Face care in autumn

After the long summer months, the days are noticeably shorter and the sun's rays are noticeably less warm. The foliage of the trees turns colorful before the stormy autumn wind sweeps the red, yellow or brown leaves from the branches - an unmistakable sign that nature is preparing for the cold, low-light season. While we snuggle up in warm wool sweaters, our skin also longs for additional protection and rich care.

Just moisturizing serums, active ingredient concentrates and lotions with light textures like in summer are no longer enough. During the colder months, our skin needs additional lipids/fats, especially face and body oils, anhydrous balms and richer creams that strengthen the skin barrier and minimize skin moisture loss.

Challenges for the skin in autumn

Cold temperatures, wind and heating air dry out the skin severely. They attack the protective skin barrier. As a result, the skin can no longer store enough moisture. There is an increased feeling of tension, scaly or cracked skin, redness and itching. Wrinkles and premature skin aging are also part of the consequences. Last but not least, a weakened skin barrier allows bacteria and viruses to penetrate the skin more easily, so that impurities and pimples have an easy time.

Strengthen the skin barrier

The be-all and end-all for your skin care in autumn and winter are high-quality, skin-like lipids such as shea butter and active ingredients such as beta-glucan or phosphatidylcholine, which rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier. In order to keep your skin healthy and youthfully firm for as long as possible, it is important to understand and respond to the individual needs of your skin that change with the seasons.

You're the best person to notice when your skin no longer just needs a light facial serum, but also a richer facial cream and/or facial oil that suits your skin's needs. Since the individual basic structure of your skin remains the same in all seasons, you do not have to completely change your care routine again and again, you only need to adjust it slightly seasonally.

Five facial care tips for autumn

• Gradual transition
  After the light moisturizing care in summer, you can gradually supplement your care routine in autumn with products richer in fat and oil, for example with the deep-cleansing Cleansing Oil or the somewhat richer care line for dry and mature skin.

• Gentle facial cleansing
  Above all, your facial cleansing should be free of harsh surfactants and alcohol, which unnecessarily degrease your skin and weaken the skin barrier.

• Soothing face mask
  If your skin is dried out, irritated or irritated from the long months of sunshine, you should treat it to a soothing cream face mask once a week. The Regenerate Soothing Mask without emulsifiers is ideal for this (see photo). It contains skin-firming grape seed oil, beta-glucan for a strong skin barrier and powerful antioxidants from acai berry and sea buckthorn.

• Anhydrous face balm
  With increasingly cold wind and falling temperatures, our skin can no longer produce enough fat. It tends to get dry and cracked. The perfect solution is now the Bio Amaranth Face Balm. With its moisturizing, skin-like lipids and moisturizing ingredients, the balm gives dry skin what it needs most in the cool months.

• Natural facial oils
  High-quality face oils also have a cell-protecting, smoothing and regenerating effect – either applied over your face cream or over a face serum instead of a cream.
