Routine Check: Switch Up Your Cleanser For Fall

As the leaves begin to turn and the air gets crisper, it's not just your wardrobe that needs an update—your skincare routine does too. One of the key products to reevaluate is your cleanser. Why? Because your skin's needs shift with the weather, and as the foundation of your whole routine, the cleanser you use can make a big difference in how your skin feels through the seasons.

The Impact of Seasonal Changes on Your Skin

During summer, your skin produces more oil due to the heat and humidity, often making lightweight, gel-based cleansers your go-to. However, as fall rolls in, the air becomes drier and cooler, leading to a decrease in sebum production. This shift can leave your skin feeling tight, dry, and more sensitive and your summer gel cleanser isn't providing the moisture you need. You may be thinking you need a richer moisturizer or the serum you were using isn't working anymore. Think again- simply changing up your cleanser at this time of year can make all the difference and you can resume using your other products with ease until the temperatures really drop. 

What You Should Look For In Your fall Cleanser

When transitioning from summer to fall, choose a cleanser that nourishes while cleansing. Opt for formulations that offer more hydration and moisture to support your skin barrier.

For dry skin types, rich butters and oils in an oil or cream cleanser offer deep hydration, while oily/combination skin may benefit from lighter formulations with ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration without being too heavy.

Our Fall Cleanser Recommendations

  • LILFOX Amazon After Dark Cleanser: This luxurious cleanser is packed with babassu, cupuacu, and murmura butters for a deep, nourishing cleanse. The hibiscus and kakadu plum offer Vitamin C and AHAs to smooth and firm, while willow bark gently exfoliates and balances oil, making it ideal for all skin types.

  • Laurel Support Cleanser: Perfect for sensitive skin, this oil and hydrosol-based cleanser is full of anti-inflammatory and soothing herbs. It gently cleanses without stripping your skin, providing a perfect base for your autumn skincare routine.

  • Josh Rosebrook Essential Balm Cleanser: A versatile balm that transitions from an oil to a milk, making it an ideal choice as you move from humid to drier climates. It removes impurities while maintaining your skin's natural moisture balance.

How to Transition

Start by alternating between your current summer cleanser and your new fall formula to allow your skin to adjust. If you’re switching from a gel or foam cleanser, you might notice a difference in how your skin feels after cleansing—more nourished and less tight. That’s a good sign that your skin is getting the hydration it needs. 

As with any seasonal transition, listen to your skin. If you notice that your current cleanser is leaving your skin feeling parched or sensitive, it’s time to make the switch. Your skin will thank you for it when the winter winds start to blow.
