Indie's Guide to Autumn Skincare
Hello Sunshines!
As we welcome September (aka Skin Care Awareness Month), we find ourselves on the cusp of a new season. The days grow shorter, the air turns crisp, and our skincare needs shift with it.
Take this time to listen to your skin, adjust your routine, and make space for fresh, effective products. And remember, skincare is not just about what you put on your skin, but also about the care and love you give yourself.
Preparing Your Skin for the Fall Transition
As temperatures drop and humidity levels decrease, our skin can start to feel the change. That summer glow might begin to fade, and you may notice your skin feeling a bit drier or tighter. Don't worry—this is completely normal! Fall is a time to nourish your skin with extra care, focusing on hydration and protection.
Start by reassessing your daily routine:
- Cleansing: Switch to a gentler, more hydrating formula that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. Our creamy CoQ-10 Cleanser is perfect for this transition, cleansing effectively without leaving your skin greasy.
- Moisturizing: Incorporate a richer moisturizer to keep your skin barrier strong and resilient against the elements. Our Brightening Cream provides a boost of antioxidants while locking in moisture, I like to add a drop of our Daily Vitamin Infusion which is packed with Ceramides.
- Sun Protection: Don't pack away that SPF! While the sun's intensity may wane, UVA rays—responsible for premature aging—are present year-round. Our Daily SPF Primer offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection while also serving as a smooth base for makeup, making it a perfect two-in-one product for your fall routine. We are currently out of stock as this product has been in such high demand but click here to sign up to be alerted when it is back in stock.
- Exfoliate: Fall is the perfect time to step up your skincare game. Consider incorporating our AHA Exfoliating Solution three or four times a week to gently exfoliate and brighten your complexion, addressing any post-summer skin concerns and preparing your skin for heavier fall moisturizers.
As we move through Skin Care Awareness Month, let's welcome the changes in our skin and the season. Fall is a time of renewal—just as the trees shed their leaves, we too can shed old habits and embrace new ones that support our overall health and well-being.
With love and wellness,
Indie
