How to Transition Your Skincare Routine from Summer to Fall
As the seasons change, it's essential to adapt your skincare routine just as you would your wardrobe. The transition from summer to fall often requires more hydration, especially after months of exposure to the sun and heat, which can lead to skin issues like hyperpigmentation and dryness. Follow these expert tips to effectively adjust your skincare regimen for the fall season.
1. Cleansing
Start your fall skincare routine with the right cleanser. If you're currently using a gel cleanser to control oil, consider switching to Lait S.R., a milky cleanser that provides gentle, effective cleansing without stripping your skin. If you’ve been using Lait S.R. and notice that your skin isn’t oily anymore, you can transition to Lait VIP O2 or Lait Dermo-S for a lighter touch. For those experiencing dryness, Lait EV is an excellent choice to keep your skin hydrated and fresh.
2. Hydrating Serums
Fall is the perfect time to incorporate a hydrating serum into your skincare routine to combat seasonal dryness:
- For Slightly Dehydrated Skin: Try Extraits Tissulaires.
- For Moderately Dehydrated Skin: Opt for Amniotique VG.
- For Extremely Dehydrated Skin: Consider Colostrum VG, Hydra-Cool Serum from iS Clinical, as well as the Bio-Identical Rehydrating Serum from Nescens for an additional moisture boost.
3. At-Home Treatments for Hyperpigmentation
This season is ideal for focusing on anti-aging and hyperpigmentation treatments that you can do at home:
- Retinol: Incorporate AVST or a dynamic cocktail of C-Quence and Defence Creme by Environ. These products contain a powerful blend of Vitamin A and antioxidants. Consult your esthetician for guidance on the best level of AVST or C-Quence for your skin type.
- P50: While you should use P50 year-round, fall is a good time to switch to options like pigmentation-fighting P50 PIGM 400 or ultra-enriching P50 V as your skin adapts to the changing seasons. If you're experiencing both lack of vitality/tone and also overproduction of sebum or continued breakouts, P50V 1970 is a fabulous choice.
- Melaclear Advanced: To address pigmentation, this product is highly effective for both reversing and preventing hyperpigmentation, thanks to its tranexamic acid formulation.
4. Nourishing Masks
Combat winter dryness early by incorporating Masques Visolastine+ and VIP O2 into your routine. These nutrient-rich masks can be used to lock in moisture and nourish your skin.
Another excellent fall option is the Nescens Bio-Identical Restoring Mask, which can be applied 1-2 times per week as an overnight treatment. A great way to experience this product is by trying the multi-masking box available on our website.
5. Moisturizers
As fall arrives, it might possibly be time to switch from more lightweight moisturizers like Emulsion Originelle Régénérante or Hydravits to richer options like VG Derm. Other excellent fall/winter choices include Iso-Placenta for skin recovery, Grand Millésime for aging skin, and Dermo-RL for ultra-dry skin. When your skin craves maximum nourishment, turn to Crème Masque Vernix VG for a restorative boost.
