Autumn has officially arrived which means one thing: it’s time to shake up your skin care ritual. Think of it like your wardrobe, you mix out a couple of pieces to fit with the ever-changing temperature (hello jumper season), so why wouldn’t you reward your complexion with the same treatment? Now, we’re by no means saying switch out everything you own, but during the colder months, skin tends to lose moisture and oil, so you need to build these back into your daily routine (we’re especially talking to you, sensitive skin!). Spoiler alert: say hello to hydrating heroes that are the perfect introduction to winter-proofing your regime…
CLEANSERS
Bid a fond farewell to foaming formulas and treat yourself to something super soothing and balmy. As the mercury drops, your complexion needs extra nourishment, so start your routine as you mean to go on – sealing precious moisture in, so skin stays supple and protected from the elements. A multi-purpose cleanser, ELEMIS’ Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is a 3-in-1 transformative formula that starts as a nourishing balm, before melting away impurities as an oil and hydrating as a cleansing milk. Not only does it absorb into skin quicker than you can say “hydration”, but it brings the spa to your home with its heavenly, tranquil scent of lavender, chamomile and eucalyptus. Or why not try Then I Met You’s Living Cleansing Balm? It’s a fan-favourite in our Cult Conscious edit, as it effortlessly melts away make up, sunscreen and excess sebum while feeding skin with essential antioxidants and fatty acids.
