Autumn skincare tips: renew and recover

Summer is always a harsh time for your skin, and it takes a huge amount of effort to protect it from the damaging conditions for so long. The dry air, the beating sun, lack of moisture - it can all leave your skin feeling worse for wear!

Now is the time to rejuvenate and re-empower that glow, as the easier climate of Autumn moves in. Take advantage of the moderate days to restore your skin to its full glory, while also starting to prep for the return of harsher days.

Keep in mind that the cooler, drier air means your skin will retain less moisture, and so your skincare routine needs to reflect this common symptoms include dryness, flaking and irritation, and a dull and sallow skin tone. We have put together the ideal skin routine to make sure you stay bright and beautiful throughout the season!

• Exfoliate: Always so important, to ensure that the rough, dead skin cells clinging to the surface of your skin are taken care of and the fresh, vitalised skin is revealed underneath. It is also so important as with dead cells clogging your skin, none of your products will penetrate, leaving your routine ineffective. We recommend using our Purify Enzyme Cleanser a couple of times a week.
• Cleanse: After exfoliation, give your skin a deep clean with our Soothe Cleansing Oil. This is to unclog pores and any clear any pollutants that might still be clinging to the skin. Synthesis Organics Soothe Cleansing Oil is enriched with cold-pressed oils that gently remove make-up and deep-pore cleanse to rejuvenate skin. It will also shed dead skin cells and impurities while boosting collagen and elastin production for a clear, smooth, and youthful appearance.
