Fall might feel like a welcome relief after summer, but the seasonal shift can be surprisingly harsh on your skin.
As temperatures drop and humidity levels dip, moisture in the air decreases—leaving your skin more vulnerable to dehydration. Cool, dry winds combined with the start of indoor heating sap skin’s natural hydration even faster, creating that tight, uncomfortable feeling we often notice by mid-season.
After the age of 20, your skin’s protective lipid barrier gradually thins, making it harder to lock in moisture. When this barrier is compromised, skin becomes more prone to dryness, flakiness, and fine lines—setting the stage for irritation and sensitivity just as the weather turns crisp. Left unaddressed, this transitional season can leave skin looking dull and stressed, making proactive care essential before winter sets in.
