As the air gets colder and drier, the skin often reacts with dullness, dryness or even irritation. A change in season usually means it’s time to review our skincare routine – just as we update our wardrobe.
Here are three skin problems that occur most often in autumn – and how you can prevent or treat them with natural skincare from MARIA ÅKERBERG.
Dry and tight skin
When temperatures drop and indoor air becomes drier, the skin often loses moisture. Many notice their skin feeling tight, flaky and less supple.
What helps?
• Switch to a richer face cream, such as Face Protection, which nourishes and deeply hydrates. Complement with Night Balm in the evening to lock in moisture and enhance radiance.
• Add an oil to your routine. Royal Facial Oil contains strengthening fatty acids and works well under your face cream, both day and night.
• Use a face mask 1–2 times a week. Face Mask Moist is nourishing and restores the skin’s moisture balance.
Känslighet och rodnad
Cold winds and temperature changes can make the skin more reactive. It’s common for the skin to become flushed, red and sensitive – especially if the skin barrier is weakened.
What helps?
• Focus on strengthening the skin barrier. Products with soothing and nourishing ingredients, such as Serum Antirouge och Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil, help reduce irritation.
• Gentle cleansing is key. Cleansing Clay is a gentle, sulphate-free yet effective choice for sensitive skin.
• Protect the skin from cold and wind. Face Balm acts like a jacket for your skin, preventing moisture loss and soothes irritation.
Uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation
After summer and vacations in the sun, many notice an uneven skin tone – especially if the skin has had active inflammation or has been exposed to the sun without sufficient protection. Old acne scars may darken and new hyperpigmentation spots may appear.
What helps?
Serum CÂ an effective night treatment for hyperpigmentation. It contains naturally stabilised vitamin C, which brightens dark spots and protects against free radicals. Follow with Night Cream containing AHA for enhanced effect.
• Exfoliate the skin regularly. AHA & Jojoba Peeling helps stimulate cell renewal, even out skin tone and improve skin texture.
• Boost your morning routine. AHA Cleansing Milk works perfectly as a gentle exfoliating cleanser in the morning, smoothing the skin and making it more receptive to active ingredients.
Skincare therapist tip
When the climate changes, so do the needs of the skin. Autumn is the perfect time to adjust your regimen – give your skin extra care, replenish moisture level and strengthen the skin barrier ahead of the winter months.
