Best autumn facial for Longmont

Get Radiant Autumn Skin

As the leaves change and temperatures drop, your skincare routine should shift away from your all-hands-on-deck Summer routine. Autumn is a season of weather shifts and unpredictability, so versatility is key. 

Step 1: Be gentle with the cleanser

The foundation of any effective skincare routine starts with a gentle cleanser. Opt for a cream or gel-based cleanser to remove impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated.

We offer a great hydrating cleanser from Savor Beauty that effectively removes dirt and makeup while nourishing the skin.

Step 2: Go for a big exfoliation

Autumn is the perfect time to incorporate a deep exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells from the harsh summer to reveal a fresh, radiant complexion underneath. Choose a chemical exfoliant with ingredients like lactic acid or salicylic acid to promote cell turnover without causing irritation.

Step 3: Keep hydrating

Introduce a nourishing moisturizer that contains ingredients like ceramides, shea butter, or hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and protect against environmental stressors and primes you for Winter. 

Step 4: Focus on targeted treatments

Address specific skin concerns like dark spots, fine lines, or uneven texture with targeted treatments. Serums containing vitamin C, retinol, or niacinamide can work wonders to rejuvenate your skin and give it a healthy glow.

Step 5: Don't forget sunscreen

Even in autumn, sun protection is non-negotiable. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Opt for a moisturizer with built-in sun protection for added convenience.

Step 6: Treat yourself to a weekly mask

Indulge in a weekly masking session to boost your skin's vitality. Opt for hydrating masks with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or soothing botanical extracts to replenish moisture levels and restore radiance.

Conclusion

When the weather changes, your routine should adjust. Start the season with good exfoliation, keep up your SPF (but you can back off to 30 or 40), and treat yourself with some of the beautiful seasonal ingredients like a pumpkin mask (see below)
