With the onset of autumn, when torrential rains replace the summer heat, many women notice unpleasant changes in the condition of the skin of their face: until recently, it looked fresh and radiant, and now age spots, treacherous wrinkles and spider veins began to appear on it. And the fact is that during the summer season, the skin was constantly exposed to ultraviolet rays, high temperatures and other negative factors that could lead to its dehydration and exhaustion.

Of course, if in the summer the skin of the face received full care, then with the onset of the first cold weather it will be in a satisfactory condition and it will not need intensive restorative procedures. However, if in the hottest season of the year, for some reason, it was not possible to properly take care of oneself, then by the beginning of the autumn season, the skin of the face may lose elasticity, become rough, dry and rough. In this case, she will need to provide special care, which consists mainly in restoring damaged cells and preparing the skin of the face for the upcoming cold weather. But in order to learn how to properly care for your skin in the fall, you need to know exactly what factors affect its condition at this time of the year.

Unfavorable factors affecting the skin of the face in the fall

When planning facial skin care in the autumn, it is necessary to organize it in such a way as to compensate for the harmful effects of external factors that have a direct impact on the state of the dermis. These factors include:

  • ultraviolet radiation (in September the sun can remain as active as in summer);
  • cold wind;
  • sudden changes in temperature;
  • dry indoor air;
  • deficiency of vitamins, in particular vitamin D (can be observed from mid-October).

Do not forget that in the cold season, metabolic processes slow down in the body, the immune system weakens and chronic diseases worsen, which, in turn, does not have the best effect on the condition of the skin. Therefore, in addition to cosmetic procedures, the program of autumn facial skin care should also include taking multivitamin preparations, balanced nutrition and good rest.

The main stages of autumn facial skin care

Autumn face care has its own characteristics, and if in the summer the skin needed more protection from ultraviolet radiation, then in the cold season it is necessary to focus on intensive recovery, nutrition and hydration. It is important to take into account that face creams that were relevant in the summer should be replaced with more oily ones. That is, the composition of such cosmetics should contain vegetable oils, fatty acids and other components that can protect the skin from cold wind and low temperatures. True, it is not worth getting too carried away with creams with a heavy structure, since they can interfere with the flow of oxygen into the cells of the epidermis and provoke the development of inflammatory processes. As for the basic program for facial skin care in the fall, it should include the following steps:

  • Cleansing- a mandatory procedure designed to remove dirt and keratinized particles from the skin surface. For these purposes, it is recommended to use special products (washing foams, cleansing tonics and lotions) with a softening effect that do not contain alcohol, 2 times a day. In addition, you should regularly (1-2 times a week) peel your face with scrubs or exfoliating masks. It should be borne in mind that only warm water can be used for hygienic procedures in the autumn, because cold water causes temporary vasoconstriction, and therefore, blood supply in the tissues decreases and cell nutrition deteriorates. While too hot water, on the contrary, provokes the expansion of blood vessels and weakens their walls, which leads to a loss of skin firmness and elasticity.
  • Toning- the final stage of the skin cleansing procedure, which consists in removing the remnants of cleansers, restoring the required amount of moisture in the cells of the epidermis, improving blood circulation and increasing the tone of the skin. For these purposes, you can use various tonics, selected in accordance with the type of skin, as well as special factory or home-made masks.
  • Moisturizing- despite the fact that the sun becomes less active in autumn than in summer, the skin of the face still needs regular hydration. This need is due to the effects of low temperatures and wind, which contribute to the drying out of the dermis and deterioration of the complexion. To replenish the moisture deficit in skin cells, you need to use moisturizing creams (day and night), as well as special masks with a similar effect. Day creams should be applied to the face at least 40 minutes before going outdoors, otherwise the skin can be supercooled. In addition, it is necessary to observe the drinking regime (consume at least one and a half liters of clean water per day). If you wish, you can purchase moisturizing wipes from the pharmacy and wipe your face with them throughout the day. It also does not hurt to install an electric humidifier in the apartment, which will help maintain the required level of humidity in the room during the heating season.
  • Food- in the autumn period, the skin of the face especially needs nutrients necessary for its normal functioning. To do this, you need to regularly use special nutritious creams and masks containing vitamins A, C and E. In addition, you need to take care of the intake of nutrients into the body with food, eating a sufficient amount of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and other foods rich in vitamins, organic acids and minerals.
  • Strengthening- in the fall, the walls of blood vessels become weak and fragile due to sudden changes in temperature, which often causes diseases such as rosacea and rosacea. To prevent the development of vascular skin diseases in the cold season, it is necessary to adhere to a healthy diet, spend enough time outdoors and regularly use cosmetics with collagen.
  • Sun protection- at the beginning of autumn, when the sun is still shining in full force, it is necessary to apply special products containing UV filters on the face before going outside. It can be various sunscreens with an SPF of at least 15 units or decorative cosmetics (powder, concealer or foundation).

