As the air turns crisp and the humidity drops, your skin feels the shift. Fall weather means less moisture in the air and more indoor heating — a combo that can leave your complexion dull, dry, and unbalanced. To keep your glow going strong, it's time to update your skincare routine for the season with richer hydration and gentle exfoliation.

Swap to a Creamy, Hydrating Cleanser

Why: Cold air and indoor heat can weaken your skin barrier.

How: Ditch the foaming wash for a creamy or hydrating cleanser to preserve your skin's natural oils. This will help prevent dryness and irritation, key to maintaining radiance as temperatures drop.

• The One Love Organics Botanical B Enzyme Cleansing Oil is a multi-tasking oil-based cleanser formulated to wash away impurities and exfoliate, while restoring moisture without disrupting the skin barrier.
• The Grown Alchemist Hydra-Restore Cream Cleanser removes makeup and cleanses, without dehydrating or irritating skin.

Boost Your Moisturizer Game for Colder Weather

Why: Cooler air means skin loses moisture faster.

How: Layer on hydration with a richer moisturizer or add a hyaluronic acid serum underneath your daily cream. Look for ingredients like ceramides, squalane, or shea butter to strengthen your moisture barrier.

• Naturopathica's Gotu Kola Intense Repair Balm is a supercharged, anti-inflammatory healing balm treatment that repairs and soothes skin while boosting moisture retention.
• The Moon Juice Plump Jelly Hyaluronic Serum combines hyaluronic acid with potent adaptogenic mushrooms to instantly hydrate and plump skin.

Don't Ditch the SPF in the Colder Months

Why: UV rays remain strong, even on cloudy fall days.

How: Keep using broad-spectrum SPF daily (even when you're wearing sweaters). Sun protection is your best defense against premature aging and hyperpigmentation year-round.

• The Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50 is a game-changer. An Allure Best of Beauty 2025 winner, this broad-spectrum SPF protects from UVA and UVB rays without leaving a white cast and is suitable for all skin types. Use as a makeup primer or as the final step in your daytime routine for a beautiful glow.

Gentle Exfoliation for Seasonal Skin

Why: Cooler temps can slow down skin cell turnover, leading to buildup and dullness.

How: Use a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week to smooth texture and enhance product absorption. The key is to avoid over-exfoliating to prevent any damage to your skin barrier.

• Moon Juice's Acid Potion contains a blend of AHAs and BHAs to resurface skin and accelerate cell turnover, resulting in smoother, more even-looking skin. Powered by niacinamide, this toner, named the Best Exfoliating Toner by Allure, exfoliates while preserving hydration and strengthening the skin barrier.

Add Oils or Overnight Masks for Extra Hydration

Why: Skin is at its driest overnight, which calls for extra nourishment.

How: Seal in hydration with a lightweight facial oil or a hydrating overnight mask a few times a week. Wake up to softer, plumper, more radiant skin.

• The Pai Skincare Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil is the finishing touch to your overnight regeneration process. Rosehip oil and Vitamin E work to repair damage, firm skin, and even out skin tone, while protecting from future stressors.
• The One Love Organics Skin Savior Multi-Tasking Wonder Balm is a multi-tasking moisturizer + mask that contains an antioxidant-rich blend of coconut oil, mango butter, and chia seed oil to hydrate and maintain moisture.
