Autumn Skincare Routine: What to change when the weather gets colder

As the temperature drops and the air becomes drier, your skin feels it first. Autumn brings beautiful colors, but also new challenges that call for a different approach to skincare. If your skin suddenly feels tight, flaky, or dull, it’s a clear sign your routine needs a seasonal refresh.

Here’s how to transition your skincare for the colder months and keep your skin soft, hydrated, and glowing all season long. 

Why your skin needs a routine change in autumn

During autumn, the air becomes cooler and drier, and indoor heating can strip even more moisture from your skin. The result? Dryness, tightness, and occasional irritation.
Skin that felt balanced in summer now needs extra care, hydration, and protection to maintain its barrier function.

1. Gentle cleansing

Put away harsh cleansers that strip away natural oils your skin needs for protection. Instead, go for mild formulas that clean without drying.

SOFT TOUCH cleansing foam, enriched with fermented rice water, cica extract, and aloe vera, removes impurities while keeping the skin balanced and calm. Perfect for autumn days when skin craves gentle care.

2. Boost your hydration game

Dry autumn air draws moisture out of your skin, which means hydration is everything.
Add a hyaluronic acid serum with 3 molecular weights like our HYA BOOSTER, to deeply hydrate and plump the skin from within.

Then, lock in the moisture with a richer cream. HYDRA RECOVERY moisturizing cream, powered by a natural sugars complex, ceramides, and ectoin, helps strengthen the skin barrier while keeping it soft and supple.

3. Add an oil layer for extra protection

Cold air and wind can weaken the skin’s lipid layer, leading to dullness and dehydration.
A lightweight facial oil acts as a shield that seals in hydration and enhances elasticity.

ABQ face oil, formulated with bakuchiol, CoQ10, and acmella extract, supports skin regeneration and gives a smooth, velvety finish - without the greasy feel.

4. Focus on barrier repair

If your skin feels more sensitive than usual, your barrier might be compromised.
It’s time to introduce richer textures with ingredients like shea butter, oat ceramides, and panthenol.

BARRIER REPAIR nourishing butter helps restore and protect the skin barrier, leaving it soft, soothed, and resilient through colder days.

Extra tips for healthy autumn skin

Don’t skip SPF – UV rays are still active, even when it’s cloudy.
Stay hydrated – internal hydration matters just as much as topical care.
Use a humidifier – it helps prevent moisture loss from the air indoors.

Small changes, big difference

Autumn doesn’t have to mean dry, irritated skin. With a few mindful swaps and the right skincare heroes, your routine can become a cozy seasonal ritual.
Listen to your skin, treat it with care, and enjoy the season of soft sweaters and golden light with a complexion that truly glows.
