Welcome to autumn!
Autumn is a time of seasonal change and transition. You may notice that your skin also changes with the switching of seasons. It can start to feel tight, dehydrated, tired and dull. This is the time to re-evaluate your skin care needs and your routine to help repair any summer damage and prepare your skin for winter.
rehydrate the skin
Summer's warm, hot and humid weather, as well as air conditioning can sap the moisture from the skin leaving skin feeling dehydrated and dry. Adding serums and hydrating mists to your routine will help to combat any dehydration and prep your skin for autumn and winter’s onslaught.
top product choices:
Dermalogica’sAGE smart Overnight Repair Serum to nourish, repair and hydrate skin cells.

Asap’s Super B Complex will help to add hydration whilst also targeting collagen production and helping to reduce pigmentation.
Inika’s Phyto-Active Botanical Face Oil is a certified organic, rich hydrating serum to replenish all skin types.
exfoliate
Summer skin can start to look a little sun damaged, thickened and pigmented- a result of days in the sun and outdoors. Regular exfoliation will help to remove the build-up of dead skin cells and allow for treatment creams to penetrate and work more effectively.
top product choices:
Aspects new Illuminating Polish is a triple action exfoliant to remove dead skin cells, detoxify and illuminate the skin.
Thalgo’s Eveil A La Mer Resurfacing Cream used once or twice a week will refresh and gently resurface the skin for a smoother complexion.

Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant rice bran and enzyme based gentle exfoliator is always a customer favourite.
protect your lips
Start daily moisturising and gentle buffing for soft, supple lips this season.
top product choices:

adjust your moisturiser
As autumn air becomes drier, your skin may need a heavier moisturiser. Heavier creams provide a stronger oily barrier, which means they both reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin and provide hydration to this layer of skin at the same time.
top product choices:
Alpha-H Essential Hydration Cream with Rose Geranium. Nourishing and soothing.
Asap’s Ultimate Hydration with Evening Primrose Oil, Sweet Almond oil and Shea butter is a dry skins saviour.
Inika’s Certified Organic Macca Root Rich Day Cream. Enriched with plant oils and shea butter to nourish and protect during the colder weather.
Thalgo Nutri Soothing Cream replenishes skin lipids for 24 hours and helps to calm and soothe sensitivity.
For skins not wanting that extra thickness in a cream try adding a booster or light weight serum under your regular moisturiser during the colder months.
Add Dermalogica’s AGE smart Multivitamin Power Serum under your current moisturiser to add extra protection and hydration without increasing thickness.
Aspect Hydrating Serum is light but super hydrating under a moisturiser.
Payot’s Hydra24+ Essence is a super light water essence packed with Hyaluronic Acid to quench thirsty dehydrated skins. Used under your normal moisturiser.
nourish your eyes
The eyes can be one of the first places we notice fine lines, dehydration and dryness after a season of sun. The sun and wind particularly can affect the delicate skin around the eye. Switch to a creamier or vitamin packed eye cream at night to really repair and re-hydrate the skin.
top product choices:
Dermalogica’s new AGE smart Biolumin-C Eye Serum is packed with Vitamin C to exfoliate, hydrate and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

don’t forget your body