Autumn is considered the most favorable time for salon procedures, which are contraindicated in the summer. These include deep peeling, laser correction, ultrasonic face cleansing and other manipulations designed to maintain healthy and beautiful skin. But if desired, full-fledged facial care at this time of the year can be carried out without the help of specialists, that is, independently, using home remedies prepared according to folk recipes.

Autumn is not only rain and slush. It is fresh air filled with the scent of late flowers, colorful foliage and walks in the park. To enjoy the delights of autumn, you need a great mood. What is the best way to cheer you up? Of course, confidence in their attractiveness. And in order to feel beautiful, you need to properly care for your skin, then no cold weather and bad weather can spoil its perfect condition.

With the onset of autumn cold weather many new tests await our skin, this is cold air outside, windy weather and dry indoor air. And also the sharp changes in temperature on the street and in the house negatively affect. That's why skin care in the fall should be very different from the summer.

Changes in temperature and humidity very often lead to damage to the protective lipid barrier of the skin, which can lead to premature aging. In addition, the vessels also respond to temperature changes by sharply expanding and narrowing, which leads to the formation of a vascular network. To preserve youthfulness of the skin, it is necessary to take into account all these features of the autumn period and select the right care at this time.

Skin care at the very beginning of autumn

Do not think that autumn is the worst thing that can happen to the skin, in summer it also suffers from high temperatures and bright sunlight. In addition, with sweat, too many nutrients and vitamins can be removed from the skin, the lack of which can negatively affect its appearance. That is why, the first autumn days, when the temperature difference is not yet so noticeable and the cold is not yet capable of damaging the skin, should be used to restore its condition after the summer heat.

The optimal salon procedure for this period is non-injection mesotherapy, which, by introducing special nutritional complexes into the skin, allows you to replenish the reserves of collagen and hyaluronic acid. It is these substances that are responsible for the youthfulness of the skin, therefore such a procedure not only regenerates the skin, but also rejuvenates it.

If you prefer home treatments, then you should definitely pay attention to nourishing and regenerating masks. Masks based on various vegetable oils work very well on the skin. In addition, it is a sin not to take advantage of the abundance of autumn fruits and vegetables. A very good mask is obtained if you mix one tablespoon of grated apple and any vegetable oil, you can also add one egg yolk.

If after summer the skin seems a little coarse, then a mask made of carrots or rowan with margarine will help to soften it. You can also use any fruit for masks, mixing them with honey and oils or sour cream for a more nutritious effect.

The end of autumn is the time to prepare for winter

After your skin recovers from the summer heat, it's time to prepare for the winter cold. It is best to start this preparation when it really starts to get colder. First, the skin needs to be cleansed and peeling is usually used for this. It is better to give preference to more gentle procedures, for example, peeling with fruit acids. Fruit acids contain vitamin C, which has a beneficial effect not only on the skin, but also on the general condition of the body.

Exfoliation helps the skin to get rid of sunburn and residues that may have appeared in the summer and makes it lighter and smoother. In addition, cleansed skin is more responsive to nutritional and regenerative treatments. In addition to acid peeling, you can carry out thermopilling, which is often done with warm paraffin. It not only cleanses the skin, but also perfectly warms with the onset of the autumn cold.

In parallel with peels, massage gives excellent results. It is recommended to be carried out at the very end of autumn and at the beginning of winter. This treatment helps tone the facial muscles and improve collagen production. In addition, in parallel with the massage sessions, you can make nourishing masks, which, against the background of active massage, will be much better absorbed by the skin and will bring much more benefit.

Features of salon autumn care

Most beauty salons have special autumn programs that take into account all the problems that may arise during this period. Such programs help to restore the skin and strengthen it against the threat of winter cold. Thermolifting is one of the most effective procedures that restore blood vessels and get rid of the vascular network. In addition, it is recommended to systematically conduct massages in parallel with nourishing masks.

Very often salons offer their clients special thermal procedures in autumn. Such procedures bring not only a lot of pleasure, but also have a very positive effect on the condition of the skin. In addition, such procedures prepare the skin for future sudden changes in temperature outdoors and indoors.

In the fall, the skin often seems to - cannot decide whether it is dry or oily. This is not surprising, for most people over the summer, their skin dries up considerably due to exposure to bright sunlight and heat. In autumn, it is urgent to protect yourself from the cold. That is why autumn care should be aimed at normalizing metabolic processes in the skin and restoring its natural oily content.

