Autumn
Autumn skincare: a good time for something new.
The sun gets weaker, the holidays are over. Many people start an active now, because the step-up phase is done by winter.
What changes
- Start an active: one active per time of day, step up slowly. Skinpaired builds a step-up plan for it.
- A more even tone after summer: vitamin C in the morning or niacinamide work well, a retinoid in the evening.
- Moisturise: as it gets cooler and skin feels tight, move to a richer cream step by step.
- Protect: sunscreen stays, especially with retinoids and acids.
- Stock: check what was open all summer. Replace last year's sunscreen if it has expired.
