Every September my skin files a complaint. Nothing dramatic, just tight cheeks, flaky patches around my nose, and lipstick that suddenly clings to every dry spot. The fix is not a whole new routine. It is swapping four or five things for their heavier cousins and letting the rest ride.
CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream with Shea Butter
The summer lotion goes in the cabinet and this comes out. It is thick without being greasy, the tub lasts forever, and I use it on my face at night and my elbows year round. Not glamorous. Just works.
Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum
One thing nobody tells you is that hydrating serums need something on top or they can leave you drier than before. On damp skin, then cream over it, and my face stops feeling tight by mid-morning.
Good Molecules Squalane Oil
Two drops pressed over moisturizer on the nights my skin is really unhappy. It sinks in instead of sitting there, so I can put it on and still get in bed like a normal person.
Aveeno Calm and Restore Nourishing Oat Face Cleanser
My summer cleanser was quietly stripping me. This one takes off sunscreen without that squeaky feeling, and the squeaky feeling was most of my problem.
Burt’s Bees Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment
Fall lips are the first thing to go for me. This goes on thick at night and by morning I can wear a matte lipstick again without it flaking off in patches.
