Hi lovelies, I’m Ashley from BloomBoom. 🍂 Fall is my favorite season—cozy sweaters, crisp air, and those quiet mornings sipping tea by the window. But every October, I used to notice something not-so-cozy: my skin felt tight, dry, and like it was begging for a reset.
Fall invites us to slow down and nurture ourselves, but our skin doesn’t always get the memo. As summer fades and heaters hum, your skin might feel dry, oily, or just… off. Today, I’m sharing my favorite fall skincare tips—one simple, thoughtful swap for every skin type to keep your glow thriving all season —because the small changes you make now weave a radiant story for your skin later.
Why Fall Skincare Tips Matter for Every Skin Type
It’s all about the shift:
Cooler air means less humidity, leaving skin parched.
Heaters and wind weaken your skin’s barrier, causing flakes or irritation.
Fall allergies (hello ragweed pollen) can spark redness and sensitivity.
Seasonal habits—like sipping less water or forgetting SPF—also play a role.
One of my clients once told me her cheeks got so red every fall her friends thought it was blush—it was actually her skin reacting to the season! Remember: your skin isn’t failing you, it’s just whispering for extra love.
Fall Skincare Swaps by Skin Type
✨ Dry Skin: Swap lotion for a rich cream or ointment (think batana oil or a balm). It’s like wrapping your face in a cashmere blanket. Pair it with a creamy cleanser—something honey-based works beautifully.
✨ Oily Skin: Swap to a gentle gel cleanser with tea tree or aloe. Dry air can actually trick oily skin into producing more oil. A hydrating toner helps, but the cleanser swap is your game-changer.
✨ Combination Skin: Moisturize in zones: a lightweight lotion for your T-zone, a richer cream for dry cheeks. Think of it as dressing your face for fall—light scarf here, warm coat there.
✨ Normal Skin: Swap to a light cream with ceramides or squalane. This keeps dryness at bay before it sneaks in. Apply after a warm shower to seal in hydration.
✨ Sensitive Skin: Swap to a gentle cream moisturizer with oat or centella. Scale back exfoliation and always patch-test new products on your wrist before using.
✨ Aging or Textured Skin: Add lipid support—keep your retinol or peptides, but pair with rosehip oil or a richer night cream. Massage it in gently to soften lines and boost circulation.
Your Fall Anchor: Barrier Cream
No matter your skin type, a barrier cream is your fall anchor. Think of it as your skin’s shield against dryness, heaters, and wind. Look for ingredients like ceramides, petrolatum, or squalane.
Pro tip: when applying, use gentle upward strokes along your cheeks, jaw, and neck. It’s a mindful ritual—almost like wrapping your skin in a cozy shield.
Inside-Out Support
Sip more water or calming teas like chamomile or rooibos.
Use a humidifier by your bedside to put moisture back into the air.
Remove makeup or sunscreen earlier in the evening to give your skin extra repair time.
These small practices don’t just support your skin—they create a rhythm that grounds you in fall’s shift.
Fall FAQ: Your Top 3 Questions
Do I need SPF in fall? Yes! UVA rays penetrate through clouds and windows all year.
Do I need a whole new routine? Nope. Just one smart swap keeps your skin glowing.
Can I still layer products? Absolutely. Keep it simple: cleanse, treat, moisturize, SPF. In cooler months, layer a hydrating serum under your cream.
