Transitioning to Fall Skin Care

As the leaves change colours and the temperature begins to drop, it's not just your wardrobe that needs a seasonal shift. Your skincare routine should also adapt to the changing conditions that fall brings. The transition from the scorching days of summer to the cooler, drier autumn months requires a thoughtful adjustment to keep your skin healthy and radiant. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the steps to transform your skincare routine for fall.

1. Hydration is Key

  During the summer, your skin is exposed to higher temperatures and increased humidity, making it easier to stay hydrated. In contrast, fall air tends to be drier, which can lead to skin dehydration. To combat this, consider switching to a richer, more hydrating moisturizer. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to lock in moisture.


We love to add in a hydrating toner like Kai Klarify or PCA Hydrating Toner, followed by PCA Hyaluronic Acid Boosting Serum.



2. Gentle Cleansing

  While thorough cleansing is important year-round, it's essential not to strip your skin of its natural oils in the fall. Opt for a gentle, hydrating cleanser that will effectively remove dirt and makeup without over-drying your skin.


We love an oil based cleanser like Kai Klean or PCA Daily Cleansing Oil.


3. Exfoliate Mindfully

  Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells, promoting a radiant complexion. However, be cautious not to over-exfoliate in the fall. The cooler weather can make your skin more sensitive. Consider exfoliating once or twice a week with a mild exfoliant to maintain a healthy glow.



4. Sunscreen Remains Vital

  Even though the sun's intensity decreases in the fall, UV rays are still present. Continue to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV damage. Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, and don't forget to apply it to exposed areas like your face, neck, and hands.


Our fave is Alumier MD mineral sunscreens!


5. Switch to Heavier Creams and Serums

  As the climate gets colder, consider incorporating thicker creams and serums into your routine. Products with ingredients like shea butter, squalane, or argan oil can provide the extra nourishment your skin needs in the fall.


We recommend Kai Konvex Emulsion or PCA ReBalance.


6. Lip Care

  Don't neglect your lips as they are prone to dryness and chapping in the fall. Use a good quality lip balm with SPF to keep your lips soft and protected.


7. Stay Hydrated Inside and Out

  Hydrating your skin isn't just about topical products. Ensure you're drinking enough water to maintain your skin's moisture from the inside out. Herbal teas and warm water with lemon can be soothing choices for the season.



  If you're uncertain about how to adapt your skincare routine for fall or if you have specific skin concerns, consider booking a complimentary skin care consult. We can provide personalized recommendations and address any issues you may have.



Transitioning your skincare routine from summer to fall is all about maintaining hydration and protecting your skin from the changing weather conditions. By making these simple adjustments and being mindful of your skin's needs, you can keep your complexion radiant and healthy throughout the autumn season.



Embrace the fall season with a skincare routine that leaves your skin glowing with beauty.
