Why your facial routine changes in the fall
With the return of the season comes a change we rarely notice right away: the air gets drier, the heating starts running again in the evening, and the skin on your face reacts before the rest of your body. What worked well in July — a light cream, a gentle cleanser — can suddenly leave a feeling of tightness.
There is no need to completely change your routine. The good news is that with the basic trio (cleanser, hydrolat, elixir, and cream), it is often enough to adjust one or two steps to get through the transition smoothly.
In what order should you adapt your facial routine in September?
The basic structure does not change.
Morning:
Cleanse face as needed → Apply a more nourishing cream (Rosa Flore or Malva Flore)
Evening:
Cleanse or remove makeup → Nectar Floral Facial Hydrolat → Anti-Aging Facial Elixir
What changes in the fall is not the order of the steps — it's the texture and quantity of the product you apply. For a complete reminder of the application order, our article Facial routine: in what order should you use your skincare? remains the reference.
Morning: a more nourishing cream
As soon as the air becomes drier, the skin loses water more quickly during the day. A cream that was sufficient in the summer may no longer be enough in September.
The Rosa Flore Supreme Facial Cream, with wild rose and chamomile, is well suited for combination and sensitive skin that is beginning to react to temperature changes.
The Malva Flore Supreme Facial Cream, richer in musk mallow and marine extracts, is a good option if your skin feels tighter or if you are looking for more nourishing care for visible signs of aging.
Evening: keep the Hydrolat + Elixir duo
The evening ritual does not change: cleansing, then Nectar Floral Facial Hydrolat, then a few drops of Anti-Aging Facial Elixir.
It is often the hydrolat + elixir duo that makes the difference in the fall: the hydrolat rehydrates the surface after a day of wind or heating, and the elixir seals in this hydration throughout the night.
Should you change your cleanser in the fall?
Not necessarily. The Pure Absolu 3-in-1 Cleansing Milk remains gentle all year round, morning and evening. If your skin feels particularly tight after cleansing, a simple trick: reduce the frequency of cleansing in the morning (use lukewarm water only, without product) and keep the cleansing milk for the evening, when removing makeup is necessary.
How to know if your current cream is still enough
A simple test: one hour after applying your morning cream, does your skin feel tight again? If so, it is often a sign that it is time to switch to a richer texture rather than adding an extra step.
For sensitive skin or skin prone to redness during this transition period, our article Natural facial routine for sensitive skin details the most common mistakes to avoid.
Frequently asked questions about the fall routine
Do I need to change my routine completely in the fall?
No. The morning/evening structure remains the same. What changes is generally the texture of the morning cream, not the order of the steps.
My skin feels tight after cleansing, what should I do?
Try cleansing with lukewarm water only in the morning, and reserve the 3-in-1 Cleansing Milk for the evening, when makeup removal is necessary.
Rosa Flore or Malva Flore for the fall?
Rosa Flore is well suited for combination and sensitive skin prone to redness. Malva Flore is richer and more focused on visible signs of aging.
Should the hydrolat be used more often in the fall?
It remains associated with the evening ritual, before the elixir. However, you can spray it on during the day if your skin feels particularly dried out by heating or wind.
A simple routine to get through the fall
You don't need to add steps to your routine for the fall — just adjust what you are already using. A more nourishing cream in the morning, the Hydrolat + Elixir duo in the evening, and a gentle cleanser used according to your needs.
