As soon as the weather starts to shift the tiniest bit, my skin requirements immediately change. I start to feel a little dehydrated and patchy, and my dry skin comes back with the slightest hint of an autumn breeze. Sephora has a new quiz that can help you find the right products for you. From age to skincare concerns and even finding the perfect SPF, you can build a five-step routine that works for you. If you are new to incorporating skincare into your routine, the Skincare Routine Builder can guide you to getting started with the right products.
At the core of my routine, I keep the products the same and switch up serums and actives depending on what my skin needs. It is no surprise that the Sephora Routine Builder suggested my holy grail Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm as the first step, followed up by the BIOSSANCE Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream and the KIEHL’S SINCE 1851 Ultra Facial Cream.
I feel like I have talked about Farmacy’s Green Clean Cleansing Balm for ages now. It has been my go-to cleanser for over two years and is one of my all-time favorite skincare products. It is a super-light solid cleanser that melts into the skin. I massage it into my dry skin and makeup and SPF away fast and easily. A little water and a warm washcloth remove the cleanser, and it leaves my skin feeling super clean without being dry or stripped of its natural oils.
I am working towards making smarter choices in my skincare and love that Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream has the Sephora clean seal. It is formulated with a Marine Algae Complex to help fine lines appear less noticeable and Squalane for a big boost of moisture. It is incredibly rich without feeling heavy under my eyes and works beautifully under makeup, too. No concealer creasing but still maximum hydration!
The KIEHL’s Ultra Facial Cream is super rich and hydrating to help me combat those annoying dry patches I get as the weather cools down. This cream also utilizes Squalane to lock in hydration for up to 24 hours. I need a minimal amount to use over my face and down to my décolletage.
