🍂 5 Ways to Reset and Replenish Your Skin This Autumn

The golden glow of summer may have faded, but a new kind of beauty awaits. As we swap swimsuits for sweaters, iced matcha for hot cocoa, and light skincare layers for richer, more nourishing formulas, it’s time to give our skin the extra care it deserves.

When the temperatures drop and the air dries out, our complexions can start to feel the change. A mix of post-summer sun exposure and skin-stripping cold weather often leaves skin feeling dull, tight, or off balance.

So, we asked our skincare experts to share their best advice for glowing through the greyer days. Here’s how to gently reset, rehydrate, and restore your skin this season.

🌊 1. Hydrate from the Inside Out

Moving between chilly air and central heating can leave your skin feeling tight and thirsty. Start with the basics — aim for 2 litres of water a day to keep your skin (and body) hydrated.

When cleansing, be gentle. Every wash removes some of your skin’s natural oils, so skip harsh cleansers and switch to a richer moisturiser that supports the skin barrier through the colder months.

Don’t forget your omega-3 fatty acids — true hydration heroes that help calm redness and inflammation, balance oil production, and strengthen the skin barrier from within.

Omega-3 rich foods:

• Salmon

• Mackerel

• Oysters

• Sardines

• Chia seeds

• Flaxseeds

🍇 2. Safeguard with Antioxidants

Think of antioxidants as your skin’s shield. They protect against oxidative stress caused by UV light, pollution, and environmental changes — key culprits behind premature ageing.

The more antioxidants you include in your diet, the better your body (and skin) can defend itself. In other words: eat your skincare.

Foods high in antioxidants:

• Blueberries

• Strawberries

• Raspberries

• Artichokes

• Kale

✨ 3. Glow with Vitamin C

After a sun-soaked summer, skin can lose its sparkle. Vitamin C helps bring back that natural radiance by supporting collagen production and protecting against oxidative stress*.

It’s also a powerful immunity booster, perfect for the colder months ahead. Whether through a serum or your diet, make vitamin C a daily ritual for skin that looks bright, healthy, and refreshed.

Vitamin C-rich foods:

• Citrus fruits

• Peppers

• Broccoli

• Berries

💧 4. Feed Your Skin with Hyaluronic Acid + Ceramides

Your skin’s smooth, plump appearance depends on hydration — and hyaluronic acid is one of the key molecules that holds onto water within skin cells. Ceramides then help lock that moisture in, keeping your barrier strong and supple.

Together, they’re the perfect autumn duo to keep dryness and flakiness at bay.

Foods that support hyaluronic acid production:

• Oranges

• Kale

• Tofu

• Almonds

• Sweet potatoes

(Bone broth is one of the only natural food sources containing hyaluronic acid directly.)

☀️ 5. Don’t Skip the SPF

Our number one skincare rule — SPF, every single day.
Even when skies are grey, UV rays can still cause damage that leads to premature ageing. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF and make it the final step in your morning routine, all year round.
