Leaves started to change their color and started falling and the season gonna changed… Well, Summer is all about Lightweight creams, serums, and lotions, with the change in the season it is the time to switch your skincare products with a change in the season. In this blog post, we share the steps to get you know how to switch your skincare regime from summer to fall-
Steps to switch your skincare regime from summer to fall are as follows:-
-
Switch your Cleanser
In summer, you may have used a gel-based cleanser to take care of oil and sweat. However, with the onset of colder temperatures, it’s best to start using a creamier and more hydrating face wash. Use a mild non-drying cleanser that will effectively cleanse your skin and remove makeup and other impurities, but won’t dehydrate it.
Pro Tip:
If you want the best skin possible, double cleanse! Always use an oil-based cleanser when removing makeup, and finish with your creamy cleanser for that cool after-cleansing feeling.
2.No More Thick Sunscreen
During the summer, you would most likely be applying that heavy sunscreen on your skin’s surface to withstand the dangerous UV rays. But when the cold weather starts settling in, it’s time to switch to something more bearable and mobile! Change that heavy sunscreen with a very light moisturizer with an SPF or a gel-based sunblock. In this way, you will still ensure that your facial skin is well covered but you do not have that awful oily feeling that permeates one’s frontal lobe.
Pro Tip:
In case you are bothered about the shine, consider choosing those that are offered with a "matte finish". This is a good thing as it will help your skin remain normal while at the same time enhance the level of protection you enjoy! You must try Glopeta’s Ultra Matte Dry touch sunscreen with SPF 50+++.

Hydration Is Key
When the temperature drops, the air is cooler and skin tends to become a bit rough and in some cases, dry. So it's time to get that hydration game up! The hydrating gel moisturizers that you have been using all summer are great but it is time to go for something much better It is time to turn up for creamier options. Opt for creams with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides in their composition. These ingredients will help to retain moisture and keep your skin healthy and firm.
Pro Tip:
Make sure to apply your moisturizer when your skin is still wet from cleansing. This is effective, particularly in retaining all that moisture! You must try Glopetra’s Hydrating Niacinamide and Ceramide to deeply hydrate the skin.
-
Exfoliate that glow
Sun, sand, and sweat can take a toll on the skin, leaving it lifeless after the summer vacation. This has a benefit since it is fall which means it is the time to rejuvenate the skin! Add a mild exfoliator to your regimen. You may choose to use either a cream or gel scrub or go for chemical services like AHA and BHA.
Pro Tip:
Ensure to exfoliate once or twice a week so that it is not too much. Your skin will have a nice matte finish and it will look so radiant! Try Glopetra’s AHA BHA gel
-
Add More Products
Just like you put on more layers of clothes you should also add more layers of skincare! This is also true in skin products. Start with a hydrating serum then slap on your moisturizer, face oil if you want to be extra and finish with a facial oil if you want. This technique is meant to seal moisture in and also acts as a shield from any external cold air.
Pro Tip:
Good serums that have vitamin C can help in maintaining the summer radiance while treatment is going on.
-
Give Those Lips Enough Care
And about those lips – they too deserve some attention! Like many other parts of the body, as it gets cold, so do the lips and causing them to crack and dry out. Forget about the sweet-smelling shades of glosses and reach out for a protective lip balm. Choose the ones that have shea butter or beeswax in them for better moisturizing agents.
Pro Tip:
The sugar scrub will work wonders on your lips as well. Use once a week for soft and beautiful lips. Just mix a little honey and sugar, scrub, and rinse away!
-
Never Neglect the Eye Cream
Your eye regions are not immune to dryness. More so when its cold. So this is the perfect moment to include an eye cream that soothes and perks up the under eyes. And for that purpose, choose the eye cream formulation that contains caffeine to bear down on swelling and pigmentation. Your under-eyes will appreciate you!
Pro Tip: As a gentler technique, use the fourth finger for the application of eye cream. This also helps in avoiding pulling of that sensitive area.
-
Understand Your Skin
This is the most important step—understand your skin! Each person’s skin has a different reaction, so always take notice of your skin. If these two positives start to head south, for example in the form of discomfort or rough patches on your skin, that is an indication that your routine needs alterations. You might have to alter some of the items or the frequency of applying them.
Pro Tip: Maintain a Skincare Diary such that every practice has a corresponding effort. It is an effective tool for knowing what works for your skin!
-
Don’t Forget Your Body
And now let us move on to the more jocular concept and yet constructive of elbowing our bodies too while doing justice to our faces! Fall does your skin heads up the curve and can cause roughness and bruising. A heavy body moisturizer or body cream is important so that the skin remains supple and has a smooth texture. Buy ones that contain nourishing nutrients like shea butter or coconut oil.
Pro Tip:
When you apply your body lotion, do so right after having taken a shower and while your skin is still wet, that is, if you want to help combat the excessive dryness. Trust me when I say your skin will be 10 times better!
-
Hydrating Likewise Inward and Outward
Unless of course you intend to mean drinking only free water, although in such a case, most people tend to underestimate this crucial point. Do not forget to take enough water on a daily basis. Looking forward to the seasonal nutrients? It’s on the pumpkins, apples, and vegetables where a lot of vitamins productive for the skin can be found.
Pro Tip:
Make it a point to drink at least eight glasses of water every day, and make water interesting by adding slices of fruits like lemon or cucumber.
