With the arrival of tricky autumn air, you may need to adjust your skincare routine accordingly, starting with your face wash. Keeping your skin appearing healthy and hydrated during the cooler, drier months begins with clean, balanced skin. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, sunscreen, and makeup and sets the rest of your routine up for optimal results. Here are some autumn-friendly cleansing tips.

1. Establish Your Go-To Cleanser

All skin types may benefit from a skin-nurturing cleansing balm that has the softness of a cream with the slip of cleansing oil. The best formulas gently melt away impurities and support a healthy moisture barrier. Microbiome-friendly ingredients, such as nourishing plant oils and squalane, are key to getting a great cleanse that won't strip your skin. Using a cleansing balm may also be a great first step in a double cleanse to remove excess oil and makeup. You want your skin to feel comfortable and soft before applying your other products.

2. Renew Your Skin with Gentle Exfoliation

Another part of prepping a fresh canvas is promoting healthy cell turnover and eliminating buildup through gentle exfoliation. Don't let dead skin prevent your glow-up—use professionally formulated products made with effective ingredients, such as alpha hydroxy acids and fruit acids, or physical exfoliants like jojoba beads and bamboo spheres. Pumpkin enzymes are the perfect autumn exfoliating extracts all skin types may benefit from. Pamper your skin this season.

3. Research Different Cleanser Types

You can shop for cleansers in various ways, including by skin type, texture of the product, ingredients, or concern. Cream, gel, and exfoliating cleansers are all common types you'll discover. If you have dry skin, you may prefer a rich, creamy, hydrating cleanser. If you have oily-prone skin, you may want to try a salicylic acid cleanser to help unclog pores and lather away excess shine. If you have redness-prone or sensitive skin, you might want to use a gentle, balancing gel cleanser. Some cleansers work on all skin types, while others are targeted for specific needs. For best results, choose one with your unique goals in mind.

4. Do a Double Cleanse

Double cleansing is a two-step process designed to prep your skin for better absorption of your facial serums and creams. The first step helps remove stubborn makeup and sunscreen that sits on top of the skin. The second step cleanses away dirt and excess oil that built up over the day. Look for pairs of products designed for your skin type for the best results. For example, if you have oily skin, you may start with the salicylic gel cleanser and follow with a balancing polish to help refine and brighten your complexion.

5. Don't Overwash Your Face

Too much of a good thing? While cleansing is recommended up to twice a day, you shouldn't over-cleanse your skin as it may cause damage to your skin barrier. If your freshly cleansed skin feels tight or dry, you may be over-washing or not using the correct cleanser for your skin type. You should also be washing your face with lukewarm water (as opposed to hot or cold) to support your skin barrier.
