Change of season: prepare your skin for fall

Fall is a beautiful season, marked by falling leaves, warm colors, and the first signs of freshness in the air. But this season also brings its share of changes, including impacts on your skin like dehydration , a dull complexion , and seasonal acne . Temperatures drop, humidity increases, and UV rays still affect the epidermis during the fall. All of this can have a detrimental effect on your skin. So, it's essential to adapt a skincare routine to support your skin through the fall. Nubiance recommends the anti-aging duo for enhanced hydration.

The effects of the transition to autumn on the skin

To begin with, the skin has not necessarily yet recovered from the feeling of dehydration of the summer that it must already face the first cool weather of the season, the decrease in sunshine and its risks of dehydration. In addition, it has thickened during the summer. It has accumulated skin layers to form a sort of shield against UV rays . If at first, your skin seemed prettier, it will quickly suffer other consequences: clogged pores, less smooth texture and imperfections. Finally, with the approach of winter, the cold, the lack of light, the wind, the indoor heating, the skin will have to show itself strong. It is therefore necessary to prepare it by strengthening the natural protective barrier that it has on its surface: the famous hydrolipidic film .

Specific needs of the skin during the change of seasons

Throughout the year, the condition of the skin varies according to the changes of seasons , and this, for the four seasons. Spring and autumn are also the most fateful for the body. During these intermediate seasons, when the temperature variations are not clear, the epidermis must make a greater effort to adapt to regulate body temperature and avoid the appearance of skin irregularities. The summer and winter solstices also contribute to the seasonality phenomenon for the appearance of the skin. As winter approaches, blood circulation is slowed, the cold contracts the small vessels that nourish the skin and this leads to a reduction in the necessary supply of nutrients. In addition, the sebaceous glands, responsible for ensuring the proper hydration of the skin and preserving its protective hydrolipidic film, no longer secrete enough sebum. The skin therefore dries out more quickly. To avoid sensitizing the skin and suffering discomfort, dryness or itching , it is important to take care of it from the beginning of autumn by providing it with adequate care.

Adapting your skincare routine for the transition to fall

To combat dehydration and the feelings of discomfort of this new autumn season , your skin needs to be well hydrated, nourished and repaired with specific treatments capable of facilitating cell renewal and strengthening the skin barrier.

Key ingredients for taking care of your skin in autumn

Hyaluronic acid

The main benefits of hyaluronic acid for the skin are:

• Keeping skin hydrated

• Improved skin suppleness

• Reduction of the appearance of wrinkles

• Helps with healing

It is therefore the ideal active ingredient to take care of your body and skin in autumn. In addition, this ingredient is the best ally for all skin types and in all seasons.

Ceramides

Ceramides are a family of lipid compounds of the intercellular cement. They represent 40% of the lipids in the stratum corneum. Ceramides ensure good cohesion of keratinocytes and play the role of a lipid barrier protecting against dehydration, while ensuring optimal lubrication of the upper layers of the epidermis and the hair cuticle. They participate in the hydrolipidic film that protects against skin dehydration . This is essential to cope with the change of season, especially after the heat and rebound effect of summer .

Antioxidants

Why is fall the perfect time to incorporate antioxidants into your routine? Because the change in season can disrupt your skin’s balance. City life, pollution, lower temperatures… can make your skin more vulnerable to external aggressions . Antioxidants act as a shield, fortifying your skin from the inside out so it stays radiant on the outside.

Practical tips for a smooth transition from the date of the change of season

Here are some tips to help prepare and support your skin's transition from late summer to fall:

• Food: to have a luminous complexion throughout the fall, stock up on vitamins, especially vitamin C. Kiwis, parsley, red fruits and peppers should be consumed without moderation. Also give pride of place on your plates to seasonal fruits and vegetables: parsnips, beets, carrots, leeks, squash, etc.

• Hydration: essential all year round, to keep your skin healthy, radiant and plump, keeping yourself well hydrated during the transition to autumn is essential for your skin.

• Sun protection: to keep your skin healthy all year round , it is essential to use a suitable UV index on a daily basis. In autumn and winter, the sun is just as intense and capable of burning your skin as in the middle of summer.

• Sleep: Don't skimp on the benefits of a good night's sleep for your quality of life in this transition of seasons and rhythms.

The autumn equinox has arrived and external disturbances and stress will intensify after the excesses of the summer period. Several factors will affect your skin. Whether you live in the northern or southern hemisphere, whatever the region, the dates of the seasons are important in your calendars. So, pay attention to the weather and your calendar to adapt your beauty routine!
