Autumn beauty reset: skincare and haircare routines

As the autumn season begins, experts suggest a coordinated skincare and haircare reset to counteract the effects of summer exposure, such as sun, salt, and chlorine.

For skincare, the focus is on gentle exfoliation using PHAs, lactobionic acid, or low-percentage mandelic acid to promote cell turnover without irritation. Recommended active ingredients include stabilized vitamin C and ferulic acid for brightening, retinoids or bakuchiol for nighttime renewal, and niacinamide to strengthen the skin barrier. Hydration can be maintained through multi-weight hyaluronic acid and creams containing ceramides and cholesterol.

For haircare, the priority is scalp health to support natural hair regrowth and density. The use of leave-on treatments, such as The Ordinary’s Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density, is highlighted. This formula utilizes peptides, caffeine, and botanical extracts to nourish the scalp and help hair appear thicker and healthier over time.
