Double cleansing, serum and mask: an intensive routine (and another basic) to prepare the skin in autumn

Dryer, with more wrinkles, perhaps even with marked flaccidity... It's how the skin of the face can be after the summer.

Above all, as Estrella Pujol, beautician and owner of the Oxigen center in Barcelona points out, "when the skin has been exposed a lot to the elements -water, wind, sun, etc.- without treating it afterwards; it is then likely that it will feel and look drier and therefore, existing wrinkles become more visible.

Repairing this damage and welcoming the new season with open arms and perfect, youthful skin involves the use of certain active ingredients that work as a shock cure, but also by not neglecting the classic daily beauty routine.

A complete facial routine to 'embrace' autumn

Regardless of the concerns of each specific skin (spots, loss of firmness, lack of luminosity), for the most constant and conscientious, Estrella Pujol proposes some general steps to follow to recover a summer face and adapt it to autumn.

In the morning:

At night:

Besides. Pujol recommends, as a reinforcement, and every two weeks to perform a gentle mechanical exfoliation to help skin cell renewal.

On the other hand, the expert believes that "if there is any time when the skin demands the use of intensive masks, this is it, so we recommend completing the facial routines with the application of two or three moisturizing masks a week."

A minimalist routine for the lazy or those who don't have time

There are options for less constant skin or for those who do not like to extend themselves in their facial care, a basic but effective routine.

In this way, morning care would be simplified to:

And, at night, double cleansing and hydration.

A final recommendation from Pujol: "For this type of client, it is important to focus on the fact that both cleansers and treatment creams have to cover the maximum of their needs - that they have extra ingredients that would otherwise be included in the serums, for example- so that those beauty gestures contribute to a noticeable change in a few weeks of treatment".
