Beauty item recommendations to take care of dry skin this autumn

 

Since my entire body, from my face to my hair and body, tends to be dry, I pay the most attention to moisturizing. Due to the nature of my job, I place particular emphasis on hair condition; because my hair is unusually dry and frizzy, applying a conditioner after shampooing is a given, and I also make sure to apply a leave-in conditioner after towel-drying. I frequently use coconut oil during autumn and winter, which are exceptionally dry compared to other seasons. Applying coconut oil to wet hair like a hair essence provides a level of nourishment that surpasses even that of a hair serum. It can be used in various ways; you can mix it with lotion and apply it to your body, or lightly roll it in instead of cleansing oil or balm and finish with a foam cleanser.

 

 

 

For dry skin, autumn signals the time to re-evaluate your usual skincare routine. While there are various ways to refine skin texture, body products that can be used while showering are preferred. Nuvec's body scrub mixes particles of varying sizes, such as sugar and rice flour, to ensure the formula reaches uneven surfaces. It provides a temporary warming effect while exfoliating, allowing you to relieve accumulated fatigue through a warm compress during your shower. Containing naturally derived moisturizing ingredients like Jeju starflower and agave honey, it leaves a long-lasting hydrated finish without the need for separate creams or oils.

 

 

 

 

As I have extremely dry skin, I incorporate oil-based skincare and inner beauty products into my routine. I mix Chanel’s Brightening Facial Oil, Chanel Le Blanc Huile, with Esthederm Excellage Camellia Elixir Oil, which replenishes skin elasticity, and apply it to the skin. Its light finish makes it comfortable to apply in the morning. Also, around this time of year, I feel my energy levels drop rapidly, so I take an energy boost regularly to quickly revitalize myself. I usually couldn't take energy boosters because they caused heartburn, but after trying Barneys New York Beauty, I have settled on this brand. Since it is available in separate morning and evening versions, I recommend using the one that suits your needs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since dry skin causes enlarged pores and consequently leads to a loss of elasticity, I tend to pay more attention than usual to my skincare and sleep quality during this transitional season. As I have oily skin, I add a lightweight collagen gel product to my daily routine that provides both hydration and nourishment. I exercise regularly, and with the weather recently cooling down, I have been mainly engaging in outdoor activities such as cycling and walking. I see the full benefits of the collagen gel during these times as well, thanks to its ability to quickly soothe the heat sensation on my skin after a workout. Also, keenly realizing the importance of restful sleep, I go to bed at 10 PM at least three times a week; applying the collagen gel before falling asleep allows me to enjoy skin soothing, hydration, and exfoliation effects.

 

 

 

 

As I age, I can feel my skin thinning and losing its firmness with every change of season. My skin looks particularly rough, or it feels like even wrinkles that weren't there before become more prominent. When this happens, I make a slight change to my daily skincare routine. Since using highly concentrated products in the morning tends to cause makeup to smudge, I avoid products with overly heavy textures and primarily use essences, serums, and creams with a light, refreshing texture. At this time, I lightly apply a stick-type multi-balm to dry areas prone to wrinkles, such as around the mouth and eyes. If I still feel inner dryness even after using the multi-balm, I apply a highly concentrated essence or serum for my night care and finish with a light cream.

 

 

 

 

 

For me, autumn and winter are seasons where I can freely use diverse and deep colors. In particular, I often enjoy the autumn mood through accent lips. The style involves pairing deep-colored clothes with a clean complexion and layering a matte, deep-colored lip on top. The key here is the clean skin finish. By establishing a base with a combination of NARS Light Reflecting Toner, Clé de Peau Beauté Brightening Serum, and Drunk Elephant's Lala Whipping Cream, and finishing by gently patting on the NARS cushion, famous for its inner glow, you can achieve a clean complexion that makes the lips stand out.

 

 

 

 

 

These days, I relieve various types of stress with gua sha massages. I select a gua sha tool that suits my condition that day, and among them, I prefer Decorté for the face and Choimona for the body. Turning on my favorite YouTube videos and massaging my face, trapezius muscles, and calves helps relieve the day's fatigue. After the massage, I first apply an antioxidant serum with ascorbic acid as its main ingredient, and finish with a hydrating serum. However, on dry days like these, I add facial oil. You might wonder about oil for oily skin, but sebum and facial oil are actually in completely different categories. In fact, sebum tends to explode when the skin's balance is disrupted, so I use a moderate amount of oil to lightly control sebum.
