Your Skincare Routine for Cooler Weather

Just like how you swap out your wardrobe with the season, you should be doing the same with your skincare routine! The shift from summer to colder weather can wreak havoc on skin’s moisture levels and lead to dryness and irritation…sometimes overnight.

You can get ahead of the seasonal skin changes by prioritizing hydrating products that flood your skin with moisture. Not only will your skin feel velvety soft, you’ll also feel at peace with an upgraded self-care routine — and Curie has got you covered in the body care department. 😉

Key Components of a Fall Self Care Routine 

Because the air becomes drier as the weather gets colder, the key to keeping your skin soft and silky is incorporating formulas that boost hydration and reinforce the moisture barrier. For your face, this means trading your lighter gel creams for richer, thicker creams. 

Have you ever noticed how easily your skin becomes dry and cracked in the fall and winter? There are a couple of ways to ward off these skin scaries:

• Exfoliate! Getting rid of dry, dead skin cells is a surefire way to reveal the softer, smoother skin underneath. Regularly exfoliating once a week with a body scrub is a good habit to get into.

• Replenish your skin’s moisture! Once you exfoliate, it’s important to cover your skin with moisture to lock in hydration. While creams can certainly do the trick, lightweight oils — like our very own Moisturizing Hair & Body Oil — also impart nourishing moisture, without leaving behind a greasy or heavy feeling. Plus, this formula can also keep your hair looking and feeling silky soft too.  

Embracing Fall Scents

Finding a nourishing hydrating formula you love is only part of the equation. You can enhance your self-care ritual by choosing a product with a comforting scent. Warm, cozy scents can regulate your nervous system, helping you to feel calmer and happier. As soon as fall rolls around, you may be craving everything pumpkin spice, but there are so many other autumnal fragrances that can enhance the cozy vibes. Take our Warm Vanilla scent, for example — it combines Madagascar vanilla, soft amber, and creamy almond milk for an uplifting aroma that you’ll want to envelop your skin (and senses) in.
