As autumn arrives, we are exposed to harsh winds, lower humidity, and cooler temperatures. This dramatic shift often disrupts the skin’s moisture balance, a key characteristic of healthy skin, leading to a dull appearance and a sensation of dryness. If not properly addressed, this moisture loss can result in inflammation and flaking.

To protect your skin from these challenges, it’s essential to adjust your care routine to suit the new conditions. Let’s explore how to do that.

 

Exfoliation: An Essential Part of Your Autumn Skin Care Routine

 

The colder season is the perfect time to exfoliate your skin. This time of year can lead to the accumulation of dead skin cells and other irregularities that affect both appearance and health of skin. Deep cleansing and exfoliation with skin scrub products can effectively restore your skin's glow by removing dead skin cells and revealing a fresh, renewed surface underneath. We recommend our acid-based toners for effective removal of dead skin cells.

 

 

A Proper Approach to Skin Care Through Cleansing

 

Cleansing the skin is an essential part of any care ritual. It helps remove oil, pollutants, and other unwanted residues that can clog pores, making it the first step in any skin care routine, whether in the fall or throughout the year.

 

Switching to a natural and nourishing cleanser—possibly an oil-based one, depending on your skin's dryness—is an excellent way to ensure your skin remains balanced and healthy. This approach helps prevent moisture loss, keeping your skin fresh and clean during the colder months. For these reasons, micellar water holds a special place in the SOFI product line, gently yet thoroughly cleansing your skin while maintaining its balance.

 

Hydration:
Your Skin's Best Friend in Autumn

 

Keeping the skin hydrated is essential for protecting it from external stressors and damage.

 

This becomes especially important during colder days when your skin is exposed to harsh weather conditions, the effects of climate change, and increased pollution, all of which can lead to various forms of skin irritation. To maintain optimal moisture and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, we recommend products rich in nourishing ingredients—such as a rich cream infused with almond oil and aloe vera, along with a nourishing mask used 1-2 times a week.

 

 

Facial Oil:
The Key to Lasting Hydration

 

If you haven't incorporated oils into your skin care routine yet, now is the time to reconsider. Facial oil is the final step in your nighttime routine, delivering nourishing moisture to your skin. Additionally, it helps lock in the hydration from the other products you've already applied. Our facial oils are carefully formulated to promote essential skin balance and ensure long-lasting hydration, especially squalane face oil, a highly effective moisturizing emollient that leaves the skin feeling soft and silky after application.

 

Don’t forget Your Lips!

 

Our natural wax and oil lip balms protect against chapping and help repair already damaged skin. Always carry a lip balm with you to effectively shield this sensitive facial area from the autumn wind and increasingly cold air.
