We all want our skin to be at its best all year round. For this we must adapt our skincare routine with weather changes. Autumn is approaching fast, with a combination of cold air and lower humidity comes dryness, flakiness, and redness of skin. Protecting and nourishing your skin during this season helps prevent damage and maintains a healthy glow. Here are a few handy tips and Stillman’s products that you can add to your Autumn skincare to get hydrated, radiant and beautiful skin.
Things to look out in Autumn for healthy skin
Don’t Skip the SPF
It’s a common misconception that SPF is only needed in summer. However, UVA and UVB rays can damage the skin year-round, even on cloudy autumn days. Regular application of sunscreen is necessary to prevent premature aging and pigmentation and wrinkles.
Look for a lightweight, non-greasy broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ that’s suitable for daily wear under makeup. Mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide is gentle and effective. Or use a moisturizer containing SPF 30+, a two-in-one product that combines hydration with SPF protection.
Add Stillmans Freckle cream to your nightly autumn skincare routine as it’s a fast absorbing and effective cream that will help you in reducing pigmentation and dark spots. It will also help to prevent new ones from being formed. SPF in daytime and freckle cream at night is the perfect solution for fall skin issues.
Switch to a Richer Moisturizer
As temperatures drop, the light, gel-based moisturizers from summer may not provide enough hydration. The best face moisturizer for autumn should be rich nourishing cream or lotion that forms a barrier against the colder air and helps to lock in moisture. You can use the following Stillmans lotions in your skincare routine to get hydrated, glowing skin:
- Milk & Honey lotion: This lotion combines the benefits of honey and milk to give your skin the extra hydration it requires in Autumn. Honey attracts moisture and milk fats provide long-lasting hydration. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that soothe irritation, prevent breakouts, and improve skin brightness through gentle exfoliation. Antioxidants also help keep skin youthful and firm, making it ideal for the drying effects of autumn.
- Aloe Vera Intense Moisturizing Lotion: It offers deep hydration with the natural soothing power of the aloe vera, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin. Aloe vera helps retain moisture while calming redness and irritation, making this lotion perfect for daily use, especially in cooler, drying weather like Autumn. Its lightweight formula absorbs quickly, leaving skin soft, refreshed, and protected without a greasy residue, making it suitable for both face and body care.
These products provide complete hydration for both face and body, making it easy to achieve full skin moisture with a single product.
Add Vitamin C Serum
Consider the introduction of a serum to wear under your lotion. This is an extraordinary time of year to add a serum to your daily skin care schedule, especially one which contains vitamin C. A decent vitamin C serum, worn under your lotion, will help from multiple points of view. It will aid hydration, collagen creation and wrinkles, battling free radicals and enhancing the general tone and surface of the skin. With daily use, the skin is protected, smooth and plump.
Keep Lips Hydrated
The chilly, dry air of autumn can cause flaky, chapped lips. To protect your lips and seal in moisture, use a hydrating balm with natural oils instead of gloss or lipstick, which can feel like drying. The ideal choice would be to use Petroleum Jelly as it locks the moisture in and can also be used as lip therapy at night.
Stillmans offers four variants of Petroleum jelly from which you can use the one that fits you best. If you like your products with fragrance, then Blossom Petroleum Jelly is the best option for you as it will deeply moisturize and plump your lips while giving subtle flowery fragrance.
Key Autumn Skincare Tips
- Exfoliate Weekly: Skin cells don't shed as fast in the cooler autumn temperatures, which can result in buildup and give your skin a lifeless appearance. By removing dead skin cells, exfoliating once or twice a week makes your skin smoother and improves the way your other skincare products absorb into it. For exfoliation you can use a gentle Physical Scrubs or AHA-based exfoliants like glycolic or lactic acid.
- Continue Sun protection: Even if the sun may not be as strong, UV radiation can still harm skin. Incorporate sun protection into your daily routine to prevent damage to your skin.
Conclusion
Now is the time to modify your skincare routine to handle autumn's specific demands. By using richer moisturizers, protective SPFs, and reparative products, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and radiant. Find the products and routine that work best for you to have glowing skin all season.
