As autumn’s 🍂 crisp air and falling leaves signal a shift in the seasons, it’s time to rethink your skincare routine. Fall’s cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels can leave your skin feeling dry and dull, but with the right approach, you can maintain a glowing complexion all season long. At Spa Escape, we believe in nurturing your skin with the best care possible, so we’ve compiled our top five skincare tips to help you transition smoothly into fall.
1. Upgrade Your Moisturizer 💧
With the drop in humidity and cooler temps, your skin may feel drier and flaky. Time to switch to a richer, hydrating formula!
Why It’s Important:
Lower humidity = more moisture loss! Opt for a thicker cream or oil-based moisturizer to create a barrier and lock in hydration.
What to Look For:
- Hyaluronic Acid: Draws water into the skin
- Ceramides: Restore and maintain your skin’s barrier
- Glycerin: Attracts water to keep skin hydrated
Application Tips:
Apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp for extra hydration. Don’t forget your neck and chest areas!
2. Incorporate Regular Exfoliation ✨
Why It’s Important:
Fall can lead to dead skin buildup, leaving your complexion dull. Exfoliating removes this and boosts your glow.
What to Look For:
- Chemical Exfoliants: Lactic or glycolic acid gently dissolve dead skin cells
- Enzymatic Exfoliants: Pumpkin or papaya enzymes offer a gentle exfoliation without irritation.
Application Tips:
Exfoliate 1-2 times a week based on your skin type. Sensitive skin? Start with once a week. Always follow with moisturizer.

4. Introduce Hydrating Serums And Facial Oils 🌿
Why It’s Important:
Extra hydration can keep your skin plump and radiant throughout fall. Facial oils add a nourishing layer.
What to Look For:
- Hyaluronic Acid: Attracts and retains moisture
- Peptides: Improve skin barrier and hydration levels
- Argan Oil: Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, perfect for hydration
- Jojoba Oil: Mimics your skin’s natural oils for balance
Application Tips:
Apply your serum after cleansing, before moisturizing. Follow up with a facial oil to seal in all that goodness.
5. Protect Your Skin from Environmental Stressors 🌞
Why It’s Important:
Indoor heating and environmental changes can stress your skin. Antioxidants and sunscreen are key!
What to Look For:
- Antioxidant Serums: Vitamin C, vitamin E, and green tea to neutralize free radicals.
- Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen: UV rays still exist in fall! Use SPF 30+ daily.
Application Tips:
Apply antioxidant serum before your moisturizer for deep penetration, and sunscreen every day—even if it’s cloudy!
