Your Easy Fall Skincare Guide

As the crisp autumn air settles in, there’s so much to look forward to — whether it’s the joy of long runs through vibrant fall foliage, the excitement of getting lost in a corn maze, or the thrill of tailgating at a football game. What we don’t love so much? Dry, red, inflamed skin thanks to the changes in weather combined with hot showers and harsh, heated indoor air.

"The transition from summer to fall brings cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels, which can lead to dehydrated skin,” says Marquita Newton, a pro esthetician at The Spa at Equinox. As a result, your skin becomes drier and more prone to irritation, especially when you’re not giving it the extra TLC it needs.

In other words, autumn is a great time to reboot your skincare routine to better suit the weather changes, and it doesn’t have to be rocket science. Here, Newton shares her best tips to keep your complexion glowing and healthy with the right products, ingredients, and treatments.
