The change of season tests your skin without you noticing. Summer was about lightness and protection; as autumn approaches, skin begins to ask for more lipids that nourish, and care that strengthens the barrier before the colder months. The transition doesn't call for reinventing your whole routine.

Usually one or two considered steps are enough: 

• A lighter texture in the morning that hydrates without any heaviness;
• A richer cream in the evening that does its restoring work while you sleep;
• A light oil adds glow and softness;
• A barrier-supporting cream keeps moisture where it's needed.

One thing doesn't change with the season: UV. Keep your SPF going into the cooler months too.

That's how skin reaches autumn balanced and soft, without the transition ever making itself felt.
