As the seasons change, so do our skin care habits. Fall brings a lot of great changes, including cooler weather, changing leaves, bonfires, and pumpkin-flavored foods, but it’s not always the kindest to our skin. Problems such as dry or dehydrated skin (here it is differences), increased sensitivity, eczema and psoriasis flare-ups, rough skin, and hyperpigmentation are all common skin concerns this time of year. Because of this, many skin care products that work well in the summer may not have the same effect in cooler climates.
The girls at Renee Rouleau Skincare are just like anyone else when it comes to experiencing seasonal skin changes. Therefore, I decided to ask them about the problems they face every fall. Here are their opinions and my suggestions for dealing with them.
Lexi: In-house esthetician
dryness under the eyes
Lexi (skin type 6) may spend days Get your skincare questions answered via chat, email, and My Skin Rx virtual consultationBut even the most savvy skin care experts face seasonal changes in their skin. For Lexi, this manifests itself as extreme dryness, especially in the under-eye area. This is usually caused by a combination of factors. When the air becomes a little dry, many people begin to suffer from autumn allergies, and the eyes often become swollen. This swelling stretches the skin tissue under the eyes and puts pressure on the skin’s natural barrier. Over time, this pressure can cause small cracks to form, allowing moisture to escape and worsening the dryness.
One solution I suggest is to gently exfoliate the skin under your eyes. Farm+Repair Overnight Serum. This removes dead skin cells and improves moisture absorption. After exfoliating, apply a moisturizing eye cream such as: total eye repair cream, is beneficial in adding moisture back to the area. Additionally, makeup provides an extra layer of protection. Foundation and concealer are your last line of defense to keep your skin hydrated. Keep in mind that moisturizers tend to evaporate throughout the day, so layering makeup over top can help retain valuable moisture.

skin prone to inflammation
The holidays are just around the corner, and it’s the time of year when you want to take control of your skin the most in preparation for special family gatherings, work events, and New Year’s kisses, but your skin may have other things on its mind. there is. Ella (skin type 3) Like many other people, my skin becomes sensitive during the fall, including redness and sensitivity. This can be due to several factors, but a key factor is lower humidity levels in the fall. When the air is dry, the skin has a harder time retaining moisture, which can compromise the skin barrier and increase inflammation.
For people like Ella, who tend to have rough skin, this dry air is not a problem. The skin’s function decreases, moisture escapes and cracks form, making the skin more sensitive and irritable. To combat this problem, we recommend switching to products that provide comfort and hydration, such as: Phytolipid Comfort Cream and Redness care firming serum.

rough skin
Have you ever experienced small bumps on your skin that are different from your usual pimples? This is Jill (skin quality 5) Treat it once in a while after the summer – after all, Pimples are most common in the fall.The reason behind this issue is as follows A layer of dead cells accumulates on the surface of the skin. These dead cells trap oil (and bacteria) below the surface. Trapped oil and bacteria prevent oxygen from entering the pores. From there, C. acnes Bacteria grows and pimples occur.
Stepping up your exfoliation is essential to combat rough skin, especially in the fall. In the summer, the humidity increases sebum production, and your skin gets used to this level of oil. But when the air cools, your skin continues to produce oil but doesn’t release it as quickly, trapping it in your pores and creating those pesky bumps. To combat this, it’s best to incorporate physical exfoliants such as: triple berry smoothing scrub Use twice a week to keep skin smooth and smooth.

This is because people with eczema are genetically more prone to skin irritation, dryness, and irritation. Although everyone’s skin is different, there are some common triggers that can cause irritation, including cold, dry weather, intense heat or humidity, allergens like dust mites and pollen, harsh soaps, and rough clothing materials like wool. .
Eczema is characterized by chronic inflammation, so the main goal is to support the moisture barrier and keep the skin calm. We recommend using a sulfate-free cleanser for Lizzy. Look for moisturizing gels and cream cleansers. Cleansing emulsion with vitamins. These types of cleansers are gentle on the skin and help maintain skin’s moisture balance while avoiding potential irritants.
Casey: Purchasing Manager
hyperpigmentation
As summer draws to a close, Casey (skin type 6) and many others are starting to realize the harsh effects that countless days of sun exposure have had on their skin. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Casey for quite some time (nearly 8 years to be exact!). If there’s one thing I know about her, it’s that she’s diligent about wearing her sunscreen. But we live in Austin. That means escaping the scorching Texas sun is nearly impossible. This is why it’s not surprising that her pigment cells tend to become inflamed, and in her case it happens in the following ways: melasma (One of four types of hyperpigmentation).
To address hyperpigmentation, we recommend a three-pronged approach. First, exfoliate and dissolve dead skin cells using products such as: Triple berry smoothing peel and scrub. This reveals fresher, more even-toned skin. Next, fade and brighten the dark spots with products containing melanin-suppressing ingredients, such as: Vitamin C&E treatment. Finally, regular application protects your skin from further damage. Sunscreenthis is essential to prevent existing hyperpigmentation from worsening.
