What beauty routine should you adopt in Autumn?
As the Indian summer lingers longer and longer, autumn inevitably makes its appearance with cooler temperatures and increased humidity. For our skin, the transition between seasons can be difficult: the return from summer vacation and the shift to increasingly lower temperatures are just some of the factors that can weaken the skin. In autumn, it is especially important to adopt a routine that not only soothes the skin after sun exposure but also prepares it for the upcoming winter months.
A pioneer in natural cosmeceuticals, Cosmetics 27 develops expert skincare targeting skin regeneration. We are committed to guiding you step-by-step, helping you create a skincare routine that is perfectly suited to your needs.
At the dawn of autumn, we present all the essential steps for adopting a beauty routine that aligns with the challenges of this season and the needs of your skin.
The transition from summer to autumn: What does it mean for your skin?
Before preparing the skin for cooler temperatures, it is essential to focus on all the stresses the skin has endured during the summer. Higher atmospheric pressure, intense heat, increased humidity, and especially a much higher UV index are all elements that can take a toll on the skin throughout the summer. Additionally, holiday activities directly impact facial skin, such as exposure to pool chlorine or the saltwater of the ocean, which can be harsh on the skin, already stressed by the sun’s rays.
Throughout the summer, the skin can become dehydrated and also thickens to create a sort of protective shield against UV rays—this is called hyperkeratinization. While a tan may give the skin a beautiful glow, the negative effects of sun exposure soon take over: clogged pores, blemishes, redness, and even an increase in acne, often referred to as the "rebound effect." While sunscreen and high SPF are essential for protecting the skin during the summer, it’s crucial to intensify your skincare routine as soon as you return from vacation.
A gentle fall routine to purify and soothe the skin
Two simple actions can be applied even before the arrival of cooler autumn temperatures: purify and hydrate.
Because the pores are clogged from the effects of the sun, sebum cannot be properly eliminated, leading to the appearance of pimples. To limit this, your skin needs to be deeply and gently cleansed. To regulate sebum production, use the Pure 27 Cleanser morning and evening to purify and decongest the skin while maintaining the skin’s balance. Gradually, your skin will become mattified, radiant, and clear. If your skin is dry and sensitive, opt for Cleanser 27, a cleanser that is both hydrating and rejuvenating, restoring your skin’s vitality.
After cleansing, hydration and regeneration should be central to your autumn routine. Replenish your skin’s moisture with Essence 27, a fluid specifically designed to restore and preserve the skin's water reserves. This fluid also helps reduce the effects of inflammatory stress through the combined action of distilled lemon balm and lettuce waters.
For intensive repair, Baume 27 Advanced Formula is your ideal ally. While this balm is recommended for mature and pre-mature skin, its formula is perfectly suited to any skin in need of repair. Our tip? Nourish your skin deeply by mixing Baume 27 with a few drops of Huile 27!
To complete your autumn routine, incorporate a more intensive treatment in the evening. We recommend the Mask 27, a revitalizing bio-hydrating mask. Multifunctional, it detoxifies, revitalizes, and soothes the skin. After a night of application, your skin will feel refreshed, plumped, deeply hydrated, and fully rejuvenated—a true health boost for your skin after the summer months!
Take advantage of autumn to prepare your skin for winter
In autumn—and as winter approaches—the skin may begin to show signs of pigmentation. After summer, your skin will gradually lose its tan, leading to a less even complexion. This is when it’s important to purify and treat the skin deeply. Dark spots and pigmentation marks are typical signs of sun exposure, especially if you haven’t adequately protected your skin or if you’ve been exposed for long periods. To treat these pigment spots effectively, we’ve developed an integrative solution: Concentré 27 Vitamines C&B3. This serum combines vitamin C and niacinamide to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots, while Centella Asiatica extract stimulates cellular regeneration and reduces imperfections.
Once your complexion is evened out, it’s time to prepare your skin for winter! The end of autumn can often lead to dull and tired-looking skin, so it is essential to continue hydrating and regenerating your skin to ensure it is ready for colder temperatures. If you already use Baume 27, we recommend adjusting its application according to your skin’s needs. Feel free to alternate between applying the Baume 27 Advanced Formula as a night cream for intense repair and Baume 27 Crème Légère as a day cream. This will ensure that your skin receives all the nutrition it needs to stay protected as winter approaches.
