Seasonal Switch-Ups for Glowing Autumn Skin

Come and fall in love with these simple Autumn beauty swaps that will keep your skin looking its beautiful-best through the season changes.

Feel that? There's a slight chill in the air and chances are your skin feels a little dry after all that Summertime fun. We know that spray tans, swimming, air-conditioning and those sunset-sips can leave skin a little dehydrated, sun-damaged and rather devitalised, but nothing shines brighter than nourished skin to keep you glowing right through the cooler months.

As the sun sets on Summer, it's a good time to switch up your skincare and makeup to ensure healthy, vibrant and dewy skin year round. Come and fall in love with these simple Autumn beauty swaps that will keep your skin looking its beautiful-best through the season changes.

EXFOLIANT

That in-shower scrub has served you well to keep pores clear and skin smooth through Summer, but it may become too abrasive come Winter time. As the cooler months roll in your skin can feel more delicate or slightly sensitive thanks to the drying effects of wind and heaters. Invest in an enzyme based exfoliant without beads to get an equally polished finish as it gently sloughs away dead skin cells to let skin luminosity shine.

FACE OIL

Ahhhhh, sweet facial relief… It's time to bench that lightweight serum and get serious about skin replenishment. Kick dry, itchy and irritated skin to the curb with a few drops of a good quality face oil. Organic Rosehip oil, Vitamin E oil or a blend of antioxidant-rich oils can soothe and nourish skin back to optimal health. Either press neat into your skin or mix into your favourite moisturiser for a boost of nourishment with a side order of enviable skin glow.

SERUM

Autumn is a great time of year to repair and reset your skin and its just perfect to tackle those first signs of sun-damage. Go for a brightening serum to tackle unwanted pigmentation spots, a hyaluronic acid based serum to intensely replenish lost hydration or perhaps a Vitamin C serum to protect your skin against future damage.

MOISTURISE

Autumn is a great time of year to repair and reset your skin and its just perfect to tackle those first signs of sun-damage. Go for a Oil-free lotions work wonders in the heat to hydrate your skin without leaving it feeling greasy. But as the seasons change, you really need to quench your thirsty skin with a more intensive hydrator to revitalise and repair your skin through the cooler months. Try a moisturiser that feels a little more rich with a nice emollient base to deeply nourish, and one with added antioxidants is even better!

INNER BEAUTY

Achieve next level skin glow from the inside out and fend off cold weather sniffles with a good dose of antioxidants, superfoods and uber-healthy pre and probiotics. Switch out your first morning latte for a superfood smoothie with a good quality supplement for glowing skin. These power-packed supplements encourage optimal gut health to revive your skin and keep you feeling on top of your game.

FOUNDATION

As the leaves change colour, so should your foundation. Many women have two or more foundation colours to see them through the year as tans fade and a paler complexion emerges. Test foundations right down your cheek onto the neck (never your wrist or hand) as you search for a perfect shade that simply 'melts' into your current skin tone. But hang onto your 'Summer' shade as it will be a perfect skin match for when you get a mid-Winter faux tan.

LUMINIZER

Banish skin dullness and make your best features shine bright with a luminizer to accentate and highlight. You don't necessarily need to switch out your current fave blush as a luminizer makes the perfect addition to layer up for extra glow. Target the tops of cheekbones, brow bones and even the cupid's bow for healthy looking radiance that will beautifully mimic sultry Summer skin.
