Teen Skincare Essentials and Need-to-Knows for Fall

Fall is here, which means pumpkin spice everything, cozy sweaters, and... changes in your skin. As the weather gets cooler and drier, your skincare routine might need a little tweak to keep your skin happy and healthy. Don't worry, we've got you covered with some essential tips and Avatara product recommendations to help you navigate the fall season with confidence.

1. Hydration is Key

Just like in the summer, hydration is crucial for healthy skin. But as the humidity drops in the fall, your skin might need a little extra help staying moisturized. Look for a thicker moisturizer than you might use in the summer, and consider adding a hydrating serum to your routine. Don't forget to drink plenty of water too!

 2. Exfoliation is Your Friend

As the weather gets colder, your skin might start to feel dry and flaky. Exfoliating once or twice a week can help remove dead skin cells and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. Just be sure to choose a gentle exfoliator that won't irritate your skin.

 3. Don't Forget the SPF

Even though the sun might not feel as strong in the fall, it's still important to wear sunscreen every day. UV rays can still damage your skin, even on cloudy days. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

As the weather changes, your skin might become more sensitive or prone to irritation. It's important to be gentle with your skin during this time and avoid harsh products or ingredients. Look for products that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, and consider incorporating soothing ingredients like chamomile or aloe vera into your routine.
