Fall Skincare: As the seasons change, so does your skin
Just like your wardrobe gets a cozy upgrade in fall, your skincare routine deserves a seasonal switch too. The cooler, drier air outside (and the heated air inside) can leave your skin feeling tight, dull, or even flaky if you’re not careful. But don’t worry—transitioning into fall doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your glow.
Here’s how to keep your skin hydrated, balanced, and beautiful this season.
1. Hydration Is Everything
As the air gets crisper, your skin’s moisture levels drop. Fall is the perfect time to bring back rich, nourishing moisturizers or add in a hydrating serum. Look for powerhouse ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides to deeply replenish and lock in hydration. Here are some of our favourites:
For an all-around boost: Skinbetter Hydration Boosting Cream
For acne-reactive or sensitive skin: Hydrinity HA Restorative Serum
For healthy aging, dryness, or dehydration: Hydrinity HA Renewing Serum
2. Exfoliation is key
Summer often leaves behind buildup from sweat and environmental stressors. This can make your skin look uneven or congested. Fall is the time to gently sweep away that buildup and reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath. Opt for gentle exfoliation 1–2 times per week with enzymes or mild acids—skip the harsh scrubs that can damage your barrier. We love a blend of retinol and acid blends, and for those with blackheads or mild congestion, try a gentle surface exfoliation. Our go-tos:
Skinbetter AlphaRet Clearing Serum (retinol + acid blend, 2–4x per week)
Epicutis Enzyme Powder or Skinbetter Detoxifying Scrub Mask (gentle surface exfoliation, 1–2x per)
3. Repair and Strengthen Your Barrier
Your skin barrier is your first line of defence, and fall is the season to protect it. Ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, and squalane help strengthen, calm, and restore balance. If you’re experiencing redness or sensitivity, it could be a sign your barrier needs extra love. If you’ve been noticing more redness or sensitivity, it could be your skin crying out for barrier support. Let’s lock everything in, try our favs:
4. Don’t Skip the SPF
Just because the days are shorter doesn’t mean sun protection takes a back seat. UVA rays—the ones that speed up aging—are present year-round, even on cloudy days. Protect your skin daily with a broad-spectrum SPF. Your future self will thank you. Say it with us, SPF 365 days of the year! We have lots of options for SPF.
5. Fall Is Skin Revision Season
Here’s the truth: fall is the best time to focus on skin revision. With less sun exposure, your skin is primed for treatments that target deeper concerns like sun damage, fine lines, pigmentation, or texture changes. In-spa treatments we love for fall repair:
Microneedling (DP4 or Exceed): Boosts collagen and helps repair summer damage
Clear + Brilliant: Improves tone and texture while stimulating renewal
CO₂ Resurfacing: Addresses deeper damage, texture, and fine lines for a reset
These can help repair sun damage, boost collagen, and prep your skin for the colder months ahead. Not all skin is created equally, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Book a skin consultation and let us guide you.
