Summer is winding down, and as of September 22, fall officially begins. Beyond pulling out your favorite boots and scarves (and indulging in pumpkin-flavored everything), the shift in seasons also means it’s time to adjust your fall skincare routine.
Cooler, drier autumn days can leave skin feeling dull and dehydrated—but with a few simple fall skincare tips, you can stay glowing well into the holiday season.
1. Exfoliate Regularly
Think of autumn leaves falling—it’s nature’s way of shedding what’s no longer needed. Your skin does the same! Every 28 days, new skin cells make their way to the surface, ready to replace dull ones. Exfoliating speeds up this process, keeping skin fresh and radiant.
At Home: Try a gentle exfoliating cleanser. Harsh scrubs with beads can scratch and irritate, so opt for something soothing yet effective. A favorite: Barris Exfoliating Scrub—formulated with bamboo, jojoba, chamomile, cucumber, allantoin, and aloe vera for gentle but powerful exfoliation, even on sensitive skin.
2. Moisturize (and Don’t Ditch Your SPF)
As temperatures drop, your skin craves more hydration. Fall is the perfect time to switch to richer moisturizers, hydrating cleansers, and nourishing masks. Prepping now ensures your skin adjusts before winter’s harsher months.
But don’t forget—sun protection is still essential. UV rays are present year-round and can cause premature aging, sun spots, and damage—even on cool, cloudy days.
Our go-to: Barris Moisturizing Day Cream with SPF, packed with botanicals to hydrate, soothe, and protect even sensitive or redness-prone skin.
Fall SPF tips:
- Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
- Protect delicate areas like your face, lips, and hands
- Wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat outdoors
- Limit prolonged sun exposure, even when it feels cooler
3. Book a Seasonal Skincare Treatment
No fall skincare routine is complete without professional treatments. Whether it’s a hydrating facial, a brightening peel, or a rejuvenating laser session, our skincare experts can recommend the perfect plan to keep your skin radiant, hydrated, and healthy all season.
- Professional Facials & Peels: Combine exfoliation with deep hydration and nourishment.
- Microdermabrasion: Removes dead skin cells and reveals a smoother, brighter complexion.
The Bottom Line
Transitioning into fall doesn’t require an overcomplicated routine. With just three steps—exfoliate, moisturize, and protect—you’ll be ready for crisp autumn days and glowing skin all season long.
