Top Skincare and Beauty Tips To Embrace Autumn In Style

The crisp fresh days of autumn are creeping up on us, and now is an ideal time to adapt your beauty routine in readiness for the new season. This means giving your hair and skin a little extra TLC and refreshing your makeup palette. Here are some tips to keep you looking and feeling fabulous this autumn.

Switch to a more hydrating moisturiser
Your skin may be feeling the toll of the summer sun, and now the cooler temperatures will exacerbate any dryness. Therefore autumn is a good time to switch from lighter serums to thicker moisturising lotions and balms. 

If you are starting to notice fine lines, it may be worth investigating a night cream with hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or retinoids that boost collagen production and help to keep the skin looking dewy and youthful. 

Apply an intensive conditioning mask to your hair
Sun, sea and chlorine from swimming pools can leave hair feeling dry after the summer, and the coming colder weather and central heating will increase any tendency to frizziness. Using a hydrating hair mask once a week will help to lock in moisture and keep your hair feeling soft and shiny.

If possible, give your hair a break from heated styling tools for a few weeks to allow it to recover fully from heat damage and ensure it’s looking its vibrant best for the new season.

Pamper your hands
Our hands are often the first areas to show signs of ageing and wear as they are frequently exposed to water and the elements. Invest in an intensive hand cream to keep on your desk and by your bedside so that you can top them up with moisture on a regular basis.

If you are prone to very dry hands with cracked skin or eczema, try using a heavier emollient at night, and pop on a pair of cotton gloves to protect your sheets.

Embrace a warmer makeup palette
To keep your makeup look on-trend, switch from the cooler pastel tones of summer to a warmer palette. Swap shimmery glosses for velvety matte textures for lips, and try out some bolder colours if you prefer. 

Monochrome palettes, where you use the same colour on your lips, cheeks, and eyes, is set to be a big trend for autumn and saves you buying separate products, as one multi-tasking product can do it all. 

Top up on nutrients
Diet is the key to sustaining healthy hair and skin, so make sure that you are getting all your essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins with plenty of seasonal produce. Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which helps to protect the skin from damage and helps cuts to heal faster. They are easy to eat when grated in salads or added to stews.

Apples are a great source of antioxidants and B vitamins that help to combat skin irritations and keep your complexion glowing, and they are a fresh and delicious snack at this time of year.
