Autumn skin care tips for happy skin
Autumn is finally here! We’re now ready for cooler weather, cozy sweaters, hot drinks and – unfortunately – drier skin. It’s not just the leaves and our wardrobe to change with the welcoming of autumn: the way our skin reacts to cooler temperatures changes, too.
We all know that temperatures, humidity levels, and sun exposure vary with each season. Autumn makes no exception: it’s the right time to reassess our go-to skin care routine. You’ll be surprised to learn how a small tweak in your daily beauty habits can make a big difference!
Follow our tips on how to set up the perfect autumn skin care routine and your skin will be ready to face also the colder seasons.
How skin is affected by seasonal changes
Generally speaking, it’s very wise to approach skin care seasonally. As we said, autumn brings with it important changes in the weather, but not only that. We often spend our days in artificially heated environments: moving from a warmer to a colder environment may cause damage to the skin barrier.
Environmental factors such as low humidity may draw moisture from the outermost layer of the skin, causing it to dry out. Moreover, during colder seasons, we generally drink less water. If we add a lower consumption of fruit and vegetables to all this, that’s when our body lacks valuable nutrients. This may also affect the appearance of our face, which may look tight, so that marks and imperfections become more visible.
We also must consider our age. With the passing of time, our skin needs change. We just have to find the beauty routine that is best suited to our needs.
Age gracefully with Beauty Thinkers pro-aging skin care tips
It’s no secret that the signs of time passing gradually appear on our skin as we get older. While skin aging is a natural biological process, an effective skin care routine can help keep the skin healthy and radiant for as long as possible.
For mature skin, we at Beauty Thinkers have created a routine that guarantees maximum nourishment through the combination of just three products.
To start your day, we recommend our Antioxidant Cream, a daily moisturizer with the correct percentage of Hydroxytyrosol olive extract, Propanediol and Squalane.
Its exclusive formulation offers all the benefits of Hydroxytyrosol: clinical tests have shown that Antioxidant Cream improves the appearance of the skin, making it smoother and even. Moreover, we can see a progressive increase in:
- collagen (11,6%),
- elasticity (8%),
- hydration (32,6%).
The test was conducted on 23 female volunteers aged 40-65 for a period of 8 weeks, using instrumental evaluation.
Our Antioxidant Cream can be applied both in the morning and in the evening. In the morning, complete your beauty routine with our moisturizing broad-spectrum UVA UVB SPF 30 Mineral Filter sunscreen. In the evening, after applying a layer of AC, use our Antioxidant Boost, an innovative product which has recently been awarded the 2022 Oprah Beauty O-Ward for Best Face Oil.
Antioxidant Boost provides a boost of Hydroxytyrosol antioxidants and is suitable for dry, normal, and combination skin concerns. It quickly absorbs and leaves no trace of greasiness, thanks to our original EVOO vanishing texture. It’s formulated with only four ingredients: Olea europaea (Olive) fruit oil, C15-19 alkane, Tocopherol, Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil.
Our Antioxidant Boost is designed to provide the right nourishment to the skin barrier, thanks to biotechnological free fatty acids that help counteract the effects of skin aging.
One or two nights a week (3-4 days in-between), Autumn is the right time to start “Semi-Slugging”. Instead of using a highly occlusive petroleum jelly which can clog pores, increase to 3-8 drops of Antioxidant Boost for a nutrient-rich, non-greasy alternative. Seal-in antioxidant actives without the messy linen laundering.
Just awaken to highly nourished, glowing skin.
Autumn skin care routine: our tips to prevent the effects of premature aging
“After the age of thirty, the body begins to change”: these are the words that generally describe this crucial age. This also includes changes in our skin; collagen, elastin, and sebum production begins to slow down (skin feels thinner, less elastic, and drier). For many, in fact, the signs of photodamage from our youth start to appear – also known as premature aging.
You may start to experience sensations of irritation, dullness, roughness, dehydration, and dryness – all signs or skin barrier damage.
The skin changes, so our skin barrier can become more prone to sensitization and irritation.
Typically, this is caused by overuse (e.g., over-cleansing) and misuse (e.g., applying retinoids
during the day) of products. But not only, it can happen unconsciously by using the wrong product (e.g., thinking you have oily skin, when in fact, you don’t) or using overly aggressive products (e.g., stripping cleansers).
To top it off, the modern lifestyle seems to be getting busier and busier, pushing our bodies to do more and favoring the proliferation of free radicals (open-air outdoor music festivals, construction pollution, fast food, insomnia, long-term stress), which are also responsible for skin aging.
From the age of thirty, therefore, we recommend following a skin care routine that aims to keep the skin hydrated (fact, the skin is about 64% water, so a well-hydrated skin is the fundamental starting point of good skin health) and well-moisturized (to help protect the skin barrier which helps to retain skin hydration).
And, if you haven’t already, our final recommendation is using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily (no matter the season, no matter the place). It’s not just fine lines which start to appear, but UV rays can cause sun spots and uneven texture as well.
