With cooler days on their way, you might be wondering what that means for your skin care routine.
Fall is a good time to focus on repair and replenishment. We’re sharing our go-to products to help fade summer pigment and prepare the barrier for cooler weather, as well as in-clinic treatments to maximize your results.
Key ingredients: glycerin, vitamin B5, vitamin E and botanical extracts
Even if you don’t typically have dry or sensitive skin, a little extra hydration benefits us all during drier, colder seasons, and Gentle Rinse is the perfect way to begin your routine! Made with hydrating and soothing ingredients, this creamy cleanser effectively removes makeup, soothes irritation and cleans without stripping away your skin’s natural oils. (We love pairing it with Power Wash for a double cleanse, too!)
Key ingredients: glycolic acid 5%, lactic acid 5%, salicylic acid 2% and botanical extracts
If your skin feels particularly dull and dry, lean on Crystal Clear clarifying pads to help brighten skin while fighting breakouts and premature signs of aging. Lactic and glycolic acid will boost collagen production and smooth the skin, while salicylic acid regulates oil production and deeply cleanses your pores. Botanical extracts, like licorice and white mulberry, are natural skin brighteners that reduce inflammation and even skin tone, too.
Key ingredients: L-ascorbic acid, vitamin E, ferulic acid, sodium lactate, potassium azeloyl diglycinate, botanical blend
One of vitamin C’s main jobs is to lighten and brighten the skin, and Glow Factor is a great product to help target any pigment you may have gained throughout the summer months. In addition to addressing existing pigment, Glow Factor helps prevent new pigment from forming. It protects against free radicals that cause sun damage and early signs of aging. Plus, it promotes collagen production to keep your skin glowing throughout the fall and winter.
Key ingredients: hyaluronic acid, oligopeptide-10, niacinamide, potassium azeloyl diglycinate, allantoin
Higher humidity in the summer means more oil production, which can help skin retain moisture better. As the weather gets cool and oil production slows, adding in a little extra hydration can go a long way. Youth Serum is made with hyaluronic acid and clinically proven to instantly replenish moisture. Along with firming niacinamide and oligopeptide-10, which fights blemishes and redness, this best seller plumps fine lines and brightens your complexion, too.
Key ingredients: peptides, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide
Daylight Savings is fast approaching, so get ahead of those sleepy under-eye circles with Eye Sculpt. Adding in this lightweight, peptide-rich formula will help decrease dark circles, unwanted puffiness and hydrate the eye area to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Key ingredients: advanced peptide complex, azelaic and salicylic acids, barrier-protective hydrators, antioxidant blend
If you’re prone to dryness during the fall or winter, consider swapping in After Hours as a nightly treatment step. You’ll get the same resurfacing benefits you would with a retinoid, just more gently. After Hours combines an advanced peptide complex, an azelaic-salycilic acid blend and barrier-supportive hydrators to refine the skin’s surface while moisturizing, too. It’s ideal for brightening dark spots, smoothing texture and firming skin. If you’re keeping Night Watch in the mix, you can use After Hours on alternating nights.
Key ingredients: ceramides, peptides and high-performance botanicals
As temperatures drop and we start turning on the heat, our skin loses moisture faster. This means a hydrating moisturizer is the most crucial part of your fall routine! Opt for a richer moisturizer full of ceramides, like Face Whip. Ceramides nourish and strengthen the skin barrier, plumping skin and minimizing moisture loss.
If you’re dealing with stubborn pigment or redness post-summer, a BBL photofacial is one of the most effective ways to target both while creating a brighter, more even-looking complexion. This light therapy treatment uses BroadBand light to gently heat the top layer of the skin, stimulating regeneration and collagen production in areas with excess pigmentation. In addition to pigment and redness, BBL photofacials can also improve acne, uneven texture and the appearance of pores.
Moxi laser is a gentle resurfacing treatment that refines texture, corrects sun damage and improves overall luminosity. Unlike lasers that heat the outer layers of the skin, Moxi laser targets water within skin cells to stimulate collagen and regeneration. This makes it safe for all skin types and tones, including those with melasma. Want to comprehensively treat pigment, texture and tone? Stack Moxi laser with a BBL photofacial for a more comprehensive refresh.
We love microneedling year-round, but fall and winter are a great time to bring it back into rotation. UV damage can impact collagen production, resulting in pigment, dullness and more visible fine lines and wrinkles. Microneedling triggers your skin’s wound healing response, stimulates collagen production and improves texture, tone and pigment as a result. As collagen builds, your skin will be noticeably more radiant. The best part? You’re improving long-term skin quality, too.
Want to capitalize on collagen production? Enhance your microneedling treatment with PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) or PRP (platelet-rich plasma). Both can give your treatment an additional regenerative boost while supporting recovery.
Adjusting your routine for a new season doesn’t require a complete overhaul. It’s all about understanding your skin’s needs and making intentional tweaks to better support it. Fall is the ideal time to repair sun damage, replenish hydration and improve skin quality with collagen-stimulating treatments.
