Switch now: Your skincare routine for autumn
After a sunny summer, our skin longs for regeneration and intensive care. The change to the cooler season means an adjustment for the skin – not only due to falling temperatures and dry heating air but also due to changed care needs. Now is the ideal time to specifically prepare the skin for autumn. With the right cleansing, peeling, and care routines, the transition succeeds effortlessly – for a radiant, healthy complexion.
Why the skin deserves special attention in autumn
During the summer months, the skin is heavily stressed by UV radiation, heat, sweat, and frequent sunbathing. In autumn, it recovers but is simultaneously exposed to new stresses: cooler temperatures, dry heating air, and less sunlight often lead to feelings of tightness, dryness, or even irritation. An adapted care routine helps to strengthen the skin's protective barrier and restore the natural moisture balance.
Step 1: Gentle cleansing – the key to well-cared-for skin
A thorough but gentle cleansing ritual forms the basis of every successful skincare routine. In autumn, a mild cleanser is recommended that cleanses the skin deeply without drying it out.
Our recommendation: Reach for a creamy cleansing gel or a cleansing milk with soothing ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Panthenol, or Chamomile. These effectively remove dirt, excess sebum, and makeup residues – while preserving the skin's natural protective film.
Step 2: Peeling – specifically stimulate cell renewal
After summer, dead skin cells can make the skin appear dull and uneven. Regular peeling promotes cell renewal, prevents impurities, and ensures a more even complexion. However, caution is advised in autumn: the skin is more sensitive and should not be additionally irritated.
Our recommendation: Use a gentle enzyme peeling or a chemical peeling with mildly dosed fruit acids (AHA or PHA) at most once or twice a week. These are particularly gentle on the skin and bring out new freshness – completely without mechanical abrasion.
Step 3: Care – moisture & lipids as autumn must-haves
As soon as temperatures drop, the skin needs more intensive care. Light summer fluids may now give way to richer creams that provide moisture and contain lipid substances to protect and strengthen the skin barrier.
Our recommendation: Rely on care products with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, or plant oils (e.g., jojoba, almond, or evening primrose oil). Soothing active ingredients like allantoin or bisabolol are also particularly beneficial now.
Bonus tip: Don’t forget lip and eye care
Especially the delicate skin around the eyes and lips reacts particularly sensitively to cold and dry air. Complement your autumn care with a nourishing eye cream and a caring lip balm to effectively prevent dryness wrinkles and chapped lips.
Conclusion: Radiant through autumn with the right care
The change of season is a perfect opportunity to rethink your skincare routine and adapt it to the skin’s new needs. With gentle cleansing, targeted peeling, and rich care, you lay the foundation for a healthy, radiant complexion – even in the cold season.
