How to get healthy glowing skin this autumn and winter.
September: Summer is officially over and autumn is drawing in fast, soon to be followed by winter. Autumn and winter are notoriously bad for skin — dry skin, flaky skin, dehydration and dullness. We’ve all been there. Like the rest of the year, you should stick to a consistent skincare routine morning and evening during the cooler seasons. So how can you best care for your skin as the seasons and weather change?
Autumn often shocks the skin with its abrupt seasonal shift, while winter is colder, drier and windier still. Looking after your skin during these months has never been easier, thanks to advanced products and supplements. Most remedies focus on hydration, keeping skin plump, luminous and healthy through the cold.
If you want to kick chapped winter skin — and that dreaded cold-weather complexion — to the curb and enjoy glowing skin all season long, here are our top tips with recommended products and supplements to keep your skin radiant as the sun fades and the chill creeps in.
What happens to skin in autumn and winter
During both autumn and winter it’s fundamental to supplement smartly and ensure your skin gets the nutrients it needs from the inside out.
LYMA Supplement contains Lycored Lycopene™ carotenoid — extracted from tomatoes to create a protective barrier between skin and harsh weather, improving texture and appearance. It also contains Cynatine® HNS, the world’s first solubilised, active keratin, delivering bioavailable, clinically proven keratin peptides directly to skin. LYMA’s mission is to protect, repair and strengthen body and mind against the elements over the long term.
Autumn Skincare Routine
1. Stay consistent with your routine
Don’t let busy schedules derail your skincare. Morning and evening, commit to double cleansing, toning, applying oils or serums, and layering on moisturiser. Consistency is the secret to glowing skin.
2. Hydrate your skin in colder months
Your skin will crave hydration as temperatures drop. Drink at least eight glasses of warm or room-temperature water daily. Herbal teas help too. On top of that, use a rich moisturiser and hydrating serum (especially hyaluronic acid) and apply a hydrating mask weekly for a deep boost.
3. Support natural skin regeneration
Exfoliate. As moisture levels drop, skin dries and flakes. Like trees shedding leaves, your skin sheds layers to make way for new. Chemical exfoliants are gentler and more effective than physical scrubs.Face peels. At-home peels can now safely mimic pro-level results, sloughing off dead cells for instantly brighter skin.
LYMA Laser. The most effective at-home rejuvenation tool. Use daily for 15 minutes to reduce wrinkles, pigmentation and scars, while tightening and firming your complexion naturally.
Winter Skincare Routine
1. Incorporate retinol
Retinol is an anti-aging powerhouse and helps regulate oil and encourage cell turnover. It’s especially effective in winter and can minimise pigmentation.
2. SPF isn’t just for summer
UV rays damage skin year-round — even through clouds. Always apply SPF under your moisturiser to prevent fine lines, pigmentation and age spots.
3. Tailor your diet to the season
Eat grounding root vegetables rich in beta-carotene (butternut squash, sweet potato, pumpkin, carrots). They boost cell renewal and collagen production. Anti-inflammatory foods should also be staples in your winter meals.
LycoBeads® Natural Tomato Lycopene contains a high concentration of beta-carotene — one reason it’s a hero ingredient in the LYMA Supplement.
At the very least, stick to a core skincare routine year-round. But adapt to seasonal threats like dryness, cold and sun damage. For concerns like wrinkles, loss of plumpness or dullness, discover LYMA’s Supplement and Skincare formulas — designed to keep your skin radiant whatever the season.
