Transitioning to an Autumn Skincare Routine: How to Keep Your Skin Hydrated
As the leaves change and the temperatures drop, it's time to adjust your skincare routine to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Cooler weather means less humidity, which can lead to dry, flaky skin. It's essential to adapt your skincare products and focus on hydration to maintain a glowing complexion.
The Importance of Hydration for Autumn Skincare
The key to maintaining healthy skin in the colder months is prioritising hydration. The combination of lower temperatures, brisk winds, and reduced moisture in the air can dry out your skin, making it more prone to irritation. A well-hydrated skin barrier protects you from environmental elements and retains moisture.
Recommended Products for Autumn Hydration
If you're serious about hydration, consider adding products from the Lamelle Serra range to your skincare regimen. These products are designed to mimic the natural lipid bi-layer, which is crucial for a healthy epidermis. Start with the basics:
- Lamelle Serra Cleansing Gel for gentle cleansing.
- Lamelle Serra Restore Cream for daytime moisture.
- Lamelle Serra Soothing Cream for nighttime nourishment.
If your skin needs extra hydration, the Lamelle Serra Lipid Recovery Mask can be a great addition. For those on a budget, the Lamelle Serra NSB Cream serves as a versatile day and night cream.
Add Hyaluronic Acid to Your Routine
Hyaluronic acid is a must-have for any skincare routine, especially during the colder months. The Neostrata Skin Active Hyaluronic Luminous Lift is a gel cream moisturiser that provides intense plumping and smoothing hydration. It contains three sizes of hyaluronic acid molecules to penetrate different layers of the skin, along with NeoGlucosamine to gently exfoliate and brighten the skin.
Treating Very Dry, Sensitive Skin
If you have extremely dry or sensitive skin, the SkinCeuticals Epidermal Repair is a gentle yet effective moisturiser. Its key ingredient, Dimethicone, helps restore the skin's natural barrier function, while Beta Glucan and Nymphaea Alba Flower extract work together to renew and soothe the skin. This product is ideal for post-treatment care after laser, peels, or Dermapen sessions.
Winter Treatments for Skin Resurfacing and Rejuvenation
Winter is also a great time to schedule treatments that require downtime and minimal sun exposure. The Endymed FSR (Fractional Ablative Radiofrequency) treatment offers skin resurfacing, textural improvements, pore reduction, and wrinkle treatment. This 60-minute procedure combines 3DEEP™ Volumetric Heating and Fractional Ablation, providing excellent results with minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. You may need 2 to 4 sessions for optimal outcomes, with 2 to 5 days of recovery.
