leaving your skin feeling tight.
  2. Layer on a hydrating serum After cleansing, apply a hydrating serum packed with ingredients like hyaluronic acid. This will help draw moisture into your skin, providing a solid base for your moisturiser.
  3. Use a rich moisturiser Choose a thicker moisturiser to lock in hydration. Look for products containing ceramides or glycerin, as they help to repair the skin barrier and keep moisture in.
  4. Don't forget sunscreen Even in cooler months, UV rays can damage your skin. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin from harmful rays, even when it’s cloudy outside.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip moisturiser in cooler weather, thinking their skin is oily enough. Others might not apply enough sunscreen daily, assuming it's unnecessary in autumn. It's also common to continue using summer products that may not provide enough hydration.

The pro moveConsider incorporating a facial oil at night for an extra boost of moisture.
