Autumn skin care

It’s time for a wardrobe change—and a toiletry bag change too! It’s time to talk about autumn skincare. Just as you pack away your swimwear, summer dresses, and sandals to make room for coats and wool garments, you must update your cosmetic routine to dress your skin according to the weather conditions.

CHANGES IN THE SKIN IN AUTUMN

The skin changes in autumn. A lot. And the paleness that emerges as the last traces of your tan disappear is not the only sign. Do you want to know everything that happens to your skin in autumn? The list is long:

• Spots that have been developing under the sun begin to appear.





• Excessive UV radiation also causes an increase in wrinkles—especially around the eye area—and a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for skin firmness.





• Pollution also starts to take its toll, causing a lack of radiance and clogged pores, preventing the skin from oxygenating properly and leading to the dull, sallow tone typical of the season.





• The skin becomes more sensitive as a result of the cold and sudden temperature changes.





• The cold also causes the skin to dehydrate and become much drier. It is not uncommon for it to feel tight.





• If you have acne, the truce signed by the summer sun comes to an end, and it is common to start the season with a breakout.

HOW TO CARE FOR OUR SKIN IN AUTUMN?

In summer, we know clearly that we must increase sun protection, and in winter, we know that nourishing and protecting the skin from the cold is the best gesture… but during transitional periods, it isn't as clear.

At Beldon, we explain your specific needs and the autumn skincare steps you should consider in a personalized way.

It is time to try to counteract the harmful effects of summer solar radiation, such as the appearance of premature wrinkles and pigmentation alterations that manifest as spots of various sizes and locations (face, décolletage, hands, etc.). Both in autumn and winter, it is advisable to perform a general intensive care tune-up regarding: nutrition, hydration, depigmentation, antioxidant products, and anti-glycation.

A gentle but deep cleanse, morning and night!

The skin is slightly more sensitive, and while you shouldn’t neglect cleansing, you must choose gentler formulas that respect the hydrolipidic mantle that protects our skin against external aggressions such as the sun, pollution, heating, temperature changes, and the cold...

To do this, use a cleanser suitable for your skin type, followed by a toner that helps balance the pH to achieve a balance between the oil and water content of your skin, leaving it fresh and prepared for the subsequent application of active ingredients.

Skin regeneration

This is the magic word you should look for on the label of your transitional skincare products. The goal is to renew and regenerate the skin while recovering from the damage produced during the summer. We achieve this with anti-glycation products that reverse the negative effects of sun exposure, such as the loss of collagen and elastin, and depending on the skin's condition, ingredients like epidermal growth factor become an indisputable ally.

Anti-spot active ingredients

You will need these if you weren’t particularly diligent with sun protection. Licorice extract, ferulic acid, glycolic acid, niacinamide… there are as many as there are types of spots. Therefore, an initial assessment is important to achieve the best results.

Sun protection

Even now, especially if you are following an anti-spot treatment. Ultraviolet radiation is present all year round, so we must not forget sunscreen. Some products also have a very broad protective shield, including anti-pollution, anti-digital light (so often discussed now due to the rise of remote work), and antioxidant properties...

Brightening ingredients

Vitamin C is a classic, but there are others like niacinamide and resveratrol.

Extra hydration for the skin

Switching from a ‘light’ to a ‘rich’ version is the best option, and many products offer these variants. But in general terms, you should know that night cream should be richer at this time of year, as the skin’s repair cycle occurs from 11 PM to 4 AM, and the skin is more receptive to all the products we apply.

Oils—it’s the best time

These are ideal for nourishing and strengthening the skin. Either add a few drops to your cream or use it as a standalone product at night. You will wake up with supple, juicy skin.

Time for peels

Essential for renewing the skin and treating scars, wrinkles, spots, acne, and irregularities.

Masks, two or three times a week

Oxygenating, brightening, nourishing, sebum-regulating, illuminating… It’s time to make frequent use of them and include them in your autumn skincare routine.

Anti-pollution cosmetics

This is mandatory if you live in the city. It will help detoxify your skin and protect it from the heavy metals present in environmental pollution, smoke, and exhaust gases that generate free radicals, causing premature aging, sensitivity, or dehydration.

Use eye contour day and night

Both to erase the puffiness and dark circles typical of returning to the daily grind, and to reduce the fine lines that form around the eyes—which will have increased as a result of squinting in the sun. Keeping in mind that nowadays our eyes are the center of attention, we must take special care of this delicate area.

Use the night to your advantage

The skin is more receptive and calm, making it the perfect time to turn to more powerful, regenerative treatments.

Pamper your lips and hands

Don't forget them. The cold takes its toll by drying out these two areas of your body. Furthermore, the skin on the hands is an indicator of our chronological age.

CLINIC TREATMENTS TO PREPARE THE SKIN FOR THE CHANGE OF SEASON

DERMAPEN

At Beldon, we have this ‘magic wand’ for skin repair. It is a revolutionary microneedling device that induces collagen and stimulates the skin to activate its healing response, helping us with the synthesis of collagen and elastin, repairing it in depth.

In addition to this, it is the best vehicle to enhance the penetration of the active ingredients applied afterward. Its benefits are numerous:

• Stimulates collagen production to tighten the skin and combat sagging.





• Softens superficial wrinkles.





• Improves skin tone and texture.





• Minimizes acne scars.





• Reduces pore size.





• Combats spots.

We also customize all our protocols according to the needs of each skin type and the goals to be achieved, and the Dermapen treatment is no exception. We have 5 different cocktails of active ingredients that have resulted in five specific treatments with spectacular results:

• Designed to fill in wrinkles, redensify the skin, and inhibit contractions.





• Tightens the skin and visibly increases its firmness.





• Reduces hyperpigmentation and restores skin radiance.





• This is a specific treatment for the double chin that reduces fat in the area while firming and redefining the contour.





• Maximum hydration. It is carried out with hyaluronic acid to fill in wrinkle furrows and hydrate the skin intensely and lastingly.

The protocol, always subject to prior diagnosis, begins by preparing the skin with a customized peel, and finishes with the application of a repairing and regenerating facial mask. If necessary, it can be enhanced using LED light focused on each specific problem. Perfect for the autumn skincare you need!

VOLCANO LIFT

In addition to being firming, detoxifying, remineralizing, brightening, and hydrating, it is also indicated for the treatment of sensitive skin, soothing and nourishing it intensely, while also providing an incomparable sensory experience thanks to its aromatic cocktail and textures. The active ingredients are applied with a remodeling massage that provides an immediate "well-rested" effect, redefining the facial contour and brightening tired and dull skin.

It consists of three phases:

1. Prelude: The skin is deeply cleansed and a peel with alpha-amino acids is performed, which provides the benefits of alpha-hydroxy acids without any of their contraindications, thereby preparing the skin and promoting the penetration of the active ingredients. If necessary, we would perform extractions.





2. Treatment: Next, we apply the activated charcoal and volcanic glass mask, which will strengthen the skin's protection, revitalize, detoxify, and leave the skin with a supple texture.





3. Final step: A remodeling massage is performed, which will help us activate circulation and thus increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients, redefine contours, and eliminate toxins.

The result is skin that is uniform, retextured, and free of toxins. In addition, the facial oval is redefined, pore size is reduced, signs of aging, fatigue, and stress are diminished, and luminosity is increased.

Do not underestimate transitional seasons and keep these autumn skincare tips in mind. The skin is especially vulnerable to changes and needs specific care. Shall we talk in winter?
