Autumn is the transitional season between monsoon and winter. It is that time of the year when leaves change color and the air starts to feel colder and drier. The changing weather always affects our skin in different ways. While the onset of summer brings acne and monsoon brings pigmentation, the coming winters bring dry skin and dullness. Autumn is the transitional period before winter when the skin needs to adjust to the loss of excess humidity and the sudden dryness in the air. This change in the weather also encourages a change in your skin care regimen. Adjusting your skin care regimen is not about adding more products to your regimen. No, it’s about switching and adjusting your routine to ensure your skin remains hydrated and moisturized in this dry air. From changing your moisturizer to adapting a skin hydration kit, there’s a lot you can do to combat dry skin. Let us explore some tips to fall-proof your skin in Autumn 2024.
Autumn and Our Skin
Whenever the weather takes a turn, it is quickly reflected not just in nature but also in our skin! The onset of Autumn is no different. While summer weather is harsh, causing us to sweat more, our skin is still happier. The sweating and oiliness of summer maintain the skin’s natural oil barrier and keep it nourished and hydrated, if a bit oily. But Autumn winds take away the humidity in the air making it drier and colder. This cold air soaks the skin’s natural oils, making it dry. Such dehydrated skin becomes irritated easily, causing dryness, redness, itching, etc. Cold also damages the skin’s natural protection against the environment and makes it more susceptible to further damage. Hence, Autumn skincare focuses on maintaining and restoring the skin’s natural barriers and keeping the skin hydrated and nourished.
Tips for Autumn Skin Care
Here are some tips to prepare your skin for the coming fall and ensure your skin is hydrated and healthy all year round:
Focus on Hydration
Hydration is the biggest concern for the skin in autumn. As the cold air drains the skin’s moisture, hydrating becomes essential. If you’re not already moisturizing your skin, then start doing so now. Opt for a richer moisturizer that hydrates the skin from within. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, niacinamide, etc. that provide deep hydration and nourishment. And if you don’t have a set skincare routine, you can try Kamree’s Skin Hydration Kit. It has all the elements that your skin needs to stay hydrated and supple in the autumn.
Sun Protection is a Must
Sun may not shine through the autumn clouds, but it’s still there, everpresent. The sun’s rays reach and damage our skin even in rainy and cloudy weather. So, sunscreen is a must all year round. Kamree’s mineral sunscreen gel forms a protective layer over the skin and prevents the sun’s UV rays from causing harm. Its lightweight formula and broad-spectrum protection make it the ideal sunscreen gel for oily skin.
Switch to Moisturizing Face Wash
Moisturizing the skin is essential in all seasons. But, in autumn it becomes more important as the skin faces challenges like dryness, itching, flaking, redness, etc. If your moisturizer is leaving your skin dry, it means you need a richer moisturizer to combat the autumn winds. Go for highly moisturizing ingredients like glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, etc.
Serums for Barrier Repair
In autumn, the skin’s natural protective barrier gets damaged by the cold winds and dry air. Adding a hydrating serum like Kamree’s niacinamide serum to your skincare routine can replenish the skin’s lost moisture and keep it plump and elastic in the autumn.
Final Words
Autumn is the transitional season that marks the end of monsoon and the beginning of winter. It is a season of balance, of endings as well as new beginnings. Changing your skincare game in this season is not just expected but also essential. Embrace the goodness of hydrating products like Kamree’s skin hydration kit and show your skin some love this autumn!
