It’s time to say goodbye to summer and hello to the cozy season of Autumn. Now is a good time to start getting you skin ready for the colder months ahead by giving it a fresh new look.
Summer tends to leave your skin feeling a bit over worked and de-hydrated. In our Autumn Skin 101 series, we’ll give you all the products you need to get rid of your dull skin, revealing a fresh new you for Autumn.
Gel Cleansers
Gel cleansers are ideal if you suffer from an oily skin as they help to absorb the oils, letting you clean the skin.
- OptiPhi Facial Cleanser (4) is our number one pick! This soap free gentle cleanser cleans your face without disturbing your skins Barrier Integrity. It also contains a mild exfoliator, which means you don’t need to use any other form of cleansing systems with it. OptiPhi Facial Cleanser leaves the skin feeling fresh, rejuvenated and revitalised.
TIP: This product works even better when used in conjunction with the OptiPhi Muslin Cloth and cold water. - Olay Gentle Cleansers Refreshing Face Wash (4) cares for you skin with extracts of Aloe and Cucumber. Its great for removing makeup and impurities and leaves skin feeling fragrantly shower-fresh. Ideal for daily use.
- Yardley Oatmeal Cleansing Gel (6) purifies the skin with tea tree oil while it also nourishes it with oat proteins which add moisture the skin.
Foam Cleansers
- Beaute Pacifique Cleansing Foam (2) is also one of my favourite cleansers. The combination of foam that feels like mousse offers a one step cleaning system for all skin types. It produces a rich, luxurious foamy texture that leaves skin feeling super clean with no irritation.
Cleansing Milks
These types of facial cleansers are great for sensitive skin as they don’t irritate the skin’s surface.
- Olay Skin Adapt Cleansing Milk (3) helps to restore the skin’s balance. The purifying complex contains Lemongrass extract which is perfect for deep cleansing oily skins.
- Beaucience Hydrating Cleansing Milk (5) offers a light, moisturized formulation with a hint of coconut scent that cleans and cares for your skin.
- TLC Conditioning Cleansing Lotion (7) with Aloe Vera & Pro Vitamin B5 is designed for extra sensitive skin and works as a great overall cleanser, even to remove makeup.
Cleansing Wipes
Now these are the ideal facial cleansers, especially if you don’t really feel like cleansing.
TIP: Keep a pack of these wipes in your top drawer on your nightstand for those party nights when you really couldn’t be bothered. They are also the perfect travel companion!
- Estee Lauder Take It Away Wipes (1)
