Why Your Skin Changes in Fall
As the temperature drops and indoor heating kicks in, the air becomes drier. This leads to increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), which can leave skin feeling tight, flaky, and more reactive. For those with sensitive or melanin-rich skin, the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) also rises when the barrier is compromised.
5 Key Switches for Your Fall Routine
- Switch to a richer moisturizer: Look for ceramides, niacinamide, and squalane to reinforce the skin barrier. Avoid heavy fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin.
- Add a humectant serum: Layer a vitamin C or hyaluronic acid serum before your moisturizer to boost hydration and brighten uneven tone.
- Don't stop SPF: UVB rays may be weaker, but UVA rays (which cause aging and hyperpigmentation) remain constant year-round. Use a lightweight SPF 30 that leaves no pale cast — perfect for deep skin tones.
- Consider a spot corrector: Fall is a great time to treat existing dark spots without the summer sun triggering new ones. Use a gentle, fragrance-free formula.
- Incorporate an eye cream: The delicate eye area is prone to dryness and fine lines. A nourishing, paraben-free eye cream can help maintain elasticity.
