Fall is here! This new season brings cozy sweaters, cooler air, but – unfortunately – dryer skin. Now is a good time to update your skin care routine to adjust to the drop in humidity.

With these best skin natural care tips, you can achieve a dewy complexion this fall.

1. Keep your skin moisturized

In the summer, the natural humidity in the air maintains the moisture levels in your skin. But with the dryness of fall, your skin will become less moist and may start to feel dehydrated and tight, worsening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This could mean that you are not moisturizing often enough. If your skin is prone to dryness, upgrade to heavier skin care creams that can effectively lock in moisture and create a barrier against the elements.

2. Care for your whole body

While we tend to focus on the face, remember to care for the rest of your body!

Consider the JK7® Body Care Lotion for healthy-looking skin from head to toe. With Lemon and Lime, as well as other precious natural ingredients, this whole-body cream balances the moisture content of your skin for a long-lasting replenishment of your body’s skin cells.

3. Re-evaluate your anti-aging products

At JK7®, we believe that it is never too early to start your natural skin care routine for aging skin. Following a consistent routine in your twenties will set a strong foundation for healthy aging in the future.

If you already have an established regimen, are you using naturally based products that are beneficial for your long-term health?

During fall, with the drier, cooler weather, it is a good idea to cut retinoids and chemical exfoliants like alpha hydroxy acids. These chemicals can worsen dryness and damage your skin over time.

Instead, look for ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid (sourced naturally only!) as a natural alternative to retinol. Hyaluronic Acid decreases wrinkle depth and restores skin cells without the dryness, redness, and sun-sensitivity associated with retinoids.

The JK7® Face-Lifting Booster can also be an effective addition to your natural skin care routine for aging skin in the fall. With a silky-soft gel texture, this serum is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and Spilantus to support the skin’s own functions.  This “natural Botox” contains flowers and seeds of Spilanthes Acmella (Paracress), which create a strong anti-aging effect for maximum performance.

To use the booster, apply a small amount of the serum to the face, neck, and décolleté after cleansing. Massage it in well with a circular motion. For the best results, use the JK7® Face-Lifting Booster before the JK7® Rejuvenation Serum-Lotion and the JK7® Moisturizers.

4. Consider using a humidifier to combat dry air

During fall, we may start to use artificial indoor heating. These heating systems can suck moisture out of the air and dry out your skin, resulting in redness and sensitivity. Consider putting a small humidifier in your bedroom or office to keep the air moist.

5. Drink lots of water

Don’t forget to keep drinking lots of water! Four to six cups daily is a good rule of thumb to follow for maintaining good health. Those who are very active may need to drink more.

You can also infuse lemon, lime, mint, or strawberries in your water for extra flavor and added nutrients.

6. For acne-prone skin, use a stripped-down skin care routine

The dryer weather can aggravate acne-prone skin. To combat this effect, use an all-natural, moisturizing skin care routine for acne that uses fewer products.

Consider investing in high-quality, all-purpose products and avoid unnecessary steps that will overload your skin with chemicals. A simpler routine is also highly beneficial for those with sensitive skin.

The JK7® 24H Cream Day & Night Face Care is an all-in-one solution for your stripped-down skin care routine. Formulated with Australian Sandalwood and Orange Essential Oils together with Shea Butter, natural Vitamin E, Pomegranate, and Mangosteen Extracts, these ingredients combine as powerful nurturers and antioxidants triggering the skin’s rejuvenation process.

Due to its gentle formulation that keeps your pores free from pollutants and artificial chemicals, this 24H cream is great to use in your all-natural skin care routine for acne.

7. Avoid hot water

When the weather is cold, it is tempting to soak in a tub or take a steaming hot shower. While these activities can help you feel relaxed, they are not great for your skin.

Hot water dries out your skin and can make it inflamed. Very hot water can also upset your skin’s natural production of oils. To protect your skin when bathing, use warm water instead, and finish with a cool rinse off. This will also boost your immune system.

When you get out of the shower, remember not to rub your skin with a towel. Instead, gently pat your skin dry to help your skin retain its moisture and suppleness.

 

The colder weather doesn’t have to mean dull, dry, or sensitive skin. This season, focus on protecting and refreshing your skin! With these tips, you can keep your natural summer radiance all year long.
