Understanding Queensland Autumn

Autumn in Queensland isn't harsh, but the change in weather can still affect your skin. Lower humidity levels mean the air is drier, which can lead to your skin feeling the same. It's the perfect time to introduce more nourishing and hydrating products into your routine.

Skincare Adjustments for Autumn

1. Hydrate and Nourish: Swap your lightweight summer moisturiser for something richer. Look for products with hyaluronic acid and natural oils like almond oil and coconut oil, which are excellent for keeping your skin hydrated and soft.

2. Gentle Cleansing: Continue to cleanse daily, but opt for gentler, cream-based cleansers that don’t strip your skin of its natural oils.

3. Exfoliate Moderately: Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, but it’s important not to overdo it. Once a week is enough to keep your skin fresh without causing dryness.

4. Protect Your Skin: Even in autumn, the Queensland sun can be strong. Don't forget to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, even on cloudy days.

5. Night-Time Nourishment: Night creams with natural, nourishing ingredients like shea butter can work wonders in repairing and revitalising your skin as you sleep.
