Fall may be one of my favorite seasons of all time, but it’s actually my skin’s least favorite. The dip in temperatures and the fluctuating humidity are a nightmare for my skin as it tries to adjust to the chillier weather and brisker winds. Throughout the years, though, I’ve come up with a foolproof skincare routine that’s helped me maintain my glowing and healthy skin! Read on to see my autumn skincare essentials! 

1. COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad

Toning one of the most important steps in any skincare routine. I’ve found that the toner that I use makes such a huge difference on the overall texture of my skin, and it also affects how well all other subsequent products are absorbed. These toning pads from COSRX are super easy to use, since they’re already pre-soaked in toner, and the formula is gentle enough to use on acne-prone and sensitive skin. What I love most about these pads is how quickly they help soothe any irritated bumps or blemishes. Another great perk is that it’s super affordable!

2. Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream

If there’s any one product that I swear by, it’s definitely this protective cream from Avène! Seriously, if I’m only allowed to have one skincare product in my medicine cabinet, it will be this cream! Originally created by dermatologists as a skincare product for patients recovering from cosmetic surgery, this rich and protective cream helps to restore and promote optimal skin recovery. It’s super gentle and absolutely perfect for sensitive skin. As someone with mild eczema and rosacea, this cream helps to soothe any redness and irritation almost overnight.

3. Lancôme Hydra Zen Gel Moisturizer

This is one of my favorite oil-free moisturizers! In comparison to heavier moisturizers that just sit on top of your skin, this gel formula is perfect because you can actually feel your skin absorbing it. The moisturizer is also great at soothing stressed and tired skin, and I’ve noticed a reduction in redness and dullness when using it! 

4. Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

And of course, we can’t forget masks! This sleeping mask from Laneige is one of my favorites, and I’ve been using it religiously for the last five or six years, since it’s super convenient to use, and it also delivers amazing results! While the texture of this mask is thick and gel-like, it never clogs my pores at all. To use the mask, apply an even layer onto your skin after going through your normal nighttime skincare routine. And that’s it! The morning after I use the mask, my skin always looks so healthy, radiant, and hydrated, as if I drank a gallon of water overnight!

And that wraps up my favorite fall skincare items! What’re some of your holy grail products?
