Like we need to be more cautious of our health during change of seasons, our skin requires extra care during this period of time too. Sushmita Subedi, a beautician at The Beauty Bar Nepal, Naxal, says “It is extremely important to prepare our skin for the winters. You can start by slowly transitioning into winter skincare from your summer routine.”

The secret to healthy skin is a proper skincare routine that is followed every day. Consistency is key. Subedi shares with us the ideal skin care routine perfect for autumn:

Morning skin care:

• Use hydrating face wash to wash your face. The skin requires extra hydration, especially as the cold increases.
• To remove dirt and impurities still stuck to the skin after washing your face, use a toner.
• Use a good serum to protect your skin from radicals you are exposed to daily. Serums have antioxidants that help you to protect your skin from it.
• Due to the increasing cold, it is important to give our skin extra help in moisturization. Hydrating moisturizer is the best option for autumn seasons.
• Sunscreen is a must no matter what weather or season. It should always be a part of your skincare routine.
• Exfoliate your lips to prevent dry and chapped lips. Apply lip balm after to lock in the moisture.
• Hands get dry really quickly as winter approaches. To prevent dry and ashy hands, use hand cream regularly.
