As the leaves turn and temperatures drop, your skin faces new challenges: dry air, cooler winds, and fluctuating humidity. Transitioning your skincare routine is key to maintaining a healthy, radiant glow.
After months of summer heat, sun exposure, and humidity, fall introduces cooler temperatures, drier air, and unpredictable winds — all of which can leave your skin feeling tight, dull, or dehydrated.
That’s why transitioning your skincare routine is essential. Your skin barrier, the natural shield that locks in hydration and protects against environmental stressors, needs extra care during this time of year. By making a few mindful adjustments, you can maintain a radiant, healthy glow all season long.
In this article, we’ll share 6 simple and effective fall skincare tips designed for the Canadian climate. From choosing a gentle, nourishing cleanser to layering botanical-rich moisturizers and protecting your skin with antioxidants, these tips will help you move gracefully from summer routines to autumn rituals.
Keep reading to discover how to prepare your skin for fall — and glow beautifully all season long.
1. Switch to a Gentle Cleanser
Summer sweat and sunscreen call for deep cleansing, but as the air gets drier, opt for a hydrating, gentle cleanser (like an oil or cream-based formula) that won’t strip your skin’s natural barrier.
2. Layer on Nourishing Moisture
Fall air = less humidity. Upgrade your moisturizer to something a bit richer, with botanical oils, ceramides, or squalane to lock in hydration and protect your skin barrier.
3. Don’t Ditch the SPF
Even with cooler weather and less sun, UV rays are still strong. Keep wearing your broad-spectrum sunscreen daily — it’s the #1 glow-preserver.
4. Add Antioxidants & Botanicals
Support your skin against environmental stressors (wind, pollution, temperature shifts) with antioxidant-rich serums (vitamin C, pomegranate, sea buckthorn, etc.) to keep skin bright and resilient.
5. Exfoliate, but Gently
Cooler weather slows skin turnover. A gentle exfoliation (1 to 2 times a week) will brighten dullness and help serums and moisturizers absorb better.
6. Hydrate from within
Drink water, herbal teas, and eat seasonal produce rich in omegas and antioxidants like pumpkin, squash, and berries.
Taking care of your skin in the fall is about more than just hydration — it’s about creating a ritual of protection, nourishment, and mindfulness. By switching to gentler cleansers, layering in nutrient-rich botanicals, keeping SPF in your routine, and practicing gentle exfoliation, you’re not only preventing seasonal dryness but also building habits that keep your skin radiant and resilient all year long.
