Autumn skincare: how to prepare your skin for the change of season with phytocosmetics

After months of sun, sea, and days spent outdoors, autumn skin often appears dull, dehydrated, and lined . UV rays, salt water, chlorine from swimming pools, and summer winds can compromise the skin's barrier, leaving us with a less radiant complexion. For this reason, the change of season is the ideal time to revisit your skincare routine, choosing targeted treatments that will guide your skin through the colder months.

The philosophy of Claride Fitocosmesi is based precisely on this: combining the power of natural ingredients with advanced cosmetic research , offering effective and delicate solutions for all skin types.

1. Why does skin change with the arrival of autumn?

With the end of summer, the skin goes through a real transition phase . Some of the most common changes are:

• Dehydration : caused by prolonged sun exposure and transepidermal water loss.
• Skin thickening : The skin protects itself from the sun by thickening, but this leads to a dull complexion.
• Skin blemishes and discolorations : UV rays stimulate melanin, promoting the appearance of dark marks.
• Increased sensitivity : The sun weakens the skin's natural defenses, making it more vulnerable to redness and irritation.
• First wrinkles or signs of photoaging : due to the action of free radicals.

👉 This is why it's not enough to continue with the same summer skincare routine: you need a routine aimed at renewal and deep nourishment .

2. Exfoliation: the first step to regenerate the skin

Exfoliation is essential to eliminate dead cells and restore radiance.
Natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are perfect because:

• stimulate cell turnover,
• make the skin more uniform and compact,
• they reduce small post-summer spots and discolorations,
• improve the absorption of subsequent treatments.

Claride Fitocosmesi's 5% AHA Cream is designed for gentle exfoliation, even for sensitive skin. Regular use prepares skin for the first cold spells with a fresh, vibrant appearance.

3. Hydration and nourishment: the key to autumn

After summer, the skin needs intense nourishment .
Claride moisturizing creams, enriched with natural ingredients such as aloe vera, mallow and jojoba , are formulated to:

• restore the compromised hydrolipidic film ,
• soothe irritation and redness ,
• counteract the dryness typical of the cold months,
• give elasticity and softness to the face and body.

💡 A practical tip: replace the lighter summer cream with a more full-bodied texture , which protects better from external aggressions.

4. Phytocosmetic ingredients that make the difference

The power of phytocosmetics lies in the synergy between plants and natural extracts. Claride Phytocosmetics treatments contain select ingredients such as:

• Aloe vera : hydrating, healing, and regenerating. Perfect for rebalancing skin after sun exposure, you can find it in our Physiological Compensator and in various products from our sun care line.
• Mallow : emollient and calming, ideal for red or stressed skin. It is one of the key ingredients, along with Aloe, in our Hydrissima Cream .
• Jojoba : A vegetable oil similar to skin sebum, it regulates and protects without weighing down. You can find it in the Purifying Cream for oily skin or the Hydrating Foot Cream .
• Green tea : a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals and premature aging. It's the star of our Green Tea Eye Contour Gel Cream .
• Hyaluronic acid : retains water in the skin, improving firmness and elasticity. It is the main active ingredient that gives our Hydrissima face cream its name.

These natural active ingredients transform your daily routine into a ritual of well-being and regeneration.

5. Sun protection: not just in summer

A common mistake is to abandon sunscreen when autumn arrives.
In fact, UV rays continue to hit your skin even on the coolest, cloudiest days.

👉 Using a day cream with UVA/UVB filters is essential to prevent new blemishes and keep skin looking younger for longer. This is why Claride offers its Anti-Aging Face Sunscreen SPF 50 High Protection for all skin types , a specific solution that combines very high protection and hydration, suitable for daily use.

6. Complete routine for the change of seasons

Here is a typical recommended routine with Claride products:

1. Gentle cleansing with a natural cleanser that respects the hydrolipidic film.
2. Exfoliation with AHA (1-2 times a week).
3. Liposomal serum with hyaluronic acid to restore elasticity.
4. Hydrissima cream with mallow and jojoba to maintain the right level of hydration.
5. Lightweight sunscreen for use even in autumn.
6. Evening treatment with a rich cream or regenerating mask for overnight recovery.

7. Extra tips for radiant skin this fall

• Drink plenty of water : hydration from within is essential.
• Eat a diet rich in seasonal fruits and vegetables : grapes, apples, pomegranates, and pumpkins are rich in antioxidants.
• Don't forget your body : even your legs and arms need nourishment after the summer.
• Stay consistent : A regular routine makes a difference in the long run.

The change of season is a delicate but precious moment to renew the skin .
