Autumn Skincare With Avène
As the leaves begin to change and the air takes on a slight chill, our thoughts start to turn to all things autumn. Suddenly, it’s time to say goodbye to those balmy summer evenings at the beach in favour of cosy evenings at home enjoying our autumn skin care routine.
But as the nights begin to draw in, the changing of the season can begin to play havoc with our skin. From breakouts and dryness to skin that looks a little lacklustre - it can be frustrating trying to regain balance again.
What causes dry skin in autumn?
During the summertime, the air is warm and carries humidity which keeps your skin moisturised without you even realising. But when the autumn and winter months arrive, so does the cold air which is dry. Thanks to this drop in humidity, your skin loses the natural moisture it tends to have over the warmer months. It’s heightened further using central heating within our homes: it can be tough and drying on your skin as you come inside from a cold, dry air environment to a forced warm, dry air environment.
Even those autumnal gale force winds can strip your skin of its natural protective barrier which prevents it from drying out. Similarly, those hot showers and baths are also harsh on your skin’s protective barrier as they strip the natural oils away.
And it’s not just the skin on your face that can suffer in the colder months. Your whole body can experience dry, itchy skin thanks to the change in the environment, and even that scratchy but oh-so-warm woolly jumper can cause skin irritation.
How can Avène help with your Autumn skincare?
Dedicated to dermatology, Avène is a contemporary dermo-cosmetic skincare brand with expert skincare products specially developed with vulnerable skin in mind.
With the uniquely composed Avène Thermal Spring Water at the heart of every product, Avène products have been clinically shown to soften, soothe and calm skin.
Beginning its journey when it falls as rain over the Cevennes Mountains, Avène Thermal Spring Water filters down through the soil and rocks for over 40 years before bubbling up to the surface, pure and clear, at the Sainte-Odile spring. The water is then directed straight from the source to the production plant where Eau Thermale Avène products are manufactured.
Avène offers a vast range of skincare solutions, so today, we’re going to introduce you to five of our favourite Avène skincare products to help you soothe and repair your post-summer unsettled skin.
