    5 tips to boost your skincare routine for autumn

    Many people mistakenly believe they may skip sunscreen during the autumn. UV rays are still present, though, so it's still important to protect your skin from sunburn.

    Digital Desk: It's time to transition your skincare routine from summer to autumn as the temperatures drop and the leaves start to change. Your skincare routine must be adjusted in accordance with the changing weather because it can have a big impact on your skin's health and appearance. Here are five essential recommendations to alter your skincare regimen for the autumn:

    Hydration is important:

    Lower humidity levels are frequently associated with cooler weather, which can result in dry and dehydrated skin. Change to a thicker moisturiser that offers more hydration to combat this. For your skin's barrier to be strengthened and moisture to be locked in, look for components like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. Applying a moisturizer both morning and night will help keep your skin supple and smooth.

    Gently exfoliate:

    As the summer tan fades, your skin may become dull and rough.  For a brighter complexion and to eliminate dead skin cells, add a light exfoliation step to your routine. Choose chemical exfoliants like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to avoid over-scrubbing, which can lead to sensitivity.





    Don't Forget Sunscreen: 

    Many people mistakenly believe they may skip sunscreen during the autumn. UV rays are still present, though, so it's still important to protect your skin from sunburn. No matter the weather, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 every morning. Don't let your guard down because exposure to UV may speed up the ageing process and raise your risk of developing skin cancer.

    Change to a Richer Cleanser: 

    In the drier autumn weather, you might think about switching to a cream- or oil-based cleanser to prevent stripping your skin of its important oils. These cleansers are more moisturising and gentler on the protective layer of your skin. Maintaining your face's moisture balance by gently cleansing it will help.

    Serums and antioxidants can be added:
     
    The autumn is the best season to start using antioxidant-rich serums. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can shield your skin from free radical damage brought on by the environment's pollutants and ultraviolet rays. A serum can improve your skin's defense mechanisms when you use it in the morning.
