Should I change my cleanser for the fall?
As the weather cools, your skin may benefit from switching to a gentler, more hydrating cleanser. During the summer, you might have used a foaming or gel cleanser to manage excess oil and sweat. However, these types of cleansers can be too harsh in the fall, stripping your skin of its natural oils. Opt for a cream-based or milky cleanser that can cleanse without over-drying, maintaining your skin’s natural moisture balance.
Pro Tip: Double cleansing your skin at night: Apply an oil based cleanser on dry skin then place a small amount of water to your face to emulsify the cleanser. Rinse and follow this with a water-based cleanser for extra clean skin.
Transitioning your skincare routine from summer to fall doesn’t have to be complicated. By understanding how seasonal changes affect your skin and adjusting your regimen accordingly, you can keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing. If you’re unsure about what changes to make or have specific skin concerns, consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon can provide personalized guidance tailored to your skin’s needs.
