Fall’s cooler temperatures and windy climates can throw our skin for a loop and leave our skin dry, irritated and flaky. With the change in season calls for a few change-ups in our beauty routine!
Below we’ve rounded up 5 habits board certified dermatologist, Dr. Marnie Nussbaum’s recommends incorporating into your daily rituals, for a smooth and soft transition into fall.
5 New Skin Care Habits for Fall
Switch Cleansers. Start with the basics – If you’ve been using a shine control cleanser (or skating by with a bar of soap), make the switch to a more hydrating, soap-free cleanser. Coconut oil-based cleansers like Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam are one of the most effective moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients, and act as antibacterial active ingredient that removes bacteria to prevent the formation of new pimples.

I love this Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam. It makes my skin feel so soft and helps to clear my skin of all oils, yet leaving it hydrated.
Don’t Stop Using Sunscreen. Don’t be fooled by lower temperatures. Cover exposed skin with sunscreen, just as you would in the summer. UV rays are just as strong when hitting the slopes or walking in the rain as they are on the beach. Applying sunscreen daily is the easiest way to prevent sun damage, protect your skin, and not to mention – look younger. Try using products that offer Broad-Spectrum (UVA and UVB) protection, and have a SPF of 30 or greater.
Move to a Heavier Night Cream. Recover and restore your skin after a long summer with a heavier night cream like Sebamed Anti-Dry Night Intensive Cream which works to protect, smooth, calm and regenerate the skin without clogging pores. The intensive and rich properties of this Night Cream stimulate the skin’s own renewal process overnight for fresher skin by morning. The pH value of 5.5 promotes the skin’s own acid protective barrier against dehydration and irritants. ($23.95, SebamedUSA.com)
I have been using Sebamed Anti-Dry Night Intensive Cream for a week now. I awake with beautifully plumped skin that just seems to glow.
Exfoliate Flaky Skin. In the summer, we don’t need to exfoliate often. As temperatures cool, practice exfoliating once a week to keep dry flaky skin from shedding around the nose and chin. Select a soft facial scrub (those made with rice bran are less rough) that also uses naturally hydrating ingredients like avocado, coconut or almond oils to avoid excessive dryness and irritation. Immediately following, moisturize with balancing night cream.
Maximize Moisture in the Shower. Our skin loses water to radiator heat and dry air all day long. Replenish and balance moisture content by using a hydrating body wash and lotion every time you shower, like Sebamed Anti-Dry Derma-Soft Wash Emulsion and Hydrating Body Lotion . To prevent dry, crackly, irritated skin, pat (don’t rub) skin dry after a hot shower and apply a moisturizer within 3 minutes to seal in hydration. (22.95 each, SebamedUSA.com)
I noticed after my first use that this cleanser is already making a difference in my skin. My skin feels so soft and supple. I love how it removes all of my makeup as well as my eye makeup without burning my eyes. I love how I can also use it to shave my legs!
My skin feels fresh and renewed and ready to take on the season’s changes!
