Autumn Skincare Guide
Autumn calls for extra layers and not just in your wardrobe!
Colder air, lower humidity and central heating can all take their toll on your skin barrier, leaving skin feeling dry, flaky, irritated and more sensitive. Getting ahead of these seasonal changes and giving your skin that extra layer of care can help keep it feeling hydrated, comfortable and protected as we move into the colder Autumnal months.

Gentle Cleanse
A gentle cleanser should be the first step in layering up your Autumn skincare routine. As the weather changes, look for a cleanser that effectively removes make-up and impurities without stripping the skin, while helping to maintain hydration and support the skin barrier.
For those looking to introduce a richer cleanse for autumn, Elave Hydrating Cream Cleanser combines gentle skin cleansers with hydrating emollients to remove make-up and daily impurities while helping to prevent moisture loss. Enriched with vitamins and aloe vera, its gentle, cream formula helps soothe the skin, leaving it feeling clean, soft and hydrated.
For a lighter cleansing option, Elave Skin Balancing Cleansing Gel combines naturally derived foaming cleansers with manuka honey UMF 10+ to effectively remove daily residue, oil, make-up and impurities. With a natural source of amino acid and natural Humectants alongside Vitamin E and calming Camomile Extract, the formula helps refresh, hydrate and soften the skin, leaving it feeling clean, balanced and refined.

Renew & Restore Overnight
Just like we renew our wardrobes with the seasonal changes, our skin can benefit from a little renewal too. Colder temperatures, wind and central heating can leave the skin barrier feeling dry and uncomfortable, making Autumn the perfect time to focus on repairing, restoring and replenishing your skin.
Elave Rejuvenating Night Treatment combines hydrating emollients with glycolic acid arginine to gently exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin overnight. The formula helps replenish moisture while supporting collagen synthesis, leaving skin feeling smoother, softer and renewed by morning.

Layer Up Your Moisture
Just as we reach for an extra layer of clothes when the temperature drops, our skin may need an extra layer of moisture too. The changes in weather can leave skin feeling dry and more prone to irritation, making the right moisturiser an essential part of your Autumn skincare routine.
If your skin is craving something richer, Elave Intense Moisture Surge combines fractionated coconut oil with shea butter, naturally rich in vitamin E, alongside natural glycerin to deeply hydrate and help repair dry, sensitive skin. Its rich formula helps replenish moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated.
If you prefer something a little more lightweight, Elave Skin Balancing Moisturiser offers oil-free hydration with manuka honey UMF 10+, vitamins B5 and E, glycerin and hyaluronic acid. This combination helps boost hydration and support the skin barrier while leaving a lightweight, matte finish.

Autumn Skincare FAQs
Why does my skin get drier in autumn?
As temperatures and humidity levels drop, skin can lose moisture more easily. This can leave it feeling drier, tighter or more sensitive than during the warmer months.
Should I change my skincare routine in autumn?
If your skin starts feeling different as the seasons change, it can be helpful to adjust your routine. Increasing hydration and focusing on supporting the skin barrier are good places to start.
Should I use a heavier moisturiser in autumn?
This depends on your skin and how it responds to the change in weather. If it begins to feel particularly dry, you may benefit from a richer moisturiser such as Elave Intense Moisture Surge. If you prefer lightweight hydration, Elave Skin Balancing Moisturiser is an oil-free, light - weight alternative.
Do I still need SPF in autumn?
Yes. Sun protection isn't just for summer. UV exposure occurs throughout the year, so keeping SPF as part of your daily skincare routine is important even as temperatures begin to drop.
