Just as the seasons shift, so should your skincare routine. After all, the weather isn't static, so your routine should ebb and flow accordingly. As we transition from sun-drenched summer days into the crisp air of fall, your skin begins to face a new set of challenges. We’re talking lower humidity levels, brisker temperatures, and even more time spent indoors can all conspire to leave skin feeling parched, dull, or breakout-prone.
A fall-friendly regimen should focus on gently sweeping away the buildup of summer while layering on hydration to replenish what the cooler climate takes away. With a few thoughtful tweaks, you can help your skin stay balanced, radiant, and resilient all season long.
1. Reduce Your Risk of Cold Weather Breakouts
Summertime often causes acne flare-ups since the heat and humidity result in a higher rate of oil and sweat production. This clogs the pores and causes breakouts. Because of this, it’s often thought that cooler weather brings relief from acne. Unfortunately, cold weather acne is all too common.
With the harsh autumnal winds, lower temperatures, and reduced humidity, your skin’s lipid layer can suffer from dehydration. Since the lipid layer helps protect the skin and maintain its resiliency, it can increase the risk of acne if it is damaged.
You can reduce your risk of developing cold weather acne by gently exfoliating your skin. Our Black Pearl Resurfacing Serum features KNESKO's proprietary Advanced Resurfacing Complex, which contains a blend of AHAs and deep hydrators to slough and plump simultaneously.
2. Switch to a Gentler Cleanser
Your skin will naturally begin to produce less oil as the cooler temperatures set in. Because of this, it isn’t necessary to use an intense, foaming cleanser. Instead, look for a sulfate-free cleanser that doesn’t produce much lather. For additional moisturizing, another option to consider is a cream-based cleansing lotion that’s pH-balanced for your skin.

3. Proactively Combat Dry Skin
As temperatures drop and indoor heating begins to strip away moisture, your skin craves deeper hydration and nourishment. Here’s where you can really let KNESKO’s collagen hydrogel masks become an essential part of your fall ritual.
Infused with a unique triple-helix structure, they deliver up to ten times more serum than traditional sheet masks, flooding skin with restorative ingredients like peptides and antioxidants. Layering one into your weekly routine—followed by a rich, ceramide-fortified moisturizer—creates a protective cocoon that keeps skin supple, soothed, and radiant, no matter how harsh the season feels.
4. Continue to Use Products With SPF
Many people stop being conscientious about using sun protective factors (SPF) when the summer months fade. However, it’s critical to remember that the sun’s rays aren’t affected by temperature—they will continue to damage the skin year-round! That said, it’s essential to use an SPF product on exposed skin every time you head outdoors—regardless of what time of year it is. Remember to reapply sunscreen every couple of hours, too.
5. Soothe Skin with Calming Ingredients
Seasonal shifts can also trigger sensitivity, redness, and irritation. Incorporating calming ingredients into your fall routine helps restore balance and comfort. Our innovative, award-winning Green Jade Calm Collection is specifically designed to quiet stressed skin while nurturing the spirit. Powered by hydrating probiotics, seaweed, tiger grass (centella asiatica), hyaluronic acid, and soothing botanical extracts, each mask quickly soothes skin.
6. Don’t Forget Body Care
Your body feels the effects of crisp air and blustery weather, too. Areas like the neck, décolleté, arms, and legs are especially prone to dryness as humidity drops. KNESKO’s Gold Repair Body Serum and Body Cream offers a luxurious way to replenish lost moisture while visibly firming and strengthening the skin barrier. Infused with real gold, restorative peptides, and hydrating actives, this high-performance formula doubles as a ritual of self-care, leaving your skin radiant, supple, and ready to embrace the season.
Long story short: By leaning into hydration, soothing ingredients, and intentional rituals, you can help your complexion transition smoothly from summer’s heat to fall’s crisp climate. And with just a few thoughtful adjustments, your fall routine becomes not only protective and restorative, but also a luxurious ritual of self-care.