Autumn skin care at home

If there is no desire or opportunity to visit salons for professional skin care, then you can independently carry out procedures at home. Most women in the fall are shown oily creams or masks with a high content of vitamin C. In addition, vitamin C serums can be purchased to help restore the skin and strengthen its immune system.

If you cannot visit the salon for peeling, then it is quite possible to do it at home. Peeling is best done once a week in the evening. After the procedure, you should not go outside until the morning, this will give the skin an opportunity to recover and calm down.

It is very important to wash properly. Do not wash your skin with too hot or cold water, any extremes in the fall will be harmful. Also, do not choose too aggressive products for washing, now there is much less dust on the street than in summer, and cleansing the skin does not require such efforts. Using less aggressive products will allow less trauma to the skin during cleansing.

It is very important to remember the rational in the autumn. Proper nutrition is one of the main prerequisites for maintaining the normal appearance of the skin. It is advisable to eat more vegetables and fruits in the autumn, as well as not forget about meat and dairy products. Sometimes you can indulge yourself with chocolate on cool and gray autumn evenings, but you don't have to lean on sweets for sure.

In addition, it contains a lot of ascorbic acid, vitamins B1, B2, P, K, iron, phosphorus, carotene and other valuable substances.

It's no secret that even a short exposure to the sun stimulates the production of those very hormones of happiness - endorphins, which we lack in our daily life. Summer, pleasant weather in the vast majority of people contributes to the formation of extremely positive emotions. And if you manage to get out of the surrounding life and spend a few days at the sea or at least on the river bank, then you can stock up on optimism for the rest of the year.

But we should not forget that prolonged bathing, especially in salt water, dry air and the inevitable exposure to ultraviolet summer radiation is stress for any skin, especially sensitive, requiring prompt measures to restore it. Also, do not forget that any tan is, in fact, a burn, and the degree of it depends on your diligence in an effort to acquire the long-awaited bronze tan in a few days.

Features of skin care in the fall

How to competently and effectively take care of your skin at a time when the summer sun was replaced by autumn clouds, and most importantly - what skin care products should be used in the fall, which is what experts advise. Let's try to go all over in order.

First of all, you should start by cleansing from excess, upper skin particles, for example, by means of peeling. Depending on age and income, you should choose your procedures. For example, if it is enough for a young girl to use a cream peeling at home, then older ladies are preferable to resort to the services of salons - to chemical peeling. After all, the best nutrition of the skin will be only after its preparation. At home, coffee, tea, sugar and other gentle peels are suitable.

This is followed by nutrition of the skin with beneficial trace elements.

At the beginning of the heating season, when the indoor air becomes very dry, we focus on moisturizing the skin. Like changing seasonal clothes, all or almost all summer skin care products such as sunscreens and lotions, tonics, especially alcohol-based are going on a long-term vacation. And the solo place, especially when the temperature on the thermometer drops, is occupied by more saturated, nourishing creams. Moreover, the favorable time for applying the funds also changes, it is best to nourish and moisturize in the evening in order to increase the time for the absorption of nutrients. Pay special attention, as always, that different skin types are suitable for different skin types, and the use of universal cosmetic products can lead to unexpected and sometimes undesirable results. It will be easier to restore damaged skin if you select cosmetics containing D-panthenol, argan oil, shea butter, jojoba oil.

In the daytime, if possible, it is desirable to apply moisturizing masks

Here is the time to remember grandmother's recipes and on generous autumn days to take advantage of the fruits given to us by mother nature herself. Indeed, vegetables and fruits in the summer-autumn period have the highest content of vitamins and microelements, so necessary for our skin. And infusions from freshly picked herbs will be much more useful than from herbs that have lain for several months. In addition, they will help to save your budget, pretty shabby summer vacation.

And in conclusion, it should be noted that the above tips should be applied not only to the skin of the face and hands, but to the entire skin. Autumn is associated with wilting nature and preparing it for a long hibernation, but in the case of skin care, this is the time for active recovery, hydration, toning and nutrition. It's time to prepare for cold and frosty conditions.

After all, a woman, unlike nature, should always remain sunny and blooming, should delight with freshness and beauty, shouldn't she?


What does the skin need in the fall? The main question that worries most of the female representatives with the onset of this beautiful, but at the same time cold season. Anna Ponomareva, a dermatologist at the Asklepion laser aesthetic medicine clinic, a cosmetologist specializing in laser surgery and therapeutic cosmetology, will tell you about the peculiarities of skin care in the fall.

