How To Look After Your Skin During Autumn
The leaves are changing colour, the temperatures are dropping and limited edition hot drinks are available everywhere – autumn has officially arrived! While it’s instinctive to switch up your wardrobe at this time of year and trade in your summer dress for a cosy jumper, you should also think about how to adapt your skincare routine to the changing weather too.
How Cold Weather Affects Your Complexion
Over the last few weeks, you may have noticed a few changes to your skin as a result of the temperature dropping. Perhaps your skin feels dry just a few hours after applying your moisturiser, or maybe you've noticed few unwelcome spots popping up or unwanted lines appearing around your eyes.

Don’t Ditch SPF
SPF isn’t just for summer – our skin can be damaged by UV rays all year round so this is a skincare product you should never swap out. The only difference between SPF in autumn to SPF in August is how often you need to apply it. If you’re spending most of your time indoors, you probably don’t need to worry about topping up, but if you’re going to be outside, you’ll want to refresh your SPF every few hours!

I'm someone who loves getting glammed up, but I feel like I never have enough time. Frequently running between work, the gym and seeing friends means my makeup routine is quick and often touched up on the go. Therefore, beauty products that serve as multi-purpose are perfect for me - a blush that works for cheeks and lips is a must in my makeup bag!
