As autumn approaches, experts recommend adjustments for personal health and home maintenance to address changing environmental conditions.

Dermatologists suggest transitioning from light summer moisturizers to richer creams containing ceramides to combat skin dryness caused by lower humidity and indoor heating. Recommendations include applying body lotion immediately after bathing and exercising caution with exfoliation to protect the skin barrier.

Recent expert commentary highlights the phenomenon of ‘autumn face,’ where skin becomes increasingly dry due to temperature fluctuations between heated indoor environments and cold outdoor air. This shift can damage the skin's hydrolipid film, resulting in itching, flaking, and irritation. To enhance moisture retention, specialists suggest using ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, squalane, shea butter, and natural oils. To further support skin health, experts recommend adding retinal, vitamin C, and niacinamide for revitalization, as well as peptides to support firmness.

In response to these seasonal needs, NIVEA has introduced a Repair & Care serum-lotion developed with dermatologists. The formula contains 12% glycerin, natural oils, and Centella Asiatica (CICA) to address dryness, roughness, itching, tightness, and irritation, aiming to provide up to 72 hours of hydration.

Regarding home maintenance, experts warn that drying laundry indoors can increase humidity and lead to mold growth or condensation. To mitigate these risks, it is suggested to ventilate rooms for 10–15 minutes after drying clothes, ensure air circulation behind furniture, and monitor humidity levels using a hygrometer.