What is the risk of improper facial skin care in the fall? Firstly, in the cold season, dryness, irritation and thinning of the skin occur. All this leads to the appearance of premature wrinkles and a deterioration in the general condition of the skin.

Means that will help the skin of the face in the fall

If in the first autumn month, when the weather is still quite comfortable, the skin is moisturized enough, then in October and November, when the temperature background becomes lower, and heating devices are working in the rooms, moisture alone will not be enough - you need nutrition, proper cleansing and additional care.

Skin cleansers

If in the summer to cleanse the skin Since various foams and gels were suitable, in the fall you should give preference to more gentle, gentle means, for example, cleansing milk. At the same time, toning the skin during this period is simply necessary, but you need to choose those products that do not contain alcohol - tonics based on green tea, chitosan or allatoin.


Do not forget about regular skin scrubbing(1-2 times a week). In addition to making the surface of the face smoother and firmer, scrubs help nutrients to penetrate the skin better. It will not be superfluous to remind you that any skin care products must be selected according to your skin type. Among face scrubs with natural and artificial particles, the latter should be preferred - they are less traumatic for the skin in the cold period, when it is already prone to all sorts of excesses (low temperatures, cold winds, dry indoor air).

Moisturizers for skin in the fall

Moisturizers for the cold season must necessarily contain hyaluronic acid, polysaccharides, plant extracts, chitosan. Remember to apply moisturizers to your skin at least half an hour before going outside.

Since the skin is more prone to premature aging in cold weather, one of the most beneficial ingredients is retinol... This substance helps the production of collagen, its amount is produced less and less with age. Retinol helps replenish collagen deficiencies and makes our skin work. For this property he was nicknamed "the winner of aging".


Nourishing face cream for autumn

Pay special attention to the choice nourishing cream... The right nourishing cream should contain ingredients such as collagen, vitamins, antioxidants, plant extracts, a protective complex with natural minerals and phytohormones when it comes to aging skin.

Among home skin care treatments, I would like to mention the use of masks and a steam bath.

Steam bath is one of the simplest but most effective ways to care for your skin. Steaming has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, its cleansing and improves subsequent care, the penetration of beneficial substances into the deeper layers of the skin. Adding a few drops of essential oil (mint, tea tree, rose, chamomile, etc.) to boiling water will only improve the effect of the steam bath.

Natural masks at home

Pumpkin mask: perfectly tones, cleanses and nourishes the skin. To prepare the mask, the pumpkin must be peeled and grated. Add a teaspoon of honey and raw yolk. Apply the resulting mixture to a previously cleansed face, put a gauze napkin on top to improve the action of the mask. Action time: 15-20 minutes, after the expiration of this product, wash off the mask with warm water and apply a nourishing cream on your face. The mask is suitable for all skin types.

Banana mask: oddly enough, but the well-known banana is a source of many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that fight aging. That is why it is good to use it in personal care products. The banana mask is one of the simplest: just take half of this fruit, knead it, add 2 tablespoons of sour cream or yogurt, then apply on your face for 15-20 minutes and rinse with warm water. The effect of this mask will pleasantly surprise you.


Autumn is the most fertile time to visit the salon: after all, procedures that, for one reason or another, cannot be done in summer, are recommended in autumn, when the sun is no longer so active.

In the first place are, of course, procedures for deep cleansing of the skin - various peels, including chemical. Why? In summer, we cannot afford deep cleansing of the skin, as there is a high risk of getting pigment spots as a result of the procedure, which will be very difficult to cope with later. However, professional skin cleansing is essential to maintain youth and beauty. Therefore, peels are postponed until the onset of the first cold weather, provided that at this time you do not decide to give up somewhere to the resort.


In addition to peels, in the fall, procedures for skin whitening, getting rid of age spots, without injection mesotherapy are shown.

Non-injection mesotherapy copes well with problems such as tired skin. With the help of this procedure, you can restore the skin to a healthy and well-groomed appearance, fill it with oxygen, and nourish it.

Very useful in autumn massage faces. In addition to improving blood flow and rejuvenating the skin, the massage also prepares the skin for the onset of frost. The fact is that in winter our skin often suffers from peeling - massage helps to cope with this problem in advance, preparing our face for serious temperature changes.

Proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle

In addition to skin care procedures, do not forget about proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle in the fall - eat more plant foods, remember about the drinking regimen (at least 2 liters a day of plain, still water, less fatty foods). Lifestyle and nutrition primarily affect our health and appearance. Therefore, it is so important to spend time in the fresh air in autumn, play sports and go to bed on time, because the "beauty hormone" melotonin is produced at night - strictly from 12 to 2 o'clock.
