4 Autumn Skincare Tips to Nourish Dry Sensitive Skin

4 Autumn Skincare Tips to Nourish Dry Sensitive Skin

A drop in humidity usually marks the arrival of autumn, and that’s when you start noticing water loss and dehydration in your epidermis. Dryness can lead to itching, redness and other signs of irritation.

This is why calming care and moisturization should be your skincare focus this autumn.

Autumn Skincare Tip #1. Gentle Cleansing

The (slightly) cooler temperatures and lower humidity often means less oily skin, so you can put away your strong summer cleansers to avoid over-cleansing and stripping your skin of essential oils, as this can damage your skin’s natural protective barrier. Amino acid cleansers are a good call when it comes to gentle cleansers – lather the cleanser into a rich foam in your hands before applying it on your face to reduce friction and minimize damage.

Gentle Cleanser Recommendation: BIODANCE Hydro Ceramide Cleansing Powder

Imbued with purely plant-derived Vegan Milk Complex to leave skin soft and moisturized, as if after skincare.

Gentle Cleanser Recommendation: Ginger6 Hydrating Ginger Water Foam Cleanser

What is ginger water? Compared to regular purified water commonly used in cosmetics, ginger water has extra anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. This vegan cleanser contains 31.7% patented ginger water as well as 8 kinds of natural extracts and 5 types of hyaluronic acid to cleanse and hydrate all at once. It also soothes irritation and improves sensitive skin.

Autumn Skincare Tip #2. Amp Up Your Moisturizers

Our skin may find refreshing summer moisturizers lacking in the dry autumn weather, so it’s time to change up your skincare collection for something more hydrating just as you swap T-shirts for hoodies.
