10 tips for beautiful, radiant skin after summer
As autumn days arrive, it is time to restore skin that has been thoroughly sun-kissed over the summer. Sunlight, dry or humid air, swimming in salt water and moving from the heat into air-conditioned spaces are just some of the summer factors that leave their mark on our skin – and not just on our faces.
If we prepare our skin for the challenging season ahead and help its cells regenerate, it will reward us with a beautiful, radiant appearance and a youthful glow.
An autumn reset helps restore the skin's balance. Your skin is crying out for plenty of vitamins and other nourishing and hydrating ingredients. Autumn weather is also a good time to address skin concerns such as pigmentation, acne and dryness.
By the way, these tips and advice are not just for women. Men experience skin ageing and skin concerns too.
Here are 10 autumn reset tips for radiant skin
1. Cleansing: Autumn is a good time to rid your skin of impurities that have clogged its pores after using water-resistant sunscreens or oils. Start with thorough cleansing to remove impurities, excess oil and dead skin cells. Our clear favourite and an essential part of every morning and evening routine is our Soapnuts Cleansing Gel.

2. Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation helps improve skin texture and supports cell renewal. Exfoliators suited to your skin type can help with this. Our range includes two exfoliators – a gentle enzyme exfoliator and a deep-cleansing, dual-action exfoliator. For blemish-prone skin with a tendency to acne, we recommend our 2-in-1 Cleansing Exfoliator and Mask, which loosens deeply embedded impurities and detoxifies the skin.

3. Face masks: Using masks regularly gives your skin intensive hydration and refreshes it. The right regenerating or hydrating face mask can also provide plenty of vitamins. Find the right one for you. A professional skincare range to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
4. Hydration: As the weather cools, the air can become drier, which can have a negative effect on your skin. Regular use of moisturisers or serums helps keep skin hydrated and soft. We recommend our popular Hydrating Serum – Collagen to quench thirsty skin. To lock moisture into your skin, apply the Bio-active Oil Serum as the final step in your morning routine.
5. Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps even out skin tone and improve radiance. Using products with vitamin C can be a great addition to your autumn skincare routine. Our top choice here is the Brightening Facial Essence with its high vitamin C content.
6. Antioxidants: Include products containing antioxidants in your beauty routine to help protect skin from free radicals and improve its overall appearance. Matcha is an excellent antioxidant, found in our new Antioxidant Matcha Booster. It repairs collagen fibres and improves the skin's natural defences thanks to prebiotics.
7. Autumn face creams: At this time of year, you should switch from the creams you used during summer. Your creams should now be richer, with more nourishing ingredients. Look for creams that leave your skin well hydrated and enriched with vitamins.
Choose from our wide range for every skin type.
8. Sun protection: Remember that sun protection is still important in autumn. Although the sun is not as strong as in summer, it can still damage your skin, especially if you go for longer walks, for example in the mountains. Keep up your sun protection routine and use a cream with a protection factor suited to your skin phototype.

9. Nutrition and hydration: Include foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals in your diet. These nutrients support healthy skin from within. Remember to drink enough water to maintain your skin's natural hydration.
10. Enough sleep: Good-quality sleep is key to healthy skin. Make sure you get enough rest and sleep so your skin can regenerate.
Remember that everyone's skin is unique, so it is important to find the ideal autumn routine for yours.
