There’s something enchanting about fall that inspires cozy vibes, from baking in the kitchen to enjoying crisp walks in nature. As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to transition your skincare and makeup routines. Say goodbye to lightweight summer formulas and welcome richer, more nourishing fall favorites.
Embrace Hydrating Foundation
As the weather cools, it’s time to switch back to foundations that offer more coverage and hydration. A great option is Luminous Liquid Foundation SPF 18. It’s ideal for cooler temperatures because it effectively conceals dry skin while providing hydration. The buildable coverage isn’t too heavy, and the formula softens fine lines and imperfections, leaving you with a radiant complexion. Plus, it offers an added layer of sun protection, which is crucial year-round.
Incorporate a Facial Oil
To boost your moisturizer, consider adding a facial oil to your routine. While it might not be cold enough for heavy creams just yet, incorporating a face oil with your summer moisturizer is an excellent way to transition to richer formulas. Facial oils provide extra moisture and nourishing benefits as the air becomes drier. Mix the oil with your moisturizer in your palm before applying or layer the face oil on top of your moisturizer to lock in additional hydration. This simple addition can combat dryness and keep your skin glowing.
Reintroduce Active Ingredients
Fall is an ideal time to reintroduce active ingredients into your skincare routine, as sun exposure decreases. Ingredients like retinol and glycolic acid can cause sun sensitivity if not used correctly. While daily SPF is always recommended, the cooler months offer a perfect opportunity to focus on transforming your skin, especially if you’re addressing hyperpigmentation or other summer-related skin issues. Fall is also suitable for restarting at-home peels or professional treatments, allowing your skin ample time to heal indoors.
Experiment with Bold Lips
While Conditioning Lip Glosses are great for any season, fall is the perfect time to explore deeper, more intense lip colors. This is the season to bring out your berries, bricks, and reds, without worrying about melting or slippage. A few shades to consider are Satin Lipstick in Mulberry, Roaring 20s, Amaretto, and Napa, or Suede Matte Lip Crayons in Sahara, Port, and Crimson.
To achieve the perfect bold lip, gently exfoliate your lips and prime them with a bomb. Define your lips with Precision Lip Pencil in Natural or Acorn to prevent bleeding or smudging.
Treat Yourself with Overnight Masks
If you haven’t already, fall is an excellent time to incorporate masks into your skincare routine. Hydrating overnight masks are particularly beneficial, giving you a refreshed, radiant look by morning. Try applying a thin layer of Restorative Mask up to three times a week to boost hydration and provide antioxidants. This easy addition to your nighttime routine ensures you wake up with glowing, well-nourished skin.
Conclusion
Transitioning your skincare and makeup for fall involves embracing hydration, richer colors, and targeted treatments. By incorporating these five swaps—hydrating foundation, facial oils, active ingredients, bold lip colors, and overnight masks—you’ll ensure your skin stays radiant and healthy throughout the season.
