How to prepare your skin for a new season ?

While your skin may look beautifully tanned on the surface, it has often endured significant stress — dehydration, UV exposure, salt, and chlorine. That’s why a new season is the perfect time to reset your skincare routine and restore a healthy, radiant, and balanced complexion.

Summer is coming to an end, and with it the long days in the sun, repeated swimming and, sometimes, holiday excesses. While your skin may look beautifully tanned on the surface, it has often been subjected to significant stress: dehydration, UV exposure, salt, chlorine... The start of the new school year is therefore the best time to reset your beauty routine and restore healthy, radiant and balanced skin. Here's how to prepare your skin for a beautiful autumn skincare routine.

Assess Your Skin Condition After Summer

First and foremost, it is important to assess your skin's current needs. After summer, your skin may be:

• Dehydrated or dry
• Dull, with an uneven complexion
• Prone to blemishes due to the build-up of sunscreen and sweat
• Sensitised or marked by pigmentation spots

Gentle Exfoliation for Radiant Autumn Skin

Whatever your skin type, the start of the new school year is the ideal time to remove dead skin cells that have accumulated over the summer.

Why exfoliate your skin?
To revive your complexion’s radiance, refine skin texture and prepare your skin for moisturising or anti-dark spot treatments.

How to exfoliate?
Opt for gentle exfoliation once or twice a week.

Our Gommage des Vagues exfoliating cream gently removes dead cells and impurities while deeply hydrating the skin.

Purify and Cleanse Your Skin to Prevent Blemishes

The sun causes the epidermis to thicken, making it difficult for sebum to be released. Pores become clogged, leading to retention acne and inflammatory blemishes.
