The shift from summer to autumn is beautiful—crisp air, colourful leaves, cosy jumpers—but while we welcome the change, our skin often struggles to adjust. Lower temperatures, wind, and reduced humidity can have a significant impact on skin health, leaving it feeling dry, sensitive, and dull.
The good news? With the right skincare habits at home and professional treatments designed for this season, you can keep your complexion glowing and protected all through autumn.
How Autumn Weather Affects the Skin
Dryness & Dehydration. In summer, humidity levels naturally keep skin more hydrated. As the air becomes cooler and drier in autumn, moisture evaporates more easily from the skin, leading to dehydration, tightness, and flakiness.
Barrier WeaknessHarsh winds and colder temperatures can disrupt the skin’s protective barrier, making it more prone to irritation, redness, and sensitivity.
Dull, Lacklustre Complexion: the skin is dehydrated, dead skin cells accumulate more quickly, giving the face a tired, uneven appearance.
Lingering Sun DamageAfter summer, many people notice sunspots, pigmentation, or rough texture from UV exposure. Autumn is the perfect time to start repairing and rejuvenating.
At-Home Skincare Tips for Autumn
Just a few thoughtful tweaks to your routine can keep your skin nourished and resilient this season:
Upgrade Your Moisturiser: Swap lightweight summer gels for richer creams containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, shea butter, or natural oils. These ingredients lock in moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.
Don’t Ditch the SPF. Even in autumn, UV rays are present. Daily sunscreen protects against premature ageing, pigmentation, and damage.
Hydrating Boosters a serum with snail mucin, niacinamide, or peptides to deeply hydrate and repair. Snail mucin, in particular, helps skin heal and stay plump.
Gentle Cleansing Switch to cream or milk-based cleansers. Avoid harsh foams that strip the skin’s natural oils.
Weekly Exfoliation a mild exfoliator once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and improve absorption of hydrating products.
Humidify Your Space. Heating dries out the air indoors; a humidifier can help maintain skin-friendly moisture levels.

Why Autumn Is the Best Time for Skin Treatments
Autumn is the perfect in-between season for skincare:
The sun is less intense, so treatments that renew or resurface the skin (like microneedling) are safer.
Skin naturally needs more hydration and support, making hydrating facials especially effective.
Preparing your skin now ensures it’s strong, healthy, and radiant before winter arrives.
