Autumn Beauty: 5 Must-Have Products

As the warm summer breeze turns to cold chilly air, it’s a signal to prepare your beauty routine for the colder months ahead.

Autumn is a beautiful season where the weather’s just right, but the changing temperatures can wreak havoc on your skin and hair. The drop in humidity creates dry and stale air, which can dehydrate skin and hair. Add a radiator’s dry heat, and you can spend the season battling with itchy, flaky skin.

• Focus on hydration

Keeping your skin hydrated should be your goal in Autumn – switch to richer moisturisers than the lightweight ones you’ve used in summer. Look for ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid that helps layer hydration on your skin, and moisturise from head to toe with hair masks and body lotions.

• Exfoliate but don’t overdo it

Exfoliating is essential to get rid of keratin build-up, but too much can strip your skin of moisture by creating tiny cracks that cause inflammation. Strike a balance by using gentle exfoliants and avoiding harsher products with glycolic acid and retinoids.

• Repair summer’s skin damage with Vitamin C

The summer sun can causes dark skin and uneven skin tone. Repair the damage by adding a boost of Vitamin C to your regimen - vitamin C-rich formulas protect your skin from free radicals and help to repair fine lines and wrinkles.

Here are our five top picks to have you looking and feeling your best self this season.