In the morning, apply Antioxidant Cream first, and follow with our broad-spectrum UVA UVB SPF30 Mineral Filter sunscreen. Antioxidants are best used during the day for optimum free radical defence and even greater when followed by sunscreen for the ultimate in protection.
In the evening, we recommend applying Hydrator 3 to directly target the signs of skin barrier damage (remember those music festivals? Stressful deadlines?), followed by Antioxidant Boost to awaken with a healthy glow.
Our hydrator contains Hydroxytyrosol Olive Extract and Enzymatic EVOO, Glycerin, Ceramide AP, Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine, TMG, Illipe Butter, and has been carefully formulated to meet the needs of the most sensitive skin.
Hydrator 3 is a powerful nourishing antioxidant treatment that restores lifeless, dull skin. Skin appears noticeably vibrant, hydrated, nourished, more even, and soothed. Clinical tests have shown that consistent use of HY3 improves effects of skin barrier damage in just five days, reduces effects of skin barrier damage by up to 60%, increases hydration by 60%, and reduces sensations of irritation by up to 62%.
The test was conducted on 20 male and female volunteers aged 20-50 for a period of 28 days, using instrumental evaluation.
One or two nights a week (3-4 days in-between), Autumn (drier air and lower temperatures) is the right time to start “Semi-Slugging” to seal-in hydration and nourishment. Instead of using a highly occlusive petroleum jelly which can clog pores, increase to 3-8 drops of Antioxidant Boost for a nutrient-rich, non-greasy alternative. Seal-in antioxidant actives without the messy linen laundering. Just awaken to highly nourished, glowing skin.
Prevention is better than cure: skin care habits to learn before you turn 30
You know those creases starting to appear on your skin around the age of 30? They’re called expression lines, and sometimes they appear even earlier. Skin damage is often delayed and appears later, even much
later (as is the case with UV damage), so how you defend/not defend your skin today can determine what
appears later. This is what is called preventative skin care. Learning how to take care of your skin at a young age is essential.
Educating yourself on skin care means above all learning the importance of the three cornerstones of healthy skin:
- Daily broad-spectrum UV protection – if you do just one thing, make it this. UV damage is the single biggest cause of pre-mature aging.
- hydration – healthy skin is always a well-hydrated skin.
- nourishment – a hydrated skin is always a well-nourished skin.
To meet the needs of young people, we’ve built an easy beauty routine including just three products.
In the morning, apply Hydrator 1 to cleansed face and neck. Hydrator 1 is a one-step nourishing hydrator containing Hydroxytyrosol Olive Extract and Enzymatic EVOO, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate (high- and medium-weight Hyaluronic Acid), Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid), Panthenol, Shea Butter.
Its innovative formulation is suitable for dry, normal and combination skins, and helps attract and retain water to maintain a constant level of hydration. All this is possible thanks to water-drawing humectants that work in synchronicity with our Enzymatic EVOO.
We recommend completing the daily routine with UVA UVB SPF30 Mineral Filter, our broad-spectrum sunscreen.
In the evening, apply Hydrator 1 again and follow with few drops of Antioxidant Boost.
One or two nights a week (3-4 days in-between), Autumn (drier air and lower temperatures) is the right time to start “Semi-Slugging” to seal-in hydration and nourishment. Instead of using a highly occlusive petroleum jelly which can clog pores, increase to 3-8 drops of Antioxidant Boost for a nutrient-rich, non-greasy alternative. Seal-in antioxidant actives without the messy linen laundering. Just awaken to highly nourished, glowing skin.
How to deal with oily skin in Autumn
Oily skin should be equally hydrated: users require products that leave their skin with no trace of oiliness.
Hydrator 2 is an ultra-light hydrating lotion with a fast-absorbing, zero-grease texture, leaving a fresh sensation. Apply it both in the morning and in the evening: its dry touch will leave your skin silky and even, without any greasiness.
Specifically formulated for oily and combination skin concerns, this moisturizer contains: Hydroxytyrosol Olive Extract and Enzymatic EVOO, Niacinamide (helps to rebalance sebum), Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (low-molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid), Cellulose (made from bamboo to provide a soft, matte effect).
How to complete your routine? In the morning, apply the lotion followed by our broad-spectrum UVA UVB SPF30 Mineral Filter sunscreen, while in the evening you can apply just Hydrator 2. For your consideration, since Autumn brings drier air and lower temperatures, so it might be the right season to start adding a few drops of Antioxidant Boost for fast absorbing moisturizing nourishment.
One night a week, Autumn might also be the right season to start “Semi-Slugging” to seal-in hydration and nourishment. Classic slugging can be out of the question because applying a highly occlusive petroleum jelly can clog pores. Instead, to “Semi-Slug” increase to 3-5 drops of Antioxidant Boost for a nutrient-rich, non-greasy alternative.
Seal-in antioxidant actives without the occlusive mess. Just awaken to highly nourished, glowing skin.
Whatever your age, build the perfect autumn skin care routine and magnify your beauty with Beauty Thinkers products.
