With the days getting shorter and the weather getting slightly cooler, our skin begins to feel the effects of the changing seasons. Here are some tips to help you up your skin care game and prepare and protect your skin for the autumn season.
Cleansing in the morning and the evening is equally important. This is so that the skin can work 100% correctly in its task of protection. Cleansing in the morning with Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream serves to activate and awaken the skin, whereas cleansing in the evening with Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk, or our new Cleansing Balm, effectively removes pollution, sweat and impurities that have settled on the surface of the skin.
After cleansing in the morning and evening, mist Dr. Hauschka Facial Toner evenly onto the face, neck and décolleté then gently press into the skin. This is a highly beneficial product to use. The healing ingredients of Anthyllis and Witch Hazel in the liquid emulsion are absorbed quickly.
Do you need to alter your day care with the Seasons?
Yes, that may well be the case. Many people use the cooling Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Cream or Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream Light in the warmer months and change to a more protective and warming Dr.Hauschka Rose Day Cream in the cooler months. Check in with your skin, see how it’s feeling and change to a more protective day care if need be.
If you are living in KZN, you would need to choose your day cream according to your skin condition. We know the humidity is high so a lighter texture day cream may be suitable however, air conditioning can certainly dry out one’s skin, if this is where you spend most of your day.
As the weather changes, it is important to protect the skin from harsh environmental influences. Dr Hauschka Night Serum or Dr. Hauschka Regenerating Oil Serum Intensive are highly concentrated and absorb quickly and are ideal under a day cream. They offer long lasting nourishment and improving resilience in the skin.
For lips in need of a little extra care as we move into Autumn, Dr. Hauschka’s Lip Balm’s rich texture works to soothe and repair dry, cracked lips as well as providing extra protection against harsher weather conditions. Dr. Hauschka’s Lip Care Stick also softens and offers protection for lips prone to dryness. This is the practical companion for silky soft lips while out.
At night-time Dr. Hauschka Renewing Night Conditioner is the ultimate gift for your skin at this time of year. Did you know that our skin cells renew once every 28 days?
Mirroring this same regenerative cycle as the skin, Dr. Hauschka Renewing Night Conditioner should be used for 28 days in place of a toner and serum of your choice. It lets your skin breathe freely, normalises skin function and re-stimulates its natural renewal processes. This is a TREASURE in the Dr. Hauschka range, and it is a MUST HAVE four times a year (at the change of season), or after or during a stressful time in ones life. It’s a real BOOST for your skin and increases the hydration levels.
